Let’s just set the record straight, the 1988 action film, “Die Hard,” is one of the best Christmas movies PERIOD!  Don’t get all butt-hurt, we’re NOT saying it’s the BEST Christmas movie, we’re saying it is ONE Of the best.  Staring Bruce Willis, and Alan Rickman, it still holds up 35 years later and there is a good chance we will be watching it multiple times this December.

Facing Christmas 3,000 miles from his estranged wife and two children, New York policeman John McClane (Bruce Willis) flies to Los Angeles bearing presents and hoping to patch up his marriage. Stylish and cool Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman) is in Los Angeles as well for the holiday season, but he’s not there to give out presents. He’s there to take: more than $600 million in negotiable bearer bonds from the multinational Nakatomi Corporation, where McClane’s wife Holly (Bonnie Bedelia) is an executive. When the takeover becomes hostile, it’s up to John McClane to take on the terrorists with all the grit and determination he can muster–but not without a sense of humor.

Here’s a look at the official Domestic and Japanese versions of the poster followed by this week’s alternative movie posters for the film that had EVERYONE in 1988 saying “Yipee Ki Yay Mother 4UcK3r!”
