Why Die Hard is on my top 10?

Die Hard is the definitive action film of all time. Every element in the film to me was close to perfect. The hero is afraid to die, and the villain is smart and you respect him. At times you want the villain to win. John McClane became a hero that every guy can relate to, which helps draw the auidience into the story. Many films have tried to copy what was there, but they seem to miss out on what director John McTeirnan put onto film. McTiernan Himself couldn't recapture it with Die Hard 3.

Best Screenplay?

There is no way to choose the best, but Good Will Hunting is one that inspired me to write past my first screenplay.
