I saw that “People” Magazine came out with a list of the greatest Christmas movie villains of all-time, but that’s not what I want to talk about. What I want to address is that Hans Gruber from “Die Hard” came in at #5. “Die Hard” isn’t a Christmas movie, Bruce Willis said it himself! OK, rant over....lol
Here the Top 10 from “People” Magazine:
1. Mr. Potter (Lionel Barrymore) from “It’s a Wonderful Life”. (Lionel is Drew Barrymore’s great uncle.)
2. Oogie Boogie from “The Nightmare Before Christmas”
3. Neighborhood bully Scut Farkus from “A Christmas Story”
4. Comet and the Abominable Snow Monster from “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer”
5. Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman) from “Die Hard”
6. Ted Maltin (Phil Hartman) from “Jingle All the Way”
7. Harry and Marv (Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern) from “Home Alone”
8. The Grinch (Jim Carrey) from “How the Grinch Stole Christmas”
9. Ebenezer Scrooge (George C. Scott) from the 1984 TV movie “A Christmas Carol”
10. Jack Frost (Martin Short) from “The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause”
