Macaulay Culkin

On the set of Home Alone (1990), Macaulay Culkin would jokingly direct the film for Columbus.

Chris

Chris wrote The Goonies and Gremlins and directed the first two Harry Potter films, of course, but Chris also made my family actually enjoy a night out together over Christmas 1990 by directing Home Alone.

When all is said and done, though, Home Alone is remembered for two things: Culkin's groundbreaking performance, a child proving able to carry an entire film upon Macaulay Culkin's shoulders (a feat subsequent movies by director Chris Columbus in the Harry Potter series failed to achieve).

Daniel Stern

Home Alone star Daniel Stern directed the original, and star Thomas Ian Nicholas also co-starred in the movie as the wacky pitching coach Phil Brickma, a character star Thomas Ian Nicholas revived when the Cubs were on their way to the World Series championship.

Columbus

After Columbus's success with The Goonies, Columbus directed Home Alone and the first two movies in the Harry Potter franchise.
