Check out Maverick (1994), western/comedy, starring Mel Gibson, Jodie Foster and James Garner (original Maverick from the 50's tv series). Lots of famous western stars and country artists. Great movie!!!

2024-10-14 20:44:52 +0000 UTCAnother film that connects details throughout its script is "Silverado." It's a Western that seems to get overlooked for others like Eastwood's films or "Tombstone." But it's simply fun and entertaining, and maybe like a bit of a love letter to the genre from Lawrence Kasdan.

2021-12-26 02:13:08 +0000 UTCHey, everyone. Please head on over to YouTube and catch Natalie's reaction to Die Hard where you can donate a few dollars in Nat's name to Feeding America. Already over $4000 has been donated, and there are plenty more hungry mouths to feed. Happy Holidays to all!
Alan Kobb
2021-12-25 21:07:53 +0000 UTCYeah, what would the guy who starred in the movie know? Iron Man 3, Rocky IV, and L.A. Confidential should considered Christmas movies too, since they happen to occur around Christmas - like Die Hard.
Richard Maurer
2021-12-25 00:06:25 +0000 UTCAll that data and still not a Christmas movie. Sad............ :)
Richard Maurer
2021-12-24 23:56:59 +0000 UTCLive Free or Die Hard was the fourth movie. Die Hard, Die Hard 2: Die Harder, Die Hard with a Vengeance (Jeremy Irons is the villain, Samuel L. Jackson is a major role), and then Live Free or Die Hard.
Friendly Trumpet
2021-12-24 23:40:22 +0000 UTCIf it hadn’t been recommended or if it’s has it needs a second. You really should watch RED (2010) , besides die hard 3 “Live Free or Die Hard” (2007) it’s is one of my favorite Bruce Willis movie ever made.
Christopher Garland
2021-12-23 20:32:46 +0000 UTCYou should react to the movie PCU starring Jeremy Piven. It was directed by Die Hard's very own Hart Bochner (Harry Ellis)!
Robb Hollen
2021-12-23 19:03:10 +0000 UTCI started a Holiday tradition about 10 years ago, where I wrap all my presents on Christmas Eve, and watch Die Hard on repeat while drinking several bottles of red wine (however many viewings/bottles it takes). This year I’ll have some awesome commentary! Stoked! Happy Holidays to y’all! And to those that have a tough time during this season, you’re not alone.

2021-12-23 17:09:31 +0000 UTCHaha i love American sass, and Bruce carries it well. The loveable scoundrel, the reluctant hero, the rogue.
Cripkie
2021-12-23 11:33:12 +0000 UTCWow Allen Rickmen can play a sociopath perfectly. Hans cold indifference for anything but money is chilling.
Cripkie
2021-12-23 10:57:03 +0000 UTCnice one. It's horrible the way your country treats its poor. For a country full of religious people America seems to have a very contradictoy Darwinistic/ survival of the fittest attitude.
Cripkie
2021-12-23 10:25:18 +0000 UTCman this christmas movie debate is heating up lol my little addition is to ask "ok well then what IS a christmas movie?" because theme/decoration/plot inclusion/soundtrack wise, this movie hits all the marks :)
Shaun
2021-12-23 09:03:13 +0000 UTC100% Growing up, I watched The Terminator when I was VERY young. I was three or so when I first watched the movie. lmao, I remember going into my first surgery (dorsal rhizotomy) with my Terminator action figure. Dude was so cool! xD It was just the exoskeleton, but I fucking loved it. Anyway though, yeah, I watched The Terminator at that age. Few years later I watched AND FELL IN LOVE WITH Terminator 2: Judgement Day. As a kid, it blew me away how cool it was. The action scenes are so damn thrilling! If she reacts to T2, I HOPE that she reacts to The Terminator first. As an adult, I feel that it's the better movie.

Natalie Gold
2021-12-21 16:14:51 +0000 UTC"No one can tell me Die Hard isn't a Christmas movie!" - Die Hard isn't a Christmas movie. There are movies that happen to take place during Christmas, like Die Hard, and there are movies that are about Christmas, like A Christmas Story. In fact, Krampus and Silent Night, Deadly Night are more Christmas movies than Die Hard.
