True! The Wikipedia entry makes for really good reading, so much went into its making: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Die_Hard

Aliens: My son suffered from night terrors in the not too distant past - I'd rather not reboot those just yet! :) (Would have to watch them in order, and the first is absolutely terrifying).

Will do them when he's 14.

need the SE version though. Probably best to watch alien too. great example of a limited budget helping a film

Not the SE. The theatrical release. The SE is the worst director's cut I have ever seen. It gives away way too many things that are better kept secret from the viewer (all the Newt backstory is better left unseen).
