Die Hard is not a Christmas Movie. It's a God Damn Bruce Willis movie.

Anytime someone says Die Hard is their favorite Christmas movie, I think less of them.

I try not to be judgmental but I have limits.

The one person I know who regularly says this also loves Nic Cage and tries to get people to watch Con Air

I think that sums it up well enough

Die Hard is thematically about trying to reconnect with your estranged family vs. opening a vault full of goodies. It has a clear message about the spirit of the holiday.

Lethal Weapon just happens to be set on Christmas.

The French Connection is a Christmas movie.

I voted yes because really you could choose whatever the heck you want for a Christmas movie. Can't say I ever really thought about this in regards to Lethal Weapon though. Die Hard isn't a Christmas movie in the traditional sense but it's dotted with the imagery of the holiday so yeah.

Jumanji is a Christmas movie.

Die Hard released July 20 1988. No studio releases Christmas movies that time of year. That being said, a movie that overlaps into Christmas can be reason enough for any viewer to enjoy watching it at Christmas. It doesn't make it a 'Christmas movie', but also who cares if you want to call it one, ya know? Do what works for you.

First Blood (Rambo) is a Christmas movie. You can see Christmas decorations when they are in town, so it must be.

Die Hard is and the debate is stupid. The entire story and themes revolve around Christmas. Remove the Christmas setting and the whole film has to change. Also release date doesn't matter, Christmas films regularly get released throughout the year and some places got it during the holidays anyway. It's a Christmas film and there isn't any case otherwise.

Lethal Weapon is an edge case. The imagery is there and it has Christmas songs. However, it is all incidental to the plot.

I went only Die Hard but I can see them both being Christmas movies.

Die Hard is not a Christmas movie in the same way as something like Elf, but otherwise yeah.

Now let's debate if Gremlins and Trading Places are Christmas movies. Or if Batman Returns is a Christmas movie.

I've never seen it. Is it more or less a Christmas movie than Home Alone?
