Yes. Of interest the part of John McLane was originally offered to Frank Sinatra as he had played the same part in a couple of films in the 60s. Contractually he had to be offered part before Willis but obviously refused due to age.

Die Hard is a superior action film, one of the very best in fact.

A good day to die hard however is one of the worst films I've ever seen. Lost count of how many innocent civilians Bruce Willis would have killed and the setpiece with a fight in Chernobyl FFS.

It was originally intended to be a sequel to ‘Commando’.

Die Hard is most definitely a Christmas movie. As much or more so than pish like The Holiday, Four Christmases and Love actually. 

 

We watch Die Hard & DH2 in the build up to Christmas every year. Also on the list is the Muppets Christmas Carol, Elf, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, The Lampoons Christmas Vacation, Deck the Halls  and Its A Wonderful Life. Added to the list this year is Violent Night. 

 

 

All good choices. Home alone 1 & 2?

The first Home Alone but not every year. Gremlins is also a "not every year" one too

His wife in the film is called Holly FFS, why is this being debated?

 

 

That's an usual surname. Is it Hungarian in origin?

Die hard IS a Christmas movie

 

it's a festive redemption movie of a man who has to see past his own insecurities about his wife's success, appreciate the family he is going to lose and find a new reason to live

An extremely important issue in these troubled times. On balance, I would say -yes
