I’ve always enjoyed this confrontation from 1990’s Die Hard 2.
I think it accurately reflects how most cops and security people would react to having John McClane in their town (trouble does tend to follow him!) and both Bruce Willis and Dennis Franz seem to be having fun trying to irritate each other.

In honor of Kurt Russell’s birthday, I thought I would share one of my favorite podcasts with you. Most of the time Nick and Ray talk about Charles Bronson, but every so often they go outside of Bronson. Their episode on the Kurt Russell film SOLDIER is excellent. It’s a great way to celebrate one of the most popular actors of my lifetime.
Happy Birthday, Kurt, and enjoy my friends!
From 1982’s The Thing, here is one of the greatest endings in the history of horror. Kurt Russell and Keith David play two characters who might be the final survivors of the The Thing’s rampage or who might just be one human talking to one alien. With nothing to do but wait for the inevitable, the two of them share a drink and prepare to freeze.
The scene features great acting from Russell and David and great direction from John Carpenter. It’s one of those endings that you will never forget.
