A must-watch in every sense, we unpack the complex themes told through exceptional cinematography, the moment Alan Rickman (RIP) decided to never work with the director again, and why Tommy watches this film EVERY SINGLE YEAR! We also decide, once and for all, if Die Hard is a Christmas Movie or not. Is Die Hard in your must-watch collection?
