Neither Christmas Vacation nor Christmas with the Kranks has been on the Hallmark Channel and they are Christmas movies.

Die Hard is a movie set at Christmas. Not a Christmas movie. Bruce Willis even said it wasn't a Christmas movie.

There are Christmas presents, Christmas trees, Christmas Cocaine and Christmas Killings in Die Hard.


Yes it's a Christmas movie.

You can personally consider it a "Christmas movie", but if Die Hard is your answer when someone asks what your favorite Christmas movie is, you're being an intentionally obtuse tryhard.

Obviously. That's why my answer is "Gremlins."

Bruce Willis didn't write the movie. The writer said it's a Christmas movie.

This was settled long ago, it's a Christmas movie. The phrase 'Ho Ho Ho' is written on a shirt, poking fun at the season

If we want to split hairs, It invented Action Christmas just as Silent Night, Deadly Night invented Horror Christmas.

The man walked on broken glass bare footed for his family. If that's not the embodiment of the Christmas spirit than what is?

Well... uhh.... in my defense, I didn't know that. So I guess that it is a Christmas movie. Somebody needs to tell Bruce, though.

It's been playing on IFC daily and they plan to play it continuously on Christmas Day.

They can't afford it just like they can't afford Home Alone, A Christmas Story, Scrooged, Christmas Vacation, A Charlie Brown Christmas, Gremlins, etc etc etc.

Yes, the only time it's ever discussed is around Christmas time especially by those claiming it isn't. Ergo, it's a Christmas movie. It's pivotal to the plot.

Die Hard is an action movie with Christmas subthemes. It's not a Christmas movie primarily

Is it though? Change it to a retirement party after hours in the middle of August and the plot is basically the same.
