No.2 - Die Hard
Okayyy our number 2 Christmas film of all time and possibly/likely our most controversial inclusion.
Die Hard is everything every Christmas movie should always be forever. It’s a mix of the baddie fromThe Grinch Who Stole Christmas; the unbeatable hero who shows up to teach everyone a lesson from Miracle On 34th Street; the ghosts of past, present, and future who bring insight and change from A Christmas Carol; plus every redemptive struggle about family and personal evolution and good versus evil, all wrapped up in a big shiny box with a bow made of explosions and bullets. There’s Christmas, and then there’s Christmas with punching terrorists in the face and winning back your entire family — which do YOU prefer?
It doesn’t matter what you prefer, actually, because Bruce Willis prefers the latter, and Bruce Willis always wins. You’d know that if you watched the Die Hard movies. Yippey Kay Christmas Motherhubbards!
