It was a coming out party for Bruce Willis the action star and Alan Rickman the villain and invented a whole new sub-genre of bottle episode action cinema. Clint, Cal and Alex discuss how John McTiernan learned all the right things from Akira Kurosawa action, why the movie doesn’t matter if it isn’t about marriage and how Alex can’t keep holding her grudge against the movie.Meanwhile, Dan’s algorithm doesn’t ever want to hear about the Die Hard / Christmas movie debate again...CineFix Top 100's FIRST T-SHIRT IS HERE - https://store.ign.com/products/cinefix-this-is-how-i-win-t-shirt - Get the Ikiru / Uncut Gems mash-up you never knew you needed until right this very moment!CineFix Top 100 was created by Clint Gage and Dan Parkhurst and is produced by Tayo Oyekan, with Director of Photography, Jamie Parslow and Technical Producers, Marhyan Franzen and Amir Rakib.
