''Yippie-kay-yay, motherfucker!'' New York cop John McClane gives terrorists a dose of their own medicine as they hold hostages in an LA office building. Bruce Willis: Officer John McClane Without a doubt one of the best known action movies ever made, Die Hard, did receive negative attention from critics upon its 1988 summer release, but the audiences unsurprisingly loved this diamond in the rough, charismatic John Macleane brought to life by Bruce Willis. Overall action movies are always very similar and predictable, and this movie is too predictable, perhaps that is the only big weakness of this movie, because who can deny there is something special with Die Hard. Die Hard is simply a very progressive, accelerated and perfectly paced action movie, not only does it tell a good ...Read more

"Welcome to the party, pal." Die Hard is considered to be the seminal action movie of the 1980s. Produced in 1988, this is the archetypal blueprint for the contemporary action thriller. It has been decades since this crackling action flick first hit cinemas in summer 1988, yet in the 21st century its influence on the action genre is still overwhelming. Die Hard is the smart-mouthed, high-rise thriller which launched Bruce Willis as an action icon. To this day, the world's greatest action hero (in my opinion) is Willis' John McClane.

In 1988 a hero was born. John McClane is the kind of guy that men everywhere want to be, the anti-hero. He's smart, daring and an all round legend. This film is smarter than the average action film by a country mile, and it catapaulted Bruce Willis into the limelight.

The plot involves a reluctant McClane jetting out to his wife's christmas party. A few classic character introductions and smooth one liners later and Bruce is the only man in the building who hasn't been captured as a hostage by a thieving band of German terrorists, led by Alan Rickman. The action scenes are some of the most memorable I can think of and McClanes one-liners are the stuff of legend.

Christmas wouldn't be complete without watching this film at least once!
