To celebrate Home Alone's 25th anniversary, what could arguably be the best movie ever made — or at least the best movie ever made about child neglect, robbery, and Little Nero's cheese pizza — will return to theaters.

For two nights only, we can enthusiastically act like Kevin McCallister wouldn't now be 33 years old, aka ancient enough to leave his own kid at home, and instead pretend that the year is 1995, Home Alone is a cool new movie starring a very promising child actor named Macaulay Culkin, and concession stand Pepsi is just a quarter. (We'd suggest wearing your highest rise jeans and high-tops, but since both of those things are back — and not just in a throwback way — you'll probably be wearing them anyway.)

On Sunday, November 8th and Wednesday, November 11th, the movie will play at 4:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. at more than 100 participating theaters across the country.

That means you have just over a month to hatch a plan to sneak in a whole cheese pizza — just for you.
