In the first ‘Home Alone’ Kevin watches a old timey gangster noir, ‘Angels with Filthy Souls’, that they filmed especially for the movie. It was conceived as a parody of the 1938 film ‘Angels with Dirty Faces’.

Impressively, it only took them one day to shoot! Perhaps that’s what encouraged them to reprise the joke in the sequel, in which Kevin watches ‘Angels with Even Filthier Souls’.
