Fair enough, although I wouldn't excactly say that the Die Hard movies have excellent scripts (terrorists plan to spread death and destruction and make a lot of money. John McClane miraculously saves the day each time). Don't get me wrong, I think they're good, too, especially the first one. But that's the beauty about 80's action movies, they don't need good scripts, they just need a vigilante cop/ex-marine/enraged father and a whole lot of killing. That's what makes them shine, and that's what makes Die Hard shine.
Maybe you just haven't watched a lot of 80's action movies?
I refuse to believe you like Demolition Man and not Terminator or Commando.
