Don't let the body count and bullets fool you; Die Hard is an excellent holiday movie. Sure, it has the explosions, violence, and suspense of an action movie, but that is not what this movie is about. Like many great holiday films, it's about a relationship on the rocks; Bruce Willis is John McClaine, a NYPD cop who visits his wife, who moved to LA after a big promotion. The distance and position has put a strain on their relationship, and it takes a crazy Christmas party turned hostage situation to bring them back together. Plus, you get witty one-liners, some great action, Alan Rickman playing a villain, and the famous broken glass scene, all packed in to one holiday thriller. "Now I have a machine gun. Ho-ho-ho!"
