Die Hard (1988 John McTiernan)

From producer Joel Silver a year after Lethal Weapon, with which is shares some similarities, namely the Christmas setting, white cop-black cop partnership and composer Michael Kamen, who works in Beethoven's Ninth presumably as a nod to the German team of - what would you call them? - terrorist-burglars. Also The Towering Inferno springs to mind.

I guess Alan Rickman isn't in the sequel, then. With Reginald VelJohnson, Bonny Bedelia, Paul Gleason, De'voreaux White, William Atherton. Photographed by Jan de Bont, edited by John Link and Frank Urioste.
