Die Hard IS at Christmas movie.

[QueerDuck]

1. It takes place during the Christmas season, but it's not the sentimental heartwarming type of movie...

that most people associate with the category "Christmas Movie".

It's one of my favorites.

2. Nope. Wrongheaded

A movie that occurs during Christmas isn't necessarily a Christmas movie. It's not ABOUT Christmas. It's about 'splosions.

7. So the writer is wrong about his own movie?

8. Yes. Wrong.

He's just trying to cash in on the controversy.

9. The director too?

11. Yep. Him too.

They have a profit motive... people doing annual rewatches means money in their pockets

(in case you can't tell, I don't really care about this. I'm mostly funnin')

12. Is Disney+ in on the conspiracy? ;)

14. More like in on the joke. NT

15. Happy Holidays 😉

3. I agree. So is Less than Zero.

A wonderful celebration of the holidays in sunny California as well.

4. I don't know if it's a christmas movie, but

I watch it every year at christmas time. I never watch it in the summer.

5. Didn't we just have this discussion? Anyway, yes it is. Also

So is Lethal Weapon. My favorite Christmas movie is The Ref, which is kind of a twisted, dysfunctional traditional Christmas movie.

6. I don't know of any African American family

Who watches White Christmas 1954, but we don't skip Die Hard at Christmas. Yup it is a Christmas movie!

[MustLoveBeagles]

10. I consider it an unconvenional Christmas movie

[progressoid]

13. Her name is HOLLY!

Better than anything on Hallmark.
