#21: Home Alone
We are so used to big action films with lots of special effects and big cast names and whatnot, that we forget that sometimes a film can be made up of simple things that speak volumes. Well, we are reminded just how a simple score can change a character profile in Home Alone.

When Kevin first meets Old Man Marley, there is a terrible sounding score in the background, that intentionally instills the audience with a sense of fear, but after Kevin and Mr. Marley get to talking, the score changes from ‘Dier Irae’ to ‘Carol of the Bells’. The first being a Gregorian chant warning of danger, and the second of harmony.