Richard Maurer
2021-12-21 14:05:22 +0000 UTCAre you in the U.S? I'm guessing it's not available on Disney plus in the US because I don't see it on Disney plus.
Lisa Tosti
2021-12-21 04:42:48 +0000 UTCThink it might only be an Aussie thing but yeah most of the 20th century fox stuff is on the 13 dollar disney+ subscription even Logan is on there.
Adam Stanley
2021-12-21 04:16:19 +0000 UTCDon't you have Disney+! Thats what I'm watching it on. I'm excited to finally watch this movie and see what Jake Peralta has been taking about all these years! It's fun to watch a new movie with someone who has seen it before as well sometimes bc they point out things you may not have noticed! I can't wait to see Alan Rickman
Julia
2021-12-20 23:48:38 +0000 UTCROTFLMAO when Natalie said "Jesus Lord Almighty!" Isn't Nat Jewish?
Neo Geo
2021-12-20 20:16:44 +0000 UTCI do think Terminator 2 might change your mind on best action movie whenever we watch it.
Bartman
2021-12-20 16:56:24 +0000 UTCRecommend: Recommend- (Maybe include these in a poll). Action- Speed Children of Men The book of Eli Dark-man (1990) The Running man Comedy- Tropic Thunder Horror- Quiet Place 2 The Fly(1996)
Marcus Powell
2021-12-20 14:40:06 +0000 UTCStuff Natalie needs to watch: the Netflix Daredevil series, and the 5 Sony Spider-Man movies.
Joe Blankenship
2021-12-20 03:00:03 +0000 UTCAlso the fact that he saw Hans's face earlier in the movie through the ceiling of the elevator when they were looking at the body
Danishprince
2021-12-19 20:29:47 +0000 UTCDon't know if anyone else has mentioned this, but one of the ways John suspects "Bill Clay" is not who he says he is that he holds the cigarette he offers him between his thumb and index finger, just like most Europeans do (apparently) whereas most Americans hold them between the index and middle finger, just like John. PLUS there was supposed to be another clue about all the robbers having the same wristwatch, but it was cut.
Keith Jacobsen
2021-12-19 12:04:15 +0000 UTCHis official full name is Harry Ellis though, so Nat must have seen it somewhere, maybe in the subtitles. Does seem strange that everyone in the movie calls him by his surname 🤔
Darryl Low
2021-12-19 09:10:14 +0000 UTCOmg when Powell crashed his car and you said "His pastries!!" I literalolled!
Jay Robert
2021-12-19 08:36:40 +0000 UTCI was wondering if she'd ever catch that the coke-sniffing douchebag was called Ellis, not Harry.
Joe Blankenship
2021-12-19 05:38:02 +0000 UTCIt is gonna be a Merry Christmas since we get your Die Hard reaction!! Thank you! I like how you pointed out all the little things in the writing that make this such a great movie. One of my top 3 movies all-time!
Al Baughman
2021-12-19 05:37:26 +0000 UTCThis bit of trivia is the 80s equivalent to the Two Towers trivia about Aragorn kicking the helmet and breaking his toe...
Joits
2021-12-19 05:26:28 +0000 UTCThis movie saved 20th Century Fox.
James M
2021-12-19 04:47:24 +0000 UTCMy favorite little bits of trivia for this film is the Alan Rickman drop. One of the reasons his look of surprise is so genuine is that the stunt crew told him they'd drop him on three, and they dropped him on two instead. The surprise is real. :-)
Joel Palenychka
2021-12-19 04:04:58 +0000 UTCYes this is my favorite Christmas movie!!
JackRan only if JackChased
2021-12-19 03:33:43 +0000 UTCThere are two kinds of people in the world. Those that think Die Hard is a Christmas movie, and those who are wrong.
Ron Hiler
2021-12-19 00:05:29 +0000 UTCDie hard is a fun movie. I'll never forget make fists with your toes. Does it work, I don't know because I'm not a flyer.
Sean
2021-12-18 23:58:10 +0000 UTCIt's a European stereotype
Gavin Day
2021-12-18 16:19:35 +0000 UTCAlso, "Ode To Joy", by Ludwig my boy, aka Beethoven; can apparently be used as the musical score to damn near anything, from "Die Hard" to "A Clockwork Orange". And the man wrote it after losing his hearing. Not for the channel but a movie I highly recommend if you ever get the chance is "Immortal Beloved", a biopic with Gary Oldman as Ludwig Van...
