UnholyMudcrab 12/04/18 4:37:48 PM #1:	Was having this discussion with someone earlier. They said they consider Die Hard to be a Christmas movie, but not Gremlins. I'm not really sure how you can have one but not the other, especially when the only real qualification is "It takes place at Christmas time." --- https://imgur.com/VeNBg https://imgur.com/gd5jC8q https://imgur.com/PKIy7 https://imgur.com/3p29JqP <cite>UnholyMudcrab posted [p:913541165] in Is Gremlin...

FortuneCookie 12/04/18 4:40:16 PM #3:	Gremlins is the quintessential Christmas horror movie. It takes place at Christmastime, Gizmo himself is a Christmas gift, one of the victims is dressed up like Santa, and the girl from Fast Times talking about why she doesn't celebrate is certainly enough to seal the deal. Tell your friend it's a Christmas movie and they're dead wrong, ~~dead as a dad dressed as Santa stuck in a chimney~~ wrong, if they think it's not. <cite>FortuneCookie posted [p:913541308] in Is Gremlin...

To play devil's advocate, there's nothing about the plot that strictly requires it to be set at Christmas, though. With a few minor changes it could be a pretty effective Halloween movie too. --- https://imgur.com/VeNBg https://imgur.com/gd5jC8q https://imgur.com/PKIy7 https://imgur.com/3p29JqP <cite>UnholyMudcrab posted [p:913542441] in Is Gremlin...
