McClanefest

Yippee ki-yay, movie watchers.

Overview

Three decades ago, a New York City cop just wanted to spend Christmas in Los Angeles with his estranged wife. He arrived at Nakatomi Plaza with little else on his mind — but before the night was out, he'd be crawling around in vents, battling German terrorists, and proving that absolutely no one messes with John McClane and his loved ones.

Of course, that's the plot to Die Hard. With the action classic turning 30 this year, you'd better believe that the Ritz Cinema is celebrating. On Friday, November 23, it's hosting McClanefest, which will screen the first three films in the franchise in one huge marathon.

Even better — Die Hard, Die Hard 2: Die Harder and Die Hard with a Vengeance will all screen in glorious 35mm, so you'll be able to see every inch of their explosive excellence (and plenty of Bruce Willis doing his thing in a white singlet, too). Tickets cost $25 (or $20 for cinema members), and it all kicks off at 7pm and runs until after 2am.

If you're thinking "aren't there five films in the series?", well, you're right. But no one wants to revisit the awful (and awfully titled) Live Free or Die Hard and A Good Day to Die Hard.
