For as awful a character as Ellis was, still have to give him credit: he never compromised Holly. He didn't say, "Hey this is her husband," he told them John, whom he had never met before that night, was his "old friend."

Honestly I think the argument ends at "the entire plot only happened because there's a Christmas party" AND more importantly that the entire theme is togetherness, rekindling love and appreciating what we have. Fighting for family values and love overpowering greed and materialism at the core. A flawed every man brings his estranged family back together to overcome the hardship of jaded thieves who only value money over human life. It has such core themes of classic Christmas films it's kind of silly that there's even an argument that it isn't a Christmas film.

This movie really started the trend of the "realistic" hero: a down to Earth man who may not have extraordinary skills but works his way through extraordinary circumsrances. Before this action movies were defined by a lot of the actors and archetypes Hans and McClane bring up, either roided out dudes standing there and killing 400 men without reloading (modern at the time) or infinitely stoic quickdraws with notches on their belt in the old west (classics). But here comes this failing marriaged cop who's not even a detective, no martial arts skills or giant muscles, who gets scared and panics but thinks past it, played by a historically romance typecast actor.

This movie was a groundbreaker when it comes to action. It was the first of its kind to have the hero be an everyday guy. He wasn’t some muscle bound hero that never bled. He was the guy next door who was fighting with his wife, always had a smart comeback, and more than bleeds - he gets his ass kicked. The other thing this movie did different that set the tone for future films was the bad guy was a well-dressed, well-spoken, educated man. Someone who if they sat down next to you at a bar, you’d enjoy conversing with them. This movie defined action movies for the next couple of decades and it almost bombed and was trashed because no one thought Bruce Willis could pull off being an action hero.

It always freaks me out, look at it again. That fall in the vent shaft was real! The stunt guy missed his mark. Terrifying. They left the footage in the movie, because the guy didn't die, in which case the studios would refrain out of respect (and possible lawsuits).

Love watching you guys doing reactions. Die Hard is a Christmas movie for all the reasons you gave. Every year on Christmas Eve I watch Home Alone (for me it’s Die Hard for kids) followed by Die Hard. Might not be a star but you can get an advent calendar which is Hans falling down the building and each day he gets closer to the ground. Keep up the great work guys. Merry Christmas and have a great New Year

I saw Alan Rickman attend a play at a small theatre in London that I was at for my 17th birthday. I was way too shy to speak to him but I watched him interact with loads of fans for hours after the play and he seemed like nicest man ever. I don't remember what play I saw but I'll always remember him

Fun fact: when Hans falls from that building out the window. They lied at the count when he was to fall. They dropped him at 2 instead of 3, so they could get the most genuine look ever as he's falling.

To be fair, he did cover her by saying he was the friend in the building. I mean ok probably because he was trying to look better to the criminals, but still. Merry Christmas.

This will tell you how good of an actor the guy who played Ellis was. He always played a straight man before this, boring business type. He had an idea for this character that he ran by the Director… And he loved it. His attitude, mannerisms, and drug use was all his idea. I thought that was pretty cool! 💙💙💙

Welcome to the party, guys! This movie is based on the 1979 novel NOTHING LASTS FOREVER, which was a sequel to THE DETECTIVE which starred Frank Sinatra.

It seems like everybody is disappointed when McClane says, "Argyle, tell me you heard the shots..." then it shows Argyle sitting in the Limo talking on the phone with the music blaring. What everyone doesn't get is that Argyle is in the underground parking 30+ floors of concrete and steel below where the shots were fired. After the body hits the police car and McClane says, "Welcome to the party pal," it turns out the sergeant's name is actually Powell.

Okay the tv dinner joke.... IN the 80s, TV DInner's were generally packed in aluminum foil to seal in freshness. ONly in the late eighties, early nineties did they switch to plastic. SO prior to the switch, you had no choice but to use an oven to cook them. There were no microwaveable tv dinners back then.
