Cinema Winehouse in Bangkok will be screening some festive films this month. The classic action movie Die Hard (which takes place on Christmas Eve) will be shown on 21st December. It’s a Wonderful Life, arguably the ultimate Christmas film, will be screened on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
Die Hard has influenced most action movies of the past three decades, to the extent that they’re pitched as ‘Die Hard on a...’ (Speed, for example, is Die Hard on a bus.) It’s a Wonderful Life has become a Christmas tradition, though this is largely because its copyright was not renewed, so it could be shown on television every year royalty-free.
