Competition CLOSED: Events - Die Hard @ Screen Cinema

***COMPETITION CLOSED. WINNER HAS BEEN CONTACTED*** Screen Cinema on D’Olier Street are kicking off their Action Season with a screening of Die Hard on this coming Monday night at 20.20. We don’t really have anything to say about it other than Yippee-Ki-Yay Mother F’kers!! It’s this on the big screen: Must-see action, Bruce Willis, airport setting (who doesn’t love airports?) and shoulder pads. What more do you need? If, like us, you’re under the age of 40 then chances are you didn’t catch it the first time around. So, if you’re up for a trip to 1988, see you on Monday night. But wait, as they say, there’s more. The lovely people at Screen have given us a pair of tickets to give away. So if you’d like to join us for some popcorn and Bruce Willis action (you don’t actually have to sit with us) then just leave a comment … There’s more

Then I wondered if I should just list my favourites, the ones I remember growing up with, and then suffer the ire of the readers as they chastise and criticise my inclusion of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off as the greatest film of the era. So…bring it on bitches. Here’s my favourite movies from the 80s. Darren’s Top … There’s more
