Likewise.

Not dissing Die Hard, but why? Is it the least hyphenated (if you consider the others as the heights of space-horror-, dystopian-social-commentary-, period-adventure- and, er, very-big-action)? Or just a fondness for the tightness and location-based formalism - here are the towers, here is the heist, here is the cop, go? Or do you think that it's just a better movie than, say, Raiders?

towers

it's a better movie and it is the platonic ideal of the action movie

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.)

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.

"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.
