Movies: The Yearly debate: Die Hard: Xmas movie or an action movie that takes place during Xmas

[Jumptheshark]

that time of year again. I still no!--if this is an xmas movie than so is lethal weapon 1

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Still absolutely a Xmas movie. Anyone saying otherwise does not understand life.

If Die Hard is a Christmas movie then so is Iron Man 3.

The way I see it, the plot is a result of Christmas. The thieves break into houses during christmas because that's when people are away from them and/or have valuable presents available to steal. No Christmas? No Sticky Bandits. The storyline of Die Hard would have occured regardless of Christmas.

Nope it wouldn't have. He would not have been there if not for the holidays

The people have spoken:

Die Hard is a Christmas movie!!

What about Gremlins, Christmas movie or movie that takes place at Christmas time?

[I am not exposed]

It is an action movie that just happens to occur at Christmas time.

 

[Ceremony]

What about Gremlins, Christmas movie or movie that takes place at Christmas time?

Gremlins is very obviously a Christmas film.

 

[BertCorbeau]

It ain't Christmas until I see Hans Gruber fall off Nakatomi Plaza

 

[Canadiens Ghost]

Only people that don't have Xmas spirit believe Die Hard isn't a Xmas movie.

 

[Jack Straw]

Case closed.
