Quiz: How well do you know the Home Alone films?

You guys give up, or ya thirsty for more?

IF YOU WATCHED The Late Late Toy Show last night, you might have noticed that the theme this year was the classic Christmas film Home Alone.

Patrick Kielty and a host of little Kevin McAllisters and Wet Bandits rocked around the Christmas tree as the Co Down man presented the Irish television staple for the second time.

Of course, the film sees eight-year-old Kevin accidentally left behind when his family leaves for France for the holidays, while in the second movie, Kevin boards the wrong flight and ends up in New York, by himself and separated from his family yet again.

But how much do you know about the Home Alone films? Test yourself.
