I knew even without reading it that Die Hard
was #1 on the list - I still remember seeing it
for the first time in the theatre with you!
Watched it the other day - still holds up to (and
indeed surpasses) most other action flicks.
I would also toss in DH2 - it's not in the top 5,
but worth a mention.
Yippie Ki Ay, MF!

I also think Christmas vacation deserves to be on the list. It's a classic!

Ooh, good one Nadine. That's a great movie, too. Hugh Grant playing something other than a fopishly charming rogue. Also, I giggle every time a Thai movie theater has a poster for one of his movies, listing him as 'Huge Grant'.

As always, I'm late but I would like to add "About a boy".

The Christmas moment being Hugh Grant in the supermarket when his dad's christmas song comes on. november the sodding 19th.

"Let them have their snow and eggnog. Me, I’ll turn on the air-con, pop in some Die Hard, and be happy knowing that I’m loved… but also that I’m warm". Classic line! Let's watch DieHard on the 25th.

Gremlins was a great one... I thought about it but decided it had too much Christmas imagery to qualify. Although now that I think about it, the story about her dad breaking his neck while coming down a chimney dressed as Santa and how they only found his body after the smell got so bad a few days later was pretty un-Christmassy. New entry - GREMLINS!

I think Gremlins deserve"s a spot on that list maybe between 4 and 5..

Great idea! Indeed memories of the family gathered around the chimney with a warm cosy feel (especially when looking at the snow outside the house) seem so far away! Didn't bother decorating the christmas tree yet, not in the mood with such good weather. I know I have a dvd of a fireplace with a log burning forever somewhere...

Batman Returns: I thought snow was another word for cocaine....
