Die Hard is a Christmas Movie

[Peradox1K]

It's about that time of year... What's yall's?
Mine is either Home Alone 2 or Polar Express, both just really nostalgic for me.

My favorites are Home Alone, Christmas Vacation and A Christmas Story. Honorable mention for Scrooged

 

[McDad]

Christmas isn't complete unless I watch It's a Wonderful Life, A Christmas Carole, Christmas Vacation, Die Hard, and a Christmas Story.

Great question, so many wonderful Christmas films. I know it’s not the best but it’s special to me. Magical taking my daughter to see this at the theater when she was 4.

It is.

FTR.

Christmas Vacation, of course. The Santa Claus. Scrooged. Christmas in Connecticut and Holiday Inn. Both are quite dated but still carry an otherworldly charm. The Christmas Chronicles with Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn is a good recent flick.

Also, Die Hard is obviously Christmas movie.

My current employer has a main office in Fox Plaza, aka Nakatomi Tower.

Not on the 30th floor though.

Just to throw it out there I pretty much always throw myself a curve ball around Christmas with Better Watch Out, Black Christmas and Rare Exports.

Here's what I want to know....why doesn't It's a Wonderful Life get **** for not being a Christmas movie? It happens on Christmas Eve. It's about one guy finding happiness in relationships and community. It's wholesome, but it's so light on the actual Christmas side of things. Only a tiny bit of Christmas music. A tiny bit of iconography. It's part of the story, but it could be Easter. It doesn't even have to be happening on a holiday, and it barely seems like it is.

The entirety of Die Hard happens at a Christmas party. The movie is filled with Christmas music, iconography, references to Christmas in dialogue, Christmas-themed jokes about murder, etc.

Christmas Vacation, Home Alone, and White Christmas. Elf for the family.

You wear (wore) magic underwear. Your opinion about "Christmas" is irrelevant.

Why is Christmas in quotation marks, LOL? Are you questioning whether or not we're really talking about Christmas?

A lot of people have really stupid religious beliefs that they STILL follow and I'd be a POS for making fun of them, but Mormons are fair game.

I still love the old classic Charlie Brown, Rudolf, and Grinch specials.

We watch Vacation every year and usually Elf.

And, yes, Die Hard is a fantastic Christmas movie.
