Die Hard

Fri. 13 December 2024 — Tue. 24 December 2024

It's that time of year again... where friends, families and strangers on the internet argue over whether Die Hard is a Christmas film. Seeing John McClane take on Hans Gruber at this time of year is almost as much of a tradition as Christmas itself.

Perfect Days

Net picks

We know December can be a tricky time of year around what can be expected for Christmas. So we've assembled some free online viewing options that don't come with the cost of a trip out to the cinema, or the pressure of company.

1950, Mexico City. An American ex-pat leads a solitary life, until a new arrival gives new value to intimate relationships. A lush adaptation of the William S. Burroughs novel by Luca Guadagnino (Call Me By Your Name) with a mesmerising Daniel Craig.
