This is my go-to joke-answer when people ask me what my favourite Christmas film is (the truth is I don’t have a favourite anything), but what always catches me out is just how Christmassy Die Hard really is.

"Die Hard" is a terrific example of what happens when all the pieces of a film fall together perfectly. There simply are no weak spots or dull moments in the film. Is "Die Hard" one of the best overall movies ever made? Probably not. But it's undeniably one of the best action movies ever made.

Is Die Hard a Christmas movie? Definitely! Is it the best Christmas movie? The best non-traditional Christmas movie. It isn't Christmas until I see the Hans drop. A yearly must watch. Nothing else puts me in the the Christmas spirit quite like Die Hard.

THIS IS A CHRISTMAS MOVIE. I queue this bad-boy up every Christmas season along with the other standard fare, but it's a Christmas movie. It is also the godfather to all action movies since, equaled by only a few. That is all.

"You wanna know the secret to surviving air travel? After you get where you're going, take off your shoes and your socks then walk around on the rug bare foot and make fists with your toes." I still don't know if that really works. "Son of a bitch! Fist with your toes." According to John McClane it does! Anyway, Die Hard will always be fun to watch. So many little moments, Alan Rickman, Bruce Willis at his best, fist with your toes, bare feet,…
