1. It's The Greatest Action Franchise Of All Time
For me at least, Die Hard is the ultimate action movie. It has all the ingredients you could possibly need or ask for to make up a winning action movie formula - the tough guy beaten down by family strife; guns, bullets, bombs, explosions (and Samuel L Jackson), plus more bad guys than you could shake a machine gun at. Die Hard also laid down the template for a series of other action movies such as Con Air, Speed, The Rock and Under Siege. John McTiernan's movie practically opened the door for the aforementioned action flicks (to the point that Steven Seagal is considered a John McClane rip-off) and for that we should be extremely grateful.
