"Die Hard" and other Christmas movies

“New York City Detective John McClane [Bruce Willis] has just arrived in Los Angeles to spend Christmas with his [estranged] wife. Unfortunatly, it is not going to be a Merry Christmas for everyone. A group of terrorists, led by Hans Gruber [Alan Rickman] is holding everyone in the Nakatomi Plaza building hostage. With no way of anyone getting in or out, it's up to McClane to stop them all. All 12!”

Besides Die Hard, we have these favorites in our DVD Collection:  A Christmas Story, Christmas with the Kranks (starring Tim Allen & Jamie Lee Curtis), Elf, Fred Claus, Home Alone (plus Home Alone 2 & 3), Frank Capra's It's a Wonderful Life, Love Actually (“love and holiday cheer in London”), Miracle on 34th Street (the 1947 original and its 1994 remake), Nothing Like the Holidays, and Scrooge.  

And quirky ones such as Tokyo Godfathers (some language):

“The story takes place on Christmas Eve in Shinjuku, Tokyo. Middle-aged has-been Gin, aging transvestite Hana, and teenage runaway Miyuki are homeless friends who have formed a makeshift family structure bond. That bond is tested when they find an abandoned baby while searching for food in a trash dumpster. They try to care for the infant themselves, and travel throughout the city in search of the baby's parents.”

And Terry Pratchett's Hogfather:

“It's the holiday of Hogswatch in the parallel universe of Discworld, the night when kids anticipate presents from the beloved Hogfather. But someone–or something– wants the Hogfather out of the way. Now it's up to the most unlikely of heroes to get the holiday back on track before humanity loses all hope.”
