Yay, another entry from my list!
Die Hard is easily my favorite action film, and one of my favorite films, period. Had it at #16 on my list. Love everything about it, from the great action setpieces and the snappy script, to the genre-defining performances from Willis and Rickman.
I'm currently preparing a special episode for my podcast on the film, but in the meantime, I leave you with something I wrote on the film years ago (click here) and a link to a podcast where I guest starred a couple of weeks ago, where we talked about the film (click here), in case you want to hear me rambling about it.
As for Singin' in the Rain, I saw it for the first time a couple of years ago and liked it a lot. It's a spectacle and it excels in that. One thing is that as iconic as the titular dance/musical number is, I prefer the "Moses Supposes" bit, with Kelly and Donald O'Connor. I think I give a bit of an edge to An American in Paris, as far as musicals from the era go, but it's close. However, I never considered either for my list.
