GRCADIANS! We've got the Universal Die Hard playbook, and were running it step-by-step! :datass:

Get your version of Die Hard ready to watch on Christmas Eve to start playing at 21:57pm exactly - depending on your version of the film(and sense of timing!), this means Hans Gruber will fall to his demise (lol spoilers) bang on midnight, thus ushering in Christmas day. :wub:

SONMers: this is one of GRCade's proudest traditions.
While it's been done for the last four years, officially, we've been doing it for nearly a decade in the Chatroom Thread.

Join us! Get some Bailey's in a glass, some nibbles, a cheese board etc and quote along with us in the thread.

Just like strawberry floatin' Saigon! Eh, Slick? :toot:

You ask for miracles. GRcade, I give you the Die.Hard.Thread.

I will be out on the drink Christmas Eve, but I will watch Die Hard at some point over Christmas.

Die Hard is only number 6, but the Radio Times is only read by people in their 80s so that is a good result.

Highest rated comment:

There are two types of people in this world...
Those that think Die Hard is a Christmas film, and those that are wrong.


Lowest rated comment:

Die Hard is not and never will be a Christmas film, it's just a film with events that take place during the Christmas period.

I don't "get" Elf. I saw it for the first time last year and thought it was bobbins.

We should migrate GRcade to Flarum. :toot:

This is on Now TV https://www.nowtv.com/watch/die-hard-19 ... c7wuaHenAy

If you want to watch with the best image quality, the 4K Ultra HD version is amazing, it's a native 4K transfer which great contrast and detail.

The Blu-ray version, on the other hand, is gash.
