Die Hard and Home Alone are the SAME MOVIE!

First of all, they both take place during Christmas, of course.

Secondly, both lead characters are left by themselves.

Thirdly, both have our lead characters combating an invading force i.e. Hans Gruber and his goons, The Wet Bandits through creative means i.e. strapping a computer to a chair with an explosive and sending it down an elevator shaft or rigging an iron to fall down a laundry shoot.

They’re both about “getting back their families or to their families”.

They both use witty catch phrases like “Yippee Ki Yay, motherfucker” and “Keep the change you filthy animal”.

Significant plot points surround the fact that the electricity is cut off.

And in the end, John McClane’s “partner” the cop Sgt. Al Powell (spoiler) helps him get rid of the bad guy and Kevin McCallister’s “partner” the old man next door (spoiler) helps him get rid of the bad guys.
