According to Wal-Mart, the holidays are all about spending time with the family. And there can be no greater movie example of this than when John travels across the country to spend Christmas with his estranged wife.
John McTiernan's movie "Die Hard," released in 1988, presents us with one shoeless man's struggle to rekindle the romance while battling a group of thieves pretending to be terrorist.
Spoiler Alert- he gets the girl, but not until a lot of stuff blows up.
The movie has everything you need to check off your Christmas movie list. Great holiday music like Winter Wonderland" and Run DMC's "Christmas in Hollis." Christmas decorations and presents are also shown in many scenes.
But the biggest holiday bang for you buck with this movie are the themes of hope and redemption as John lays it on the line for love.
That's my recommendation. Dust off your video cassette tape, plop it in and pour yourself a tall glass of nog.
Side note, do not waste your time on the sequels.
