A Christmas movie has to have a plot involving the morals and meanings of Christmas. Yeah, this. Last I checked, terrorism wasn't a Christmas theme. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

The appreciation and prioritization of family is though, and that's a major plot point between him and his wife. --- "She was like, 'Oh, did you see that firefighter? Hes so cute.'

Also, where is this rule that it has to have certain values to be a Christmas movie?
You guys are really restricting the genre. --- "She was like, 'Oh, did you see that firefighter? Hes so cute.' And I was like, Mom, I just got blown up." ... Copied to Clipboard!

As someone who was alive when Die Hard first came out I can tell you that the TV ads for it called it a Christmas movie that would get your heart pumping. As someone who was alive and old enough to remember when Die Hard first came out, no they didn't. NameMeWhatever posted...

no, Die Hard is not a Christmas movie, though it is often mistaken for one because it takes place on 24 december, which is not Christmas Day Christmas Eve is Christmas. --- https://i.imgtc.com/LCLKlZX.gif Life Fiber Kamui SENKETSU! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Give it up, TC.
There's people that refuse to accept Gremlins as a Christmas movie too and that is even more thematically about Christmas. There's just always going to be people that love being wrong. --- PSN: Jiek FFRK: Tyro God Wall KZcv ... Copied to Clipboard!

It's a different kind of Christmas movie, but it's still a Christmas movie. I can understand why it won't be a pick to watch for many people during Christmas, but I never got why people hate it being called a Christmas movie.
Even if it was just a joke or meme at first, it's now a holiday tradition for some and people can look at things differently. What's the harm in any of it? --- https://imgur.com/hslUvRN When I sin I sin real good. ... Copied to Clipboard!

It 100% is. Outside of the setting, decorations, and the music it is about family reuniting over the holiday, overcoming thieving crunches, and giving the gifts of bullets and fists.

Give it up, TC. I don't get how people can argue that Gremlins isn't a Christmas movie. Christmas movies don't have to be the same Rudolph and Frosty specials over and over again. They can overlap with other genres; very few movies in general are exclusively one genre with no overlap whatsoever. There can be Christmas horror and Christmas action movies. --- "She was like, 'Oh, did you see that firefighter? Hes so cute.' And I was like, Mom, I just got blown up." ... Copied to Clipboard!

Dude imagine taking Bruce Willies opinion on anything
Dudes a fucking tool with one of the worst egos ever. So many stories of how difficult he is to work with. Theres videos on YouTube of him being an ass in interviews. The fact he thinks its not a Christmas movie just further cements its place as a Christmas movie lol. Fuck Bruce Willie --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Christmas plays an integral part in the plot, there is a literal Christmas party and the "Now I have a machine gun, Ho Ho Ho" doesn't work at any other time of year the plot would not be significantly changed if it was just a regular office party, or if "ho ho ho" was removed --- peanut butter and dick ...

And It's a Wonderful Life could take place any time of the year.
A Christmas Story could be about a child wanting a Red Rider for his birthday. If you want to play that game, you pretty much have to include Santa as a central character for it to qualify as a Christmas movie. ... Copied to Clipboard!
