Pure Cinema: Sharing My Letterboxd Likes Day 67

A New York cop has the hardest Christmas Eve of his life when a group of terrorists seize the downtown LA building where his wife works.

The greatest Category 2 Christmas movie ever made, DIE HARD also qualifies as a top-notch action flick. It’s a smorgasbord of bullets, sweaty wrestling, sardonic one-liners, and property damage. Bruce Willis became a bona fide movie star here, and having Alan Rickman and Reginald VelJohnson in the cast just adds to the fun. This flick is the definition of “crowd-pleaser” and a must-watch every Yuletide season.

DIE HARD is streaming on AMC Plus, and available to buy or rent elsewhere.
