I've always heard they nixed the idea of the time travel fridge since they didn't want kids playing in abandoned fridges and locking themselves in.

@frofoodie7763 Год назад

How'd you hear that?

@mbryson2899 Год назад

@@frofoodie7763 I've seen the reference made a couple of times online myself.

@lorensteinman8486 Год назад

This is peak RU-vid. List Show doing cinema facts? It's like you flossed my brain for ideas. Love it, y'all. You're the best, Erin! P.S. I watch the first two Die Hard movies every Christmas 🎄🚓🏢

@daveid7247 Год назад

Young Frankenstein. Lost count how many times I've rewatched it. You can watch YF a dozen times and pick up little things you've missed in previous viewings. It adds to how talented Mel Brooks and the entire cast were.

@booknerdlover3675 Год назад

Labyrinth and The Princess Bride are my all time favorite movies!

@WilyWillyT Год назад

Always have to say my favorite film is "Empire of the Sun"

@stephaniehight2771 Год назад

The Princess Bride is my favorite movie ever.

@hugovallarta Год назад

Back to the Future is a perfect movie hands down. But Ferris Bueller's Day Off has to be my favorite. The perfect movie at a perfect age for me.

@kenbrown2808 Год назад

here's your titanic fact: while people argue that the door could have supported both of them, it actually had to be enlarged and have bouyancy added just to allow it to support one person.

@jesst235 Год назад

Big Trouble In Little China has been one of my favourites since I was a kid.

@jamzst Год назад

During the filming of the original 1968 'Planet of the Apes' the first day of shooting on the Ape City set when it was time for the first meal break it was announced and the extras in full make-up and costume headed for the caterer set up. Curiously chimpanzees grouped together, gorillas were together and orangutans stayed together. They were not told to do so, they just did 😄.

@michelleapplegate9484 Год назад

Ok so I don’t think of Die Hard as a Christmas movie but I watch it every year in December, along with Lethal Weapon and Gremlins😂. My favorite movie is 1980 ‘s The Changeling, with George C Scott and Melvyn Douglas. Give me a good ghost story any day.

@lorneoliver3632 Год назад

I argue that not only is Die Hard a Christmas movie but so is Lethal Weapon. In a discussion with my wife I asked her to explain to me why The Christmas Story is a Christmas movie. Every point she made I replied with, same as Die Hard.

@toddboughn5168 Год назад

I'd argue that Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is also a Christmas movie.

@kenbrown2808 Год назад

John McClane didn't shoot his eye out.

@Bronwen597 Год назад

The Princess Bride is one I always enjoy. Asssss youuuuu wishshshhsh!!!!

@geoffroi-le-Hook Год назад

Die Hard was re-released to theaters the following Christmas season

@MechWomanWarrior15 Год назад

Casablanca is my favorite film. But my mind is still turning somersaults trying to picture Frank Sinatra in Die Hard 🤣

@wendelynmusic Год назад

I have a 3 way tie for my favorite movie. 2001: A Space Odyssey, Bladerunner, and High Fidelity. Who doesn't love Top 5 Records?

@erinrising2799 Год назад

An Erin who loves movie trivia? There's two of us?! I have always had great difficulty choosing a favorite all time movie. My favorite for each decade would be 1920s: Metropolis, 1930s: King Kong, 1940s: Arsenic and Old Lace, 1950s: Some Like It Hot, 1960s: The Great Escape, 1970s: Young Frankenstein, 1980s: Who Framed Roger Rabbit, 1990s: Jurassic Park, 2000s: Lord of the Rings, 2010s: The Grand Budapest Hotel, and 2020's (so far at least) Everything Everywhere All at Once

@vylet2292 7 месяцев назад

Late to the game here but one of my favorites has always been Shawshank Redemption.

@Ahuka Год назад

My Dinner With Andre. A fantastic film.

@greypoet2 Год назад

Favorite movie? Tootsie with Dustin Hoffman.

@AveryMilieu Год назад

My mother had a horror of cross dressers (something about a "funny uncle" back in the 1920s when she was growing up) and I couldn't get her to watch Tootsie. I tried, she didn't get the reason it could be important... Later when Mrs Doubtfire (another favorite of mine in the genre with, Some Like It Hot) she wouldn't watch that either. Hoffman and Williams worked together in Hook (yet another movie I loved - Hoffman's costuming, the wigs and all) and I have always wondered if Hoffman convinced Williams to do something like Doubtfire just for the experience...

@patriciaaturner289 Год назад

Ladyhawke , Casablanca , Star Wars, Star Trek Wrath of Khan, Twister.

@kandipiatkowski8589 Год назад

Harry Potter, Kingsmen, Back to the Future, Bill and Ted, Spirited Away, To Wong Fu......just to name a few of my favorite movies.

@jphilb Год назад

Loved seeing Erin on a recent History Channel RU-vid video.

@jliller Год назад

I didn't realize Erin believed in ancient aliens.

@AveryMilieu Год назад

Favorite Movie of All Time? Baz Lehrman's Strictly Ballroom. Over a hundred viewings and I STILL cry at the end. (It got me through a Very Terrible Summer)

@dustcircle Год назад

Would love you to do Goodfellas -- my favorite film. And there is a lot of trivia about the story that I already know. :)

@peggywoods4327 Год назад

All time favorite movie(s): The Adventures of Robin Hood starring Errol Flynn, Young Frankenstein, Monty Python's Search for the Holy Grail, Galaxy Quest

@kevinogracia1615 Год назад

Always cool. Forget the cow bell... We need more theremin.

