    I think its important to establish why it’s a Christmas movie. I consider it one not just because it’s Christmas time in the movie but because it’s heavily Christmas themed the entire movie. For this exact same reason I think other movies also fall into this category like gremlins and terrifier 3.

    If the only thing a Christmas movie takes is being set on or around Christmas, Batman Returns and Eyes Wide Shut are Christmas movies. Oppenheimer has a Christmas scene, is that a Christmas movie too? Clearly there’s a line somewhere.

    Wrong. As I have said in a similar conversation:

    I’m going to argue that Die Hard is NOT a Christmas movie. It’s simply a movie where the events within it, happen to take place around Christmas time.

    Die Hard is to Christmas movies what Top Gun is to romance movies, or what Casablanca is to war movies. Just because it contains a thing, doesn’t mean it’s about said thing.

    Every scene in this movie is a work of art. It’s so rare for a movie to check as many boxes as this one does so perfectly. it has humor, a love story, action, Alan Rickman, a heist, and most of all Christmas!

    Happy holidays everyone! Hoping you can all get together and have a few laughs with your loved ones.

    Since we can all agree that “The Wrong Trousers” is the best Christmas film, I think that “Die Hard” is a Christmas film is a no brainer.

    The Straight Lads need a film they can be emotional, bond over, and feel festive joy.
