“Keep the change, ya filthy animal.”
It’s the sarcastic final line of an iconic scene, etched into the minds of countless “Home Alone” fans as a classic and quotable moment in a movie full of them.
And yet, when fans actually go to search for “Angels With Filthy Souls,” the Depression-era gangster flick that Kevin McAllister (Macaulay Culkin) pops into his Vcr while he’s, you remember, home alone, they’re hit with the sudden realization: the film never actually existed.

Chris Evans is one of many people who spent Christmas shocked after discovering the old movie featured in Chris Columbus’ 1990 holiday classic “Home Alone” is not a real movie, but a fake one created just for the Macaulay Culkin-starring comedy. Seth Rogen went viral on Twitter after posting, “My entire childhood, I thought the old timey movie that Kevin watches in Home Alone (Angels With Filthy Souls) was actually an old movie.”
Rogen’s post caused a chain reaction of celebrities and fans realizing for the first time the classic film is not real. Evans’ reaction, “It’S Not???,” earned 22,000 re-tweets and over 175,000 likes. The black-and-white movie is featured during a pivotal scene where Kevin McCallister scares off the burglar Marv (Daniel Stern) by playing threatening dialogue from the film to confuse Marv so he mistakes it for a real person inside the house.
Of course, the movie being fake isn’t breaking news.

Twenty-five years ago, Macaulay Culkin taught the world that a home invasion can result in physical comedy magic and family fun for all. Yes, Home Alone first opened in theaters on Nov. 16, 1990. Of course, Home Alone taught us other lessons too. For example, you can accidentally abandon your child without getting in trouble with Child Protective Services. We learned that a scary old man next door just might be a lonely guy who's handy with a snow shovel. And perhaps most important of all, Home Alone proved you can make a successful movie starring one child actor onscreen alone for...

Code of Silence
Written by Michael Butler, Dennis Shryack and Mike Gray
Directed by Andrew Davis
U.S.A., 1985
Eddie Cusack (Chuck Norris) and his crew (among them Dennis Farina, Ralph Foody and Joe Guzaldo) are undercover cops stationed just outside a rundown apartment complex in a Chicago slum, waiting for the right to storm the building for a drug bust. Unbeknownst to the detectives, a rival gang is also prepping to raid the building, and when both forces collide, the entire operation explodes into a mess for all three factions. At present, two Chicago gangs are on the cusp of war and Eddie Cusack must contend not only with that terrible situation but a cover up within the force following the unwarranted demise of a teenage boy during the muffed raid. As the film’s tagline states, Eddie Cusack is a good cop having a very bad day!

Whether you're an avid John Hughes fan or a just a casual appreciator, there's no denying that the tragically deceased writer-director-producer penned some of the most unforgettably hilarious rants and one-liners ever utted on the big screen. Don't believe me? The following ten quotes provide better proof than I ever could. Just beware of the profanity, kids.
"Nothin' burps better than bacon."
- Ed O'Neill as Dutch, "Dutch"
"Pucker up, buttercup!"
- Jeffrey Jones as Principal Ed Rooney, "Ferris Bueller's Day Off"
"I tell you what I'm gonna give you, Snakes. I'm gonna give you to the count of 10 to get your ugly, yellow, no-good keister off my property before I pump your guts full of lead! One, two, ten!"
- Ralph Foody as Gangster Johnny, "Home Alone"
"I'm gonna knock your d-ck in the dirt."
- Paul Gleason as Principal Richard Vernon, "The Breakfast Club"
"The thing is, I'm kinda like the leader.