@Apophis324 Год назад

If a movie has a Christmas setting, it is a Christmas movie, even if it lacks the cookie cutter plot of movies that come to mind when we think of the genre. That doesn't mean you can only watch those movies during the weeks leading up to Christmas, naturally. My favourite movie of all time is a lesser known one I'm sure: Bridge to Terabithia. Coraline is a strong contender for second place ^^

@ellengutoskey2604 Год назад

thankful that at least one person is keeping the spirit of audrey hepburn's short bangs alive in the year of our lord 2022!!! inspired and going to get a matching haircut immediately

@user-jg6pi2si8v Месяц назад

My favourite movie is Schlindlers List but I also love Forrest Gump and Jurassic Park

@marguaritetherese3156 Год назад

Well now I need to know the Titanic fact too!

@murloczombie Год назад

My favorite movies are The Labyrinth, Dark crystal, The Limey and I know its cheesy but Tangled. Also Cannon ball run 2, Young Frankenstein and Blazing Saddles.

@rickseiden1 Год назад

Gates McFadden, as Cheryl McFadden, was the choreographer in Labyrinth.

@geoffroi-le-Hook Год назад

she was also a secretary in one of the Muppets movies

@leighpowell1062 Год назад

She's in Hunt for the red October as well

@mandiemoore3272 Год назад

Favorite movie of all time is completely impossible because I have favorites in different genres but they're pretty common favorites Fight Club Dogma Lion King Princess Bride and Sean of the Dead

@chancesureshot2718 Год назад

Having shown the movie posters referenced would have helped make this more interesting IMO

@koreanelvis Год назад

Personal #1 movie has got to be: The Boondock Saints!!

@mojosbigsticks Год назад

I Know Where I'm Going was shot in black and white as the producers couldn't get hold of any colour film.

@scotskinner4350 Год назад

The greatest movie of all time... "Raiders of the Lost Ark".

@jackzaccardi1896 Год назад

I miss John Green

@Linkous12 Год назад

Favorite movie would have to be Robocop.

@onceagainvideos Год назад

Favorite movie: "Being There".

@leighpowell1062 Год назад

Talking of Frank nearly being in Die Hard, I wonder which other actors where considered or turned down big roles

@lear1980 Год назад

I got a chance to drive a DeLorean back in 1986. A fridge on the back of a truck probably would have handled better. The DeLorean looked good but drove horribly.

@CrystalWilliamsoncoach Год назад

I was going to write an angry comment - you gypped us out of one fact! I'm glad I stayed past the end screens. PS YES Die Hard is an Xmas movie!

@matthewdrummond1340 Год назад

Richard Gere as John McClain 🤣

@flamshiz Год назад

the look of pure betrayal

@scotthodgins7975 Год назад

My only argument to Die Hard being a Christmas movie is: If that is the case, then so is Lethal Weapon a Christmas movie.

@sadetwizelve Год назад

And Batman Returns and The Long Kiss Goodnight….Hell,Batman Forever is a Halloween movie then lol NNNOOOOO,the holiday had nothing to do with the plots.

@latenighter1965 Год назад

If Die Hard is a Christmas movie then Gremlins is a Halloween Movie.

@illiteratemochi4150 Год назад

My favorite movie is A Silent Voice

@gregoryheim9781 Год назад

Die Hard is a Christmas movie.

@brianlehman710 Год назад

My Own Private Idaho was actually a remake (ripoff) of Orson Welles' Chimes at Midnight. That film was a mashup of the Falstaff character in all of the Shakespeare Henry plays. And it is faaaaar superior to MOPI.

@derekclark3442 5 месяцев назад

Bruce Willis is quoted saying die hard is not a Christmas movie is a mf Bruce Willis movie

@HazyWave1974 Год назад

Even Bruce has said it's not a Christmas movie. How is something teenagers were saying to just be edgy 34 years ago (and even before that about Lethal Weapon) still going on?

@alicedominguez9994 Год назад

Cause people are stupid

@Elmerstudd007 Год назад

Phantom of the Paradise

@sadetwizelve Год назад

Ok then,Batman Forever is a Halloween movie then -___-

@jordanbarrett4790 Год назад

She's beautiful

@JasonKreider-eq8kp 7 месяцев назад

Actually frank Sinatra was offered the role first in die hard they where under contract to ask him first

@dirtrider88 Год назад

diehard IS NOT a christmas movie. bruce willis (at some awards show) has said so himself

@lp-xl9ld Год назад

2001 A SPACE ODYSSEY Say no more.

@karlxmit Год назад

RDJ *is* Tony Stark

@MrNegativecreep07 Год назад

It is a Christmas movie because the fact it's Christmas is a key plot point, as opposed to a film that just takes place at that time of year.

@sadetwizelve Год назад

Why was the holiday important to the plot then? That’s like saying Batman Forever is a Halloween movie lol

@BellaxPalus Год назад

How does one get a fridge to 88 MPH if the truck breaks down?

@leighpowell1062 Год назад

Push it off a massive cliff

@RicardoMorenoAlmeida Год назад

Die Hard IS a Christmas movie and if you disagree, you're just wrong!

@shaneharrington3655 Год назад

Terminator 2. Greatest movie ever made

@erincutright7020 Год назад

Die Hard is 100% a christmas movie.

@wayneross3798 Год назад

Die hard being a Christmas movie is like pineapple on pizza, whatever makes you happy and stop being jerks about it

@theunspoke815 Год назад

My favorite movie hasn't been made yet!! It's a documentary on how we freed the North Koreans!!! 🤘😜🤘

@waynev.8200 Год назад

Die Hard is a Christmas movie. Full stop. I have several favorite movies. Top of the list are Casablanca and Joe vs. The Volcano. Yup. My tastes vary.
