“Die Hard” (1988)

Directed by John McTiernan

Terrorists seize an L.A. skyscraper one Christmas night and hold everyone inside prisoner. That is, everyone except New York cop John McClane (Bruce Willis), whose estranged wife (Bonnie Bedelia) is among the hostages. Now, McClane must evade fire from the bad guys and gets little help from the local police as he mounts a daring one-man rescue mission to save (people at) Christmas. 

Die Hard is that classic Christmas film everyone on the Internet loves talking about every holiday season. It’s not for kids (there’s language, violence, and explosions) but it is a holiday classic. There have been times I wished my work Christmas parties were more like Die Hard and less like church. There is a whole series of Die Hard movies, but I think this is the only Christmas one.
