“To this day, that first screening I had of Die Hard at the AFCO Center Cinema is still one of the greatest screenings I've ever had for a movie in my life — one of those screenings that you keep going to movies hoping to repeat. What was so great about Die Hard is you didn't know walking into it that it was going to be that good. It just seemed like a Bruce Willis action film, and then it's just so drastically better than that.”
