Holiday Streaming Picks: Classics to Enjoy10 of 10
Die Hard (1998)
This isn't a standard holiday classic per se. But over time, this '80s hit has become a fixture in most folks' seasonal viewing plans. We love the movie because it marks the first feature film appearance for Alan Rickman. Long before the British actor was menacing the students of Hogwarts Academy as Professor Severus Snape, he was making life hell for NYPD officer John McClane (Bruce Willis). Rickman plays Hans Gruber, the leader of a group of bank robbers who end up taking control of the building where McClane's wife is enjoying a holiday party. While the movie was a milestone for Willis' career, it's Rickman's deliciously evil portrayal that remains the standout performance.
