Jul 2021

is my favorite 'Christmas movie'

hahahaha

The most striking scene to me is the footage of the terrorist villain falling backwards out of the building.... yikes.

A very fine actor he was, actually my favorite role of Hans Gruber was in "Sense and Sensibility" where he plays a good guy... lol