Joe D. MacGuffinstuff
2021-12-18 09:07:46 +0000 UTCVery fun reaction Nat! Fun Fact: Allegedly, the Beretta 92F that John carries is the same one that Riggs carries in Lethal Weapon, same prop. I wonder if you'll do Terminator 1 and 2 at some point...?
Keith Jacobsen
2021-12-18 08:28:02 +0000 UTCI couldn't have put it better! Thank you Natalie. :)
Logan Kerlee
2021-12-18 07:59:54 +0000 UTCOh my gosh!! This is my FAVORITE Christmas movie! Every year for the past 13 or 14 years I've watched this. It ranks up there among my all time faves. :D Thank you so much everybody for voting for this one! Ya'll picked the right movie. :) <3
Logan Kerlee
2021-12-18 07:58:28 +0000 UTCOh yeah! After Chernobyl, this one is gonna be fun!!
Marty McGee
2021-12-18 06:54:34 +0000 UTCDie Hard is a Harry Potter movie. Bruce Willis is sneaking around in a tower trying to avoid being caught by Alan Rickman.
Michael G. Munz
2021-12-18 06:10:28 +0000 UTCIt's funny, I've seen this movie more times than I can count, but I never really noticed the whole sweater trend before. :D
Michael G. Munz
2021-12-18 06:08:04 +0000 UTCI actually saw a video about "Is this a Christmas movie?" last year. One of the metrix used was number of Christmas references and it scored higher than several other "classic" Christmas movies. I clearly don't remember all the details of that video, but it scored really high in every category used. Basically it's the most Christmassy of Christmas movies. Also, yeah, it's one of the best written movies I've seen. Up there with Scott Pilgrim VS The World. Also, also, you should watch #3 next year... I guess you can watch #2 with us first if you want, but for me it's the least original and thus the least interesting of the whole series.
Kevin Bartelen
2021-12-18 05:58:47 +0000 UTCGreat watching this with you, Nat! Merry Christmas.
khaliqtessi
2021-12-18 05:14:34 +0000 UTCNormally, I watch this around Xmas time anyway. Have done so since '88 when I was a movie theater asst manager. Was an absolute pleasure to watch it with your video this time around. Will save this for next year. Too much fun !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy Holidays! Yippie Kai Yai Mutherfukah!
Ortizmo2000
2021-12-18 05:12:17 +0000 UTCFor me what makes this a Christmas movie is that music when the vault opens.
Garrick Smalley
2021-12-18 04:09:28 +0000 UTCIt's an LA Christmas movie. I still crack up when they mention McClain's cop buddy retired to POMONA, like, by choice?? Also, I love that bit of trivia, that Alan Rickman's reaction at falling was genuine because they told him "On three: one, two," and then they dropped him 🤣 This was a really fun reaction and the fund raiser link which must be coming with the YT edit is a really cool thing, much appreciated Nat, I actually do worry about some of these people out here, but especially the homeless people this last week when the temps dropped, us Californians aren't used to it and I know some people had some rough nights on the streets. A big thanks for bringing us some Holiday cheer and for helping some of the forgotten folks out there 💛
Joe D. MacGuffinstuff
2021-12-18 03:55:10 +0000 UTCBruce Willis himself said Die Hard is NOT a Christmas movie. He's wrong of course but what else is new
The Golgothan
2021-12-18 03:37:09 +0000 UTCKrampus ROCKS!
This_Jedi_crafts
2021-12-18 03:32:50 +0000 UTCThe thing I like about the whole "Is it or is it not a Christmas movie" debate is that Die Hard sits smack dab on the line between, that it caters to both views equally. What I find uninteresting about this time of year is that EVERYONE watches the exact same Christmas movies over and over again and on every channel and platform. For just once - it would be nice to see somebody - ANYBODY - watch some of the lesser recognizable Christmas movies like Krampus, A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas or Batman Returns. Maybe Nat, if you're reading this far, keep titles like these in the back of your mind for next year...be that one reactioner that breaks the mold set by every other reaction channel about which Christmas movies to watch ;) As always, loved your reaction regardless; just sayin :D
Mike Battams
2021-12-18 03:31:45 +0000 UTCGlad I finally watched this film (or watched Nat react to it) - so much fun. And now I have more info as all the YouTubers are saying that the final episode of a certain Marvel series (on Disney +) will be paying tribute to Die Hard. So NOW I'll be fully equipped to enjoy any nods or homage to Die Hard! Thanks for a great reaction!
