THEJOURNAL.IE READERS WERE on the right side of history last year when, after a fierce debate, a poll at the end of our debate room definitively concluded that Die Hard is in fact a Christmas movie.
It’s a staple of our festive TV schedules and we thought we’d test your knowledge of this beloved Christmas film.
Off you go…

Both special agents were Johnson….No relation
@Pat Dowdall: I thought one was agent Johnson and the other Special Agent Johnson.
@Bunny Johnson: yes
@Bill Clay: and no relation.
@Pat Dowdall: one was just Agent Johnson
Best line: “Jesus Christ lady, does it sound like I’m ordering a f^#king pizza!?”
10/10 – I’d have been horrified if I got less :)
@Bill Clay: well done Hans. Your American accent was very convincing
“The New Provo Front” “Who?” “I read about them in Time…”
9/10. Went for Gary Cooper. Happy out
@Bunny Johnson: me too
@Bunny Johnson: error in the quiz I reckon, it happens here
Greatest Christmas film ever
Alan Rickman, best baddie ever,rip Mr rickman
Die Hard is NOT a Christmas film, and it never has or will be.
@Dan Skelton: you are ruining christmas with your naysaying anti christmas film propaganda, you know that?
@Dan Skelton: It
@Dan Skelton: Exactly…It is just a film that is set during Christmas time but the plot has nothing to do with Christmas. How people get confused with this I’ll never know.
Christmas movies that deal with Christmas themes and set during Christmas
-Miracle on 34th Street
-Love Actually
-It’s a wonderful life
NOT Christmas movies
-Die Hard
-E.T
-Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory
@Dan Skelton: You have no joy in your soul
@Ben Jamen: Wrong. the whole plot is about a man trying to spend Christmas with his family…
@Dan Skelton: Be quiet Dan. Course it is.
@Ben Jamen: the other 2 you mentioned have noting to do with Xmas just that there on Xmas tv every year, die hard Is set during Xmas eve and is the story of a man trying to get his family back together, there just so happens to be a terrorists situation in his wife’s workplace , also her name is Holly
The New Provo Front !! Wait for brexit and a hard border and there will be little new about the provos .
7/10 disappointing since I am full Yankee doodle American who sees the hard dying every Weihnachten, darn it is raining dogs and cats outside again.
@bunny Johnson….. could be, dammit.
Thanks for the advice…..
9/10!
‘What’s this jokers real name ‘ classic bravo . Got a chuckle out if that
