Yes, my husband insists that every year we watch Die Hard. This is our annual Christmas
movie and while it is rather gruesome, I have to say I still love the message.
This man loves his wife and would do just about anything to save her and
restore their marriage. Even fight supposed terrorists. So I was surprised to
see it’s number 6 on the Rotten Tomatoes Holiday Movie List http://www.rottentomatoes.com/guides/best_christmas_movies_2012/.
My favorite Christmas Movie is the classic Jimmy Stewart, “It’s a Wonderful Life.” The line I will
never forget from that movie is “When a bell rings an angel is receiving his
wings.” That one grabs my heart and squeezes it every time. Whoever the
screenwriter was, he knew just how to grab your emotions and rip them apart. I
still tear up when he goes back and sees how the town would have been if he
hadn’t lived. Love the concept and one of these days I want to write a modern
version of that storyline.
