well I personally find Raiders a bit dull so def. yes I think it is a better movie.

Die Hard is the definition of awesome action movie. Plus, it is totally hyphenated (best christmas movie ever made, for one.)

a hoy hoy, Tuesday, 21 February 2012 12:15 (fourteen years ago)

hyphenation & purism & execution

beware of greek bearer bonds (darraghmac), Tuesday, 21 February 2012 12:16 (fourteen years ago)

Because your imaginary friend keeps re-adding the bookmark while you sleep?

a) It is not better than Gremlins as a Christmas film!
b) It is not better than Gremlins.

Andrew Farrell, Tuesday, 21 February 2012 13:22 (fourteen years ago)

I have love for Gremlins. It made me a Phoebe Cates fan 4LYFE (I was too young to see Fast Times until a few years later). Still, Die Hard is Die Hard and Gremlins isn't.

Ha, that helicopter in Where Eagles Dare is nothing like anything that the Luftwaffe would have had. Looks like a Bell or something?

"Die Hard" is the apex of action movies, and awesome for myriad reasons (cast, script, direction). And unlike "Raiders" (though it pains me to say this, since "Raiders" is perfect, too) is not an homage.
