Peg Boggs (Dianne Wiest<\/strong><\/a>) is a suburban housewife who is determined to be Avon\u2019s best regional saleswoman. That\u2019s why she\u2019s willing to go where others won\u2019t, like the strange decrepit mansion that rests on a hill overlooking the town. She\u2019s shocked to discover that someone still lives there \u2014 it\u2019s Edward Scissorhands (Johnny Depp<\/strong><\/a>), a man-made creature with pale skin, a funky hairdo, and, well, scissors for hands.

\n Sigourney Weaver and Bill Murray in Ghostbusters.<\/span> Everett\/Columbia<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nRotten Tomatoes: 95 percent<\/p>\n
New York City in the 1980s is a weird place, but it\u2019s never been this<\/em> weird. Ghosts are stalking the New York City Public Library, while high-priced hotels are being terrorized by slime-spewing monsters. The police can\u2019t handle these threats, so who is the public gonna call? The Ghostbusters, of course. Led by Peter Venkman (Murray), this ragtag team of geeky scientists is humanity\u2019s best defenders against a growing supernatural threat. The demonic god Gozer (Slavitza Jovan<\/strong>) wants to invade our dimension, and it chooses classical musician Dana (Sigourney Weaver<\/strong><\/a>) and dorky accountant Louis (Rick Moranis<\/strong><\/a>) as its human vessels. Can the Ghostbusters bust the ultimate ghost of them all?<\/p>\nGhostbusters<\/em> wasn\u2019t just one of 1984\u2019s biggest hits; it also invented an entirely new subgenre, the sci-fi comedy film. Many have tried to imitate its success, but no film has quite equalled it, not even Ghostbusters 2<\/em> or the two reboots in 2016 and 2021, respectively. One big reason why is the original hasn\u2019t aged a bit \u2014 it\u2019s still as fresh and funny as ever, and the special effects and makeup are still impressive. Murray absolutely rules as the sarcastic wiseass Venkman, and Weaver shows she\u2019s willing to bark like a dog (literally!) to get a well-deserved laugh.<\/p>\n\n\n\t![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/themes\/us-weekly\/assets\/img\/newsletter-bg-narrow.jpg\")

John McClane (Bruce Willis<\/strong><\/a>) has a love-hate relationship with Christmas \u2014 well, mostly the latter. It was only two years ago that he had to save his wife and her coworkers from terrorists in a L.A. skyscraper. Now stuck at Washington Dulles International Airport during the holidays, he can\u2019t help but be dragged into another incident that will leave him bruised and bloody by the end of it \u2014 if he\u2019s still alive, that is. When a team of former military members hacks the airport\u2019s communications and landing systems, they jeopardize flights that have low fuel, risking crashes. One of those planes has Holly (Bonnie Bedelia<\/strong>), John\u2019s estranged wife, on it, so it\u2019s even more imperative to John that he stop the terrorists from succeeding.<\/p>\nThe original Die Hard<\/em> is recognized as an action movie classic, as well as a holiday film staple<\/a>, but Die Hard 2<\/em> is just as good, if not just a little better. The airport setting dramatically ups the stakes, with multiple planes circling above in danger of running out of fuel and crashing at any moment. The action is also amped up, with John engaging in multiple gunfights and bare-knuckle brawls that will leave you breathless. The sequel also retains the original\u2019s sense of humor, with Willis quipping his way through the film like a seasoned pro.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
