The people have spoken: Die Hard is NOT a Christmas movie
- Thread starter Aurongel
- Start date
The people also considered Trump to be a presidential candidate, so I pretty much don't give a fuck what the people think
I mean, after hearing Miracle on 34th Street came out in June, so I guess it could be a Christmas movie
I'm in the no camp. The difference maker for me is that Christmas movies share a tone that die hard just does not.
Either way it's a silly argument. It's way better than the vast majority of Christmas movies

It always has been, and always will be to me. I even own a copy of this to read around the fireplace at Christmas time.
The film is literally about a man trying to get home, against all odds, to see his family at Christmas. Next you'll be telling me that Batman Returns isn't a Christmas movie.
I was about to link you to a goddamned trailer until I saw your username.
I want to watch Die hard all year round.
I don't want to watch Christmas movies all year round.
Therefore die hard is not a Christmas movie.

It doesn't explore the 'magic' or Christmas in any way, but it is a story of redemption, with Christmas itself being the catalyst that re-unites John and Holly before the Gruber boys show up. That's some solid sentiment to me.
And the opening of the vault is a brilliant scene which invites you to join in the fun of the bad guys winning, starting with a Christmas joke and growing into Ode To Joy. It's way more evocative than any "let's open our Christmas present" scene I can think of, with maybe Danny getting Gizmo in Gremlins being close.
So, I think it's on the fringes, but it counts because ultimately, the best thing about Christmas is family (except that time I got Tomb Raider 2 on my PSOne).[/QUOTE]
Carl Winslow just told me on TV that it is, so I think that should seal the deal.
edit: and fuck Bruce Willis, the humorless prick.

He also said Die Hard 5 was a good movie. He's an unreliable source. :-)
Happens during Christmastime, not actual Christmas movie. What's tough to understand about that, 25% of morons?
Yeah, but not the MAJORITY of people, though. Only reason Trump won was because there are certain people whose vote matters MORE simply because certain States have more power than they EVER should have in regards to Presidential elections. Fuck Electoral College!

There's a Christmas song in the first 10 minutes of the movie. It's just "too black" for America to appreciate
It's a movie about how some D-tier criminal named Hans Gruber falls to his death
