Best Action Movie Ever
I hate threads like this, anyhow...
Die Hard -
Great script and story
Great villain - one of the best
It's a heist, and I always love heist movies
A period piece - 80's: Japanese company in the US, black and white guy cop buddy movie, sophistication of corporate culture (related flick: Stone's 'Wallstreet').
Great sound - Helicopters soaring around the building, explosions
Great effects - note explosions
Bonus: People shouting unnessarily in German in every other scene
Drawback: elevator shaft fall scene - McClain should never have been able to catch that second ledge.
