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

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.
