I think you're maybe mixing up "being political" with "being propagandistic". Those aren't the same thing.

BTTF or Guardians 3 are political in that they have a built-in political view. They're movies where reality is painted from a specific perspective and lines up with a certain worldview. They're not selling you on that perspective actively, it's built into the narrative as a framing, consicous or subsconscious (it's more subconscious in BTTF, more conscious in G3).

Die Hard is a bit of a different beast there. It may not be outright propagandistic or jingoistic, but it sure is flirting with that borderline there.
