At Thanksgiving.
Dad trying to reunite with his family for the holidays.
Gobble gobble gobble I have a machine gun.
No, I'm specifically talking about Die Hard. I know what I posted.So you're saying Home Alone isn't a christmas movie because it could have taken place at Thanksgiving?
Home Alone, Die Hard, Gremlins are all amazing Christmas movies.
I'm not sure where I insulted anyone, but don't you think calling someone douche is kind of rude?Why is the op gatekeeping christmas movies on top of insulting members ?
fuck off you douche
Its the best christmas movie
Die Hard could have taken place on any other holiday or occassion
But what if it took place on a bus... And that bus couldn't go under 60 miles per hour? Would it still be a Christmas movie then? 🤔But it didn't. It took place at Christmas.
If you're going to play the "If I change a thing about a movie, it's no longer about that thing!" game, we're gonna be here a long time.

Bet. The overarching plot of the movie has little to do with Christmas. Though there's a little bit of Christmas peppered throughout the film, like when Al is singing Let it Snow, John is just a New York cop who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. He did his due diligence to stop a terrorist threat because he's a cop and it was his duty to respond when there's no local law enforcement in the building. The fact that it takes place on Christmas Eve (within the universe of the film) is coincidental and has no bearing on John's motivations to stop Hans and save the hostages.
Yup. Because it's an action movie that takes place on Christmas. Not a Christmas movie that has action scenes.

Nah, that would ruin the scene I'm thinking about adding where the bus jumps an overpass. Tinsel is well known to be un-aerodynamic.
Home alone is not a Christmas movie, it's a heist movie that takes place during Christmas.Die Hard is not a Christmas movie. It's an action movie that takes place at Christmas.
If Die Hard is a Christmas movie, then 'Santa's North Pole Sluts 12' is also a Christmas movie.

You just listed two Christmas movies. I don't understand what you are saying.Die Hard is not a Christmas movie. It's an action movie that takes place at Christmas.

Is Home Alone a Christmas movie? I mean it could have been set at anytime of the year and it would have had the same effect.
Correct.Home alone is not a Christmas movie, it's a heist movie that takes place during Christmas.
Yeah because this thread isn't about Home Alone, it's about Die Hard.Several people upthread mentioned Home Alone (which you neatly avoided addressing), which is another in a long line of Christmas movies that could be changed to not be Christmas movies without a huge amount of reworking.
The fact that a movie can be de-Christmased relatively easily doesn't disqualify them from being Christmas movies.
Yup. Because it's an action movie that takes place on Christmas. Not a Christmas movie that has action scenes.
Taking place on or around Christmas is enough for me, especially when the seasonal flair is a noticeable part of the setting & atmosphere. You can make the same argument against Halloween. It's a Horror movie that takes place on Halloween. There's nothing vital to the plot there. Michael could've happened to kill his sister a couple months later.Which would've made it a Christmas movie
Home alone is not a Christmas movie, it's a heist movie that takes place during Christmas.
I consider it one.
Gremlins is also a Christmas movie.
Watch both for the best Christmas.
