One of my friends had this take on it:
Die Hard can't be a Christmas movie because Die Hard is actually good.

To me, Die Hard is a Christmas movie because it is set on Christmas Eve. I don't think it technically counts as a Christmas movie, but that just makes me consider it a Christmas movie even harder

My wife claims
- die hard is not a Christmas movie
Yet
- the sound of music is
She's so gorgeous but sometimes I just don't understand her.
It's about a man at a Christmas party that has gone incredibly wrong. It's a Christmas movie
Absolutely. There can be zero disagreement on this.
Technically it is set during Christmas, but it's not about Christmas. But a movie tons of people like to watch at Christmastime is a Christmas movie.
It has Christmas music in the soundtrack, the b plot is about family mending, and it takes place during a Christmas party.
There is definitely a demand for such movies on Christmas, otherwise a movie like Fatman wouldn't have been produced. It's a Christmas movie with Die Hard elements.
...melon farmer.
heck yeah, it's a christmas film. the whole thing is based around a christmas party and is all about love
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.
Astonishingly, that was also Rickman's movie debut
No.
That's like saying Flight Club is a movie about soap.
Yes - but more importantly, I am so happy reading the rest of the comments here: I've truly found my people.
Duh. It's the best Christmas movie too.
I mean… Christmas Vacation?
Die Hard, the grade school musical?
Hell yeah!
Yes, along with the dress being blue.
Die Hard is awesome, but I've always liked The Ref too.
Indeed. It’s perhaps the only Christmas movie.
