DIE HARD (1988) - Dec. 21, 2005 (Umpteenth Viewing)
A classic. As far as action movies go, it's really hard to get much better than this. Bruce Willis is pretty much perfect as John McClane, a New York cop who finds himself going up against a building full of hardened terrorists. Alan Rickman is equally good as Hans Gruber, who is certainly one of the all-time great movie bad guys. Really, what is there to say about this movie? It's violent, funny, exciting; it's pretty much the perfect action movie, and a sad reminder of how impotent nearly all contemporary action films are. ****
