Next time someone gives you trouble for calling Die Hard a Christmas movie (and it is), go even further and tell them it's a romance first and foremost (and it is).

Yup. Hans Gruber's final scene... John's covered in blood, two bullets left. You've heard Run DMC, you've seen air duct rambles, caught plenty of great one liners. "Now I have a machine gun. Ho. Ho. Ho." Etc. etc.
But under all that action, all those stories of steel and glass and adventure, all the bare feet and bonding over walkie talkies, what seals Hans' fate?
It's the old F U to Ellis. It's the Rolex off his wife's wrist. A reclaiming of his heart. A 100% killer motif. It's a love story.
