Albu?, Die Hard is the best and only acceptable Xmas film

It's on ITV now
It's the best Xmas film.

It has everything. Love, friendship, Bruce Willis running around shooting people.
And don't get me started on Alan Rickman

I recorded it as never seen it but not a fan of violent films

Cheeseycheeseycheesecheese · 22/12/2021 23:07

I mean it's not the only... but it's definitely a Christmas movie.

2Rebecca · 22/12/2021 23:07

Love actually yesterday was brilliant

DropYourSword · 22/12/2021 23:09

I've never seen it before, so we're rectifying that now. So far, I prefer It's A Wonderful Life.

You’ll get people coming on this to say it’s not a Christmas movie.
But it is, the storyline is essentially home alone, just with grown ups and a bit more violence.

MaryAndGerryLivingInDerry · 22/12/2021 23:15

100%

We watch it on Xmas eve.

Stopsnowing · 22/12/2021 23:15

We started our Xmas viewing with Die Hard. So far everything else we have watched has been a massive disappointment

8misskitty8 · 22/12/2021 23:16

We also like bad Santa

MrsTerryPratchett · 22/12/2021 23:17

I love it but Muppet Christmas Carol is better.

Toddlerteaplease · 22/12/2021 23:17

Muppets Christmas Carol is the only acceptable Christmas film.

Yay, I'm not the only one.

For me, the absolute best thing is Alan Rickman. Steals the whole film.

Yep, got it planned for tomorrow evening. Proper start to Christmas.

Mooloolabababy · 22/12/2021 23:19

It's the best Christmas film imo (well, it's a tie between that and elf!) I've not seen it yet this year and it's not Christmas until I have so that'll be tomorrow nights viewing for me!!

pinkcattydude · 22/12/2021 23:20

Love it can’t resist Die Hard if it’s on and definitely a Christmas movie. Although my favourite Christmas movie is The Night Before’.

vickibee · 22/12/2021 23:21

I love this movie too, Alan Rickman is just the best at being a baddie

And Bruce looks so young..

It is a pretty awesome film that love actually or the Richard Attenborough miracle on 34th Street I can't decide.

Yippee ki-yay motherfucker 😁😁

comfortablyfrumpy · 22/12/2021 23:25

Definitely the best.
Bruce is young and all twinkly eyed.
Alan Rickman is just lusciously evil.
And they don't do shoulder pads like that any more!
We always watch it on Christmas Eve Grin
