You’re probably thinking what does John Hughes’ Christmas classic have to do with a real life story of a wandering hermit?

The answer: nothing. Well, apart from the fact that Kevin McCallister is abandoned in his own house at Christmas, and Christopher abandons himself in the Alaskan wilderness. Spurious connection, we know.

So, which should you watch? Well if you want to spend an hour-and-a-half watching a kid being stalked by two burglars and a creepy old man, then pick Home Alone.

However, if you want to watch something truly inspiring tale of a man learning to survive in the wilderness with nothing but himself and a rucksack, go for Into The Wild.

Which should I watch? Into The Wild, ya filthy animal!
