Is Die Hard a Christmas movie?
We don’t know.
But let’s assume for a moment that it is, and skip that tired debate.
That being the case, it’s time to retire your yippee-ki-yays and expand your holiday action movie playlist.

It also has a few genuine laughs in its script.
“I’m too old for this sh**!”
Only in the most ancillary way possible.
“I never thought I’d say this again.
I am getting the pig!”
“I want you to picture a bullet in your head.
Can you do that for me?”
“I’m too old for this sh*!"*
It might not be the holly-jolliest flick in our list, but it’s certainly an interesting one.
“Why is there always someone who brings eggs and tomatoes to a speech?”
“I’m always frank and earnest with women.
“I never thought I’d say this again. I am getting the pig!"
Uh, in New York I’m Frank, and Chicago I’m Ernest.”
“As Wichita falls… so falls Wichita Falls.”
The finale is easily the most interesting action set piece of any of the solo Iron Man movies.
“I want you to picture a bullet in your head. Can you do that for me?"
“It’s Christmas.
Take ‘em to Church.”
Oh, and vaguely set at Christmastime, but that really doesn’t matter.
“Why is there always someone who brings eggs and tomatoes to a speech?"
Okay, not exactly merry, but the pace is great and the finale is pure Hollywood.
“Wrong place, wrong time.
On Christmas day, no less.
“I’m always frank and earnest with women. Uh, in New York I’m Frank, and Chicago I’m Ernest."
The movie is passable if mostly forgettable, aside from Gene Hackman playing his typical authority figure.
Skip the sequels—they’re related to the original Behind Enemy Lines in name only.
“Let’s go get our boy back!”
“As Wichita falls… so falls Wichita Falls."
“I’m sorry for calling you an inanimate object.
I was upset.”
“It’s Christmas. Take ‘em to Church."
“Wrong place, wrong time. Nothing personal."
“Let’s go get our boy back!"
“I’m sorry for calling you an inanimate object. I was upset."
