3. Angels With Filthy Souls (Home Alone)
Without parental control, Kevin McAllister (Macauley Culkin) is free to channel-hop through whatever tasteless trash he likes. And so he stumbles upon Angels with Filthy Souls. Suspending the feelgood Christmas atmosphere for a couple of minutes, this gangster film makes up in violence what it lacks in subtlety. We see Johnny, above, dispensing mercy with his tommy-gun (the shots of his victim barely keeping within Home Alone's PG certificate) and thus cementing his place as one of cinema's most iconic psychopaths. Johnny returns for Angels with Even Filthier Souls, in Home Alone 2; the fact that both sequels practically tread the same ground as their predecessors surely cannot be lost on director Chris Columbus.
