Sounds like a title for the Crows next Premiership.
Christmas is a plot point as to the reason why the thieves take over Nakatomi Plaza its not the theme of the movie.

Its been an argument ive had for years. either you disagree or you are right!
I dunno man. It's widely regarded to be one of the best christmas movies. Just the other day my partner said "which christmas movie should we watch" and I defaulted to Die Hard like it was muscle memory.
because you like action movies more than christmas movies lol. its good. Arguably home alone isnt really a christmas movie either of you follow the same logic as die hard. I watched die hard last week. lol

If you love car chases, random violence, large explosions, little green men, intergalactic space travel...
This may not be the movie for you

Car chases are the most boring thing in the world. Well, maybe yachting, but any chase in a movie is generally just a filler. Except Blues Brothers for hilarity and then The Other Guys as it provided context. Otherwise chase scenes are almost always boring filler.

I remember hearing about Her, but havent watched it. Seemed like an out there premise in 2013. Now, not so much.
It's really good and you're right, not really far fetched anymore.
I don't mind that list, but it's a very hard list to make. The person that made that likes arthouse for sure.

I saw Anora. Pretty good! Very funny and if you like watching strippers without the guilt, it's for you.
Also saw 'No other land'. Pretty confronting doco about Palestine/Israel the years before Hamas went nuts. Recommend it
