100 Greatest Movies of All Time...That I Own. # 80 ~ Unaccompanied Minors






The Christmas movie.

It was only a matter of time before this genre showed up on the list.  This is the first.

It definitely won't be the last.

So let's see, this title made it's way to me a few years ago, as I was looking for Christmas movies we hadn't seen yet.  Gave it a whirl on Netflix, and naturally, since it's on the list...

We loved it.

It's the tale of a group of children, stranded at an airport run by Lewis Black.  These are all children that are flying alone for the holidays due to their less than ideal family situations.  Well, as luck would have it, a snowstorm hits and all the kids are trapped in the Unaccompanied Minors room.  Except for a few who decide to break out and be free.

They spend the rest of the movie, Home Alone style, running from the security guards and Lewis Black.  The kids are out to ensure that a good Christmas is had by the little sister who is worried that Santa won't find her.

Along the way, they may just provide a better Christmas to more than the little girl, and discover a few things about themselves along the way.

Very funny movie, and it will be played without fail sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas every year.
