Die Hard Celebrates It's 20th Year Anniversary

That's right folks. If you want to feel old AND be part of Gen X, Die Hard turned 20 years old this year.

It was 1988, I was in the 8th grade, and there I saw what was hands down the best movie I had ever seen and is still to this day. I had never had a "hero" I much looked up to like my Dad's generation had Buck Jones or Roy Rogers. That is until my generation got John McClane. And did we get a hero. A normal guy like Indiana Jones who could take a beating and kill terrorists and above all in what was becoming a progressively politically correct country.

I even dressed up as him for Halloween my sophomore year in high school (notice all the things that were permissible back then which would have landed me in jail today)


Regardless, a very Cappy Cap salute to John McClane and Die Hard's 20th Anniversary.

    We should've had McClane/Palin run, we would've won!

    One of my all-time favorite movies.

    Seen it dozens of times.

    Bruce Willis is almost Steve McQueen cool. Almost.
