To say that Die Hard is one of Steve and John's favorite movies is an understatement. To say that The Cine-Files didn't come close to doing it justice back in 2016 is a fact. To say that they were thrilled that you picked this movie for them to redo in 2021 is as true as it can be.
If you haven't seen this incredible film you can buy or stream it right here.

0:00.0 | Hi, this is Steve. |
0:02.3 | On October 28th, 2016, John and I released our 20th episode on one of the greatest and |
0:08.7 | most archetypal action films of all time, John McTernan's 1988 classic Die Hard. |
0:16.3 | The episode was one hour, 10 minutes, and 17 seconds long. |
0:22.6 | We did not go in chronological order and to say we might have missed a few things would |
0:26.8 | be a ridiculous understatement. |
0:29.8 | Overall, Die Hard is, in my opinion, a masterpiece of craftsmanship, with brilliant storytelling, |
0:36.7 | incredible screenwriting, beautiful cinematography, great acting from the leads down to the smallest |
0:42.3 | supporting characters, amazing music, and jaw-dropping stunts. |
0:47.3 | So the fact is, I was absolutely thrilled you chose Die Hard as the early episode of |
0:53.1 | our show you most wanted us to redo this year. |
0:57.1 | The truth is, this is one of my all time favorite movies, and I know John loves it just |
1:02.9 | as much as I do. |
1:04.3 | So if you think we are going to get through this one in one part, you are sadly mistaken. |
1:11.0 | In fact, and I don't know this for sure yet, I have a feeling Die Hard might take three |
1:17.8 | parts. |
1:18.8 | So if by any chance you haven't seen this film, honestly, I don't think you can call |
1:23.6 | yourself a true cinephile, unless you go to cinephiles.net right now where you can buy |
1:30.1 | or stream Die Hard along with every other movie we've ever reviewed. |
1:35.1 | And if you happen to support the show on patreon.com slash the cinephiles, this week's short is |
1:41.3 | on directors living or dead, we would love to have as guests on the podcast. |
1:46.6 | I mean, wouldn't you want to hear a Cure Corasawa discuss his love for John Ford? |
