Retro RePost: Home Alone's Fake Gangster Movie

Several years ago, I decided to look into what I thought was a legitimate movie: the "movie-within-the-movie" from Home Alone, "Angels with Filthy Souls." I wanted to know more about it, where I could watch the whole thing, and why it never played on TV.

Turns out the whole thing is fake.  

It also turned out I wasn't the only one who thought it was real.

This year, we figured my daughter was old enough to watch Home Alone for the first time, and she loved it!  Doing so reminded me of this article, and I figured now is as good a time as any.


Merry Christmas, ya filthy animal.

  1. Omg… one of my students (who’s like 10 and was born like 20+ years after the movie came out) was saying “Merry Christmas, ya filthy animal” over and over the last week before winter break!

  2. Haha, hopefully you caught the reference before this article! If not, now you do! :)

    1. So weird being able to “reply” to posts…

      Anyway, yes - I caught the reference immediately. That kid always brings up random pop culture stuff from WAY before his time, so we have a lot of fun with that. Sometimes he’ll bring something up in front of the whole class and usually none of the other students have any idea what we’re talking about. =P
