5. Die Hard
Release: 1988 | Director: John McTiernan
What is the film about? John McClane is a police officer from New York who doesn’t really want to go to a Christmas party at Nakatomi Plaza in Los Angeles. He does it grimly for his wife. When terrorists suddenly storm the event and take hostages, John must try to save everyone with tricks and skill.
What makes Die Hard so good? In the 80s, huge hulks dominated as action heroes. John McClane stands out because he is not afraid to squeeze into an air duct. Die Hard has charm and good action. Especially nice for a Christmas movie is the chemistry between John and the police officer Al Powell. Alan Rickman as the villain Hans Gruber also does a fantastic job.
