Ah, Alan Rickman. I still feel very peeved that you are no longer with us. It feels very unfair. Anyway, you're great in this movie and I'm sure that you're reading GFY in the great beyond to see this.

Johnny Depp, 1988

I've spent a LOT of this workday trying to figure out what LA establishment Johnny's tee is advertising but he never took his jacket off at this event. Thwarted!

Heather Graham, 1988

Look at this baby face! (She's 18 here.)

"Honestly, Sly, sometimes you show up at these things and just act like a parody of yourself."

This is also a look! The denim! The socks! The belts!! Children, gather round and let me explain to you that in 1988, this was THE HEIGHT of casual wear. I -- a twelve year old girl at this point in time -- would have DIED FOR THIS OUTFIT.

Jon Lovitz, 1988

Congrats, Jon Lovitz! This blazer is BACK!

Cloris Leachman, 1988

Cloris, looking like your mom's favorite aerobics teacher when you run into her out at the Haagen Dazs on Friday night.

Robert Downey Jr. and Sarah Jessica Parker, 1990

RDJ looks very stylish AND like he's a really irritating boyfriend (which, by all accounts, including his own, I think he was). SJP is, I fear, wearing bike shorts.

Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, 1990

For some reason, I did not have a photo of Bruce Willis at the premiere of Die Hard Original Sauce. But he and Demi MORE than made up for it here, as we move into Die Hard 2 territory. WHAT IS HAPPENING. Also: Have we ever seen Demi Moore and Miss Fisher in the same room together? Also also: Shout out to an uncaptioned Danny Aiello just lurking around back there.

Julia and Kiefer, 1990

Julia's shoes are so hideous. I swear to god, she stole them from the set of Hook, except that hadn't started filming yet.

Sylvester Stallone, 1990

"Not such a parody of myself NOW, am I???!"

Gary Busey and actress Belinda Bauer, 1990

Gary Busey embraced American's nascent reunion with khakis.

Robert Townsend, 1990

This was VERY chic for 1990 and also I think the right person could probably wear this today.

Michael Nouri and wife Vicki Light, 1990

Somewhere in America, Vicki here is like, "ah, yes. That haircut. It was 1990, y'all." (She owned a talent agency at the time.) (They're divorced now.)

Matthew Modine, 1990

This shirt + these sunglasses = peak 1990.

Paula Ravets and Paul Reiser, 1990

The less said about THIS shirt on Paul the better. (Fun fact: They are still married and have been since 1988.)

I am pretty sure I owned those pants. (The ones on Samantha.)

Daphne Zuniga, 1990

How cute is Daphne Zuniga here? She could wear this whole thing right now. (Including that maybe-vintage clutch.)

Woody Harrelson, 1990

WOODY WHAT IS HAPPENING

Woody Harrelson and Penelope Ann Miller, 1990

Also, I forgot they dated. ALSO did you know she was married to Will Arnett? Because I did not.

C. Thomas Howell and Lala Zappa, 1990

CTH definitely believes himself to be in an Armani ad here.

Andrew Dice Clay, 1990

Anyone who was a sentient being in 1990 has imprinted on this look as being what Andrew Dice Clay looks like 100% of the time, even now. I was surprised when he did not wear these glasses in A Star Is Born. (In which he was surprisingly good!)

William Atherton and wife Bobbi Golden, 1990

Do you ever think about how the villain -- also, of course, William Atherton -- in Ghostbusters is THE EPA?

Justine Bateman, 1990

Somewhere, Bella Hadid is wondering where she can get this whole outfit.

Christian Slater, 1990

Christian Slater is NOT leaving without his gift bag!

Patrick Swayze and wife Lisa Niemi, 1990

Truly, the man-hair of 1990 was exquisite.

Richard E. Grant and Sandra Bernhard, 1990

Sandra looks divine here; Richard E Grant looks like peak Richard E Grant.

Lea Thompson, 1990

Truly, it feels like the caption here should be, "OH YOU!!"

Satie Gossett's look has aged VERY well.

Bring this blazer out again!

Rosie Perez: Cute throughout history.

Eva Herzigova, 1995

This look is also pretty timeless.

Excuse me, I'm printing this out and using it for my holiday cards.

Renny Harlin, Geena Davis and Bruce Willis, 1995

All three of these people look like villains on a three-episode arc of Miami Vice.

God bless Samuel L. Jackson for repping the movie he's in so enthusiastically!

And then Kato Kaelin showed up! This was IN THE MIDDLE of the OJ trial -- he had testified two months earlier. (Interesting fact: Did you know that Kato sued the National Enquirer and said lawsuit set a landmark in libel law? Good for him.)

Yippee-ki-yay, It's the Die Hard(s) Premiere(s)!
Allow me to be the first to wish you a very merry Christmas.
