If there's one movie that fits the holidays, it's Home Alone. This week the film is thirty years old, and it is still widely watched during the holidays. The American film is about a large family who go on vacation to France, but accidentally forget one of the children at home.

From the book 'A Christmas Carol', which was released in 1843, countless films have been released, including the 3D animated film from 2009. A Christmas Carol is about an old and bitter man, Ebenezer Scrooge, who hates Christmas. His life revolves around getting money, and nothing else. However, his outlook on life changes when three ghosts visit him on Christmas Eve. All three ghosts give the old grumpy man an important message. The first ghost shows him his most painful events from the past, the second ghost teaches him to reflect on his statements, and the last ghost shows him how people think about him when he is no longer there. This frightening night ensures that the man changes his life, and he becomes the gentle man he once was again.