This_Jedi_crafts
2021-12-18 03:11:03 +0000 UTCnah needs more than that, heh.
BJ Stephens
2021-12-18 02:12:15 +0000 UTCRe the gun thing yes as long as you told them and had paperwork.
Garrick Smalley
2021-12-18 02:06:48 +0000 UTC"Yes, this is a Christmas movie. Fight me." This is why we love you.

Ben Wheeler
2021-12-18 00:25:58 +0000 UTCI really want to see her reaction to Long Kiss Goodnight, another great Christmas action movie!
David Sumner
2021-12-17 23:41:27 +0000 UTCDie Hard 2: Die Harder is also a Christmas movie and that one has snow!
David Sumner
2021-12-17 23:40:47 +0000 UTCYou should watch THE MOVIES THAT MADE US episode on Netflix with us here so we can experience you learning that mad true story behind hte making of this classic
Jason Dolan
2021-12-17 23:13:43 +0000 UTCSo since Die Hard was released in December here in Denmark it's a christmas movie, got ya
Danishprince
2021-12-17 21:36:23 +0000 UTCI'll fight you. I disagree with everyone! It's a Western! Why? Because he references Roy Rogers and the most famous line is Yippee Kay Yay and it has gunfights between good guys and bad guys. See I can stretch it to mean that too. It's an action movie with Christmas references. Christmas movies aren't released in July folks. Nonetheless I love it and if it reminds you of Christmas and you want to watch it in December go for it.
It Hurt A Lot
2021-12-17 21:28:04 +0000 UTCI was JUST thinking yesterday about the crazy McTiernan Hat Trick of Predator, Die Hard, and Red October. Holy hell that's an insane run of movies to make IN A ROW.
NotlobParrot
2021-12-17 21:03:39 +0000 UTCBetween this, Predator, and The Hunt for Red October (Red October technically being 1990, and an absolute must for a future reaction if you haven't seen it), John McTiernan was easily one of the best directors of the 80's. As to your question about the building, the exterior shots of "Nakatomi Tower" were all shot on location at Fox Plaza in LA. The music is a mix of original music from Michael Kamen, variations of Beethoven's 9th, and some various Christmas tunes mixed in here and there. Not to mention Hanz humming the Beethoven piece, and Bruce Willis whistling Jingle Bells on his way down the hall.
Brian Jones
2021-12-17 20:17:13 +0000 UTCOMG I will be calling Hart Bochner's character "Harry Ellis" from now on. 😂❤️️ New Headcanon
NotlobParrot
2021-12-17 20:15:47 +0000 UTCIf it hadn't been Die Hard it had been another christmas movie so not wasted in any way lol
Danishprince
2021-12-17 20:08:14 +0000 UTCI think this might just be one of my favourite reactions you've done! Seeing you so happy and joyful was just a perfect christmas moment :D
Danishprince
2021-12-17 20:07:36 +0000 UTC100% a christmas movie though
Danishprince
2021-12-17 20:06:52 +0000 UTCNot a Christmas movie, but fun and entertaining. Glad you did it.
Robert Reichle
2021-12-17 19:54:18 +0000 UTCFun Fact: They dropped Alan Rickman on 2 when he did the plunge to get a genuine reaction from him.
Edward Houston
2021-12-17 19:50:05 +0000 UTCThey are part of Disney + Star, which has all the more adult-orientated content, and since Disney took over Fox, they are putting a lot of their movies on there now.
Darryl Low
2021-12-17 19:49:12 +0000 UTCThanks for this great and funny moment Nat! Always a pleasure to see you so happy and laughing like that in front of a film 😄 Never hesitate to do more stuff like that, even if it's not a first time reaction 😃 I can't wait for the next content! 💛 I hope you're fine, take care, be safe and stay golden!
