Die Hard IS a Christmas Movie As Far As I'm concerned...

Phoniest part of the flick was when Willis jumps from the roof and shoots the glass out of an office window. Windows that high up won't shatter like that. Also, the fire hose wheel that he used to support himself breaks and is falling. As heavy as that hose wheel is, his ass should've fallen too just by shear force. In the flick, he conveniently has time to untie himself. Bullshit.

I didn't realize that upper-floor office building windows were built to resist automatic gunfire.

Thanks, Drip.

Yes, "Die Hard" and "Lethal Weapon" are excellent holiday viewings. And here's an interesting article about some other action movies set during the holiday season:

Most I would never have associated with the holiday (i.e. "The Bourne Identity" or "First Blood") and some are so bad, they don't even qualify as a "Roadhouse"-level guilty pleasure ("I come in Peace" and Reindeer Games.").

And "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang," is an awesome, overlooked gem.

You know why he had time to untie himself?

Because it was written that way in the script.
