Hostage wasn't bad, but not a classic like the original Die Hard.

Heard Sin City is good if you are a fan of comic books. It is supposedly done in funny colors to simulate the comic strip it is based on.

Sixth Sense is a classic, and Fifth Element and Unbreakable are good in their own ways.

You got any favorites?

Twelve Monkeys.

Sin City is good even if you aren't a comic book fan. It's well made, cutting edge effects.

Thank you for asking. I enjoy talking about movies. Willis favorites? 12 Monkeys, Die Hard, Sixth Sense, Fifth Element, and Unbreakable.

I thought Hostage was okay. Also enjoyed Tears of the Sun, though I don't think I would watch it a second time.

All time favorite Bruce Willis movie is Hudson Hawk. There were so many great lines in that film.

Sin City is good. More so if you like Frank Miller, guns, trashy women, sex, blood, and violence. ;)

I always kind of liked the begining of Armagedon where Bruce is on the oil rig taking potshots at the Greenpeace boat with golfballs.

And of course Pulp Fiction...

"Where did you get the motorcycle?"
"It's a chopper baby. Get on."
"Where did you get the chopper?"
"It's Zed's."
"Who's Zed?"
"Zed's dead baby. Hold on."

Sin City is fun, but definately not for the kiddies. The scene between Rutger Hauer, Mickey Rourke and [the head of] Elijah Wood is a classic. Very creepy...

It seems to be an exception rendering of the comic book in live action.

However, the slavish devotion to that end makes the film unwatchable for more than 5 minutes at a time.
