Or the quintessential 80s movie. Or maybe the quintessential 80s Christmas movie.
(No, seriously, Christmas trappings aside, and even "Hero's Quest to Get Home for Christmas" notwithstanding, someone with more time than I have right now could lay out the parallels between the Passion of Jesus Christ and the trials and triumphs of John McClane. Hmmm — maybe that makes it the quintessential Easter movie. Only set at Christmas. Ho-ho-ho.)

Not a Christmas movie, not a good movie, not even a good Bruce Willis movie of which there are only 6 in total:
Pulp Fiction
Nobody's Fool
Twelve Monkeys
Fifth Element
Sin City
Moonrise Kingdom
Was actually hoping they would Honest Trailer it not just be a bunch of giddy fan boys, oh well.
+Stan Pedzick I respectfully disagree (obviously).
Of the ones I've seen from your list, I'll confess I'm one of the three people I know who don't particularly like The Fifth Element, though not through any fault of Willis'.
+Mary Oswell is not that much of a fan of Fifth Element either, even all the times I manage to find it on the TV when nothing else is on to watch live or on the DVR.
You'd think that would help. 🙂
(I'll note that my description of Die Hard as the "quintessential Christmas movie" is at least somewhat tongue-in-cheek, though the Christmas holiday does play a significant role in the plot in various ways. It's maybe better described as a Christmas time movie. But I do like it a lot, in ways that are very strange because I'm not that big a fanatic of the action-adventure genre as a whole, particularly the 80s versions.)
I didn't see The Fifth Element because boron is… boring.