Calo Grsf
2021-12-17 19:48:11 +0000 UTCI like to call Die Hard a Christmas movie as a joke. Unlike Gremlins, which has a sincere message about Christmas safety, Die Hard only has a veneer of Christmas.
Sean
2021-12-17 19:14:50 +0000 UTCAwwwww, my dang blu-ray disc froze at about 1:41:?? so I didn't finish with you. Up to this point I kept saying, "Wait... How many times have you seen this? You forgot that? Your favorite Christmas movie and you forgot that?" Sorry that I was teasing you behind your back, Natalie. I do love your reactions, even when it's something you've seen. In a few days I'll have a copy of Chernobyl to watch with you. Hope it wasn't too rough on you. Stay Golden!
MertzRocks
2021-12-17 19:01:38 +0000 UTCI love watching poeple react to Die Hard, only if it's a first time reaction. I was really looking forward to continue the journey of the X-men movies. :D
DarkJokester
2021-12-17 18:09:14 +0000 UTCDie Hard changed the face of all action movies after it. You know a movie made a big impact when future movies use it as a way to describe themselves. "Die Hard on a bus." "Die Hard on a plane." etc. It also changed Bruce Willis' career forever. He was a relative unknown before it, and moreso known for comedy. He was so unknown, he was not the studios' first (or 10th) pick for the role and they wanted to actually keep his face off of the movie posters. As for the scar on his arm, it's real. It's from a surgery from when he was a teenager.
Jomero
2021-12-17 17:59:34 +0000 UTCOoh, this is gonna be hella fun. *grabs drink* *grabs snack*
Michael Cruse
2021-12-17 17:59:19 +0000 UTCAll the die hard films are on Disney+. Is that new
ButtyOh
2021-12-17 17:51:25 +0000 UTCCouldn't agree more, I mean if you wanna watch it for Christmas, that's great, but it's basically the opposite of a Christmas movie, that just happens to be set on Christmas, and yeah I've seen the checklist people use to justify it, and it's all coincidental or superficial with no real merit. IMO this movie was labeled a "Christmas Movie" by people, mostly guys who either didn't want to watch actual Christmas movies, or couldn't admit they liked the more emotional. heartfelt theme of actual true Christmas movies. But in the end, people are entitled to their opinions...no matter how wrong they may be ;) Anyway Merry Christmas everyone.
BJ Stephens
2021-12-17 17:43:37 +0000 UTCA good Christmas movie needs hope, a redeemable character, family, and an uplifting ending….Die Hard checks all the boxes 😆
Charlie Keeler
2021-12-17 17:34:44 +0000 UTCDie Hard is a fun movie to watch in the Christmas season because it is set at Christmas. But it is not a Christmas movie. None of the story beats or themes have much to do with Christmas. I'll die on this hill.
Robert C
2021-12-17 17:32:24 +0000 UTCSo a wasted slot when we could've had DoFP huh........neat......

Randee Carreno
2021-12-17 17:11:41 +0000 UTCI thought it would be It's a Wonderful Life, but I can watch Die Hard anytime. Actually watched it a few days ago. Don't mind watching again. You're alright, Argyle.

2021-12-17 17:03:36 +0000 UTCGreat end to the day after being out all afternoon seeing the new spiderman film No spoilers obviously, but gotta be one of my favourite films of 2021. And probably my second favourite spidey film

Charlie Keeler
2021-12-17 17:02:11 +0000 UTCWelcome to the party pals! Super excited to be watching this classic with you Nat. Still holding a grudge against us after a year 😂 ha ha I think we all knew you were itching to watch this movie. Die Hard's screenplay was initially based on a novel that was the sequel to the 1968 film titled The Detective starring Frank Sinatra. The studio had to offer the role to Sinatra as a contractual obligation. He saw sense and turned it down. They then beefed up the action and looked for a new star. Love the score by Michael Kamen, who also scored Lethal Weapon, and at the end when Al pulls his gun out, they used a cue from Aliens! Thanks for an awesome festive Friday Feature, and sorry we made you wait a year to watch it Nat, and thanks for all your amazing work this week. Have a great weekend, and if this is your idea of Christmas Nat, we definitely have to be here for New Years 💛
