When I lived in Europe, it's the one movie my German, Swedish, French, and Danish roommates and I all watched together. Sadly, we knew all the lines by heart.Ann Brucehttp://annbruce.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545210782126483136.post-1682800464171858472010-12-24T04:04:11.522-08:002010-12-24T04:04:11.522-08:00I laughed aloud at your choice of Die Hard - for m...I laughed aloud at your choice of Die Hard - for me they can't be beaten for all-out fun and entertainment! One of the few series I will always watch when any of them comes on the TV. And this Xmas season in the UK, they're showing them all! LOL<br /><br />This year's favourite for us is Nativity with Martin Freeman, where a rather jaded primary school teacher has to put on a Hollywood-style nativity play with some challenging - but very cute! -children and staff. It's v British but I think everyone would love the humour. I'm just too mean at the moment to spend out the ££ to buy the DVD, but I'm hoping it'll appear in my stocking :).Clare Londonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09392142798976142547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545210782126483136.post-68312521088133331392010-12-23T16:55:18.827-08:002010-12-23T16:55:18.827-08:00@Shirley Wells: After Batman Forever, I'd pret...@Shirley Wells: After <i>Batman Forever</i>, I'd pretty much written off Val Kilmer, but he redeems himself in KKBB.Ann Brucehttp://annbruce.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545210782126483136.post-45628403314552893232010-12-23T03:40:37.665-08:002010-12-23T03:40:37.665-08:00I love anything Blackadder.

We do love The Nightmare Before Christmas and I swear Die Hard is on one of our channels 3X a week, I do enjoy it though. Probably one of the most oft-quoted lines ever along with "I'll be back" and "Go ahead, make my day". <br /><br />I like the Grinch, the animated one not that annoying Jim Carey one. I should get it on DVD because I always seem to miss it on TV. Have a great Christmas.
