Every movie that's set during Christmas is a Christmas movie. I'm watching Eyes Wide Shut with my wife tonight
One of my friends had this take on it:
Die Hard can't be a Christmas movie because Die Hard is actually good.

Wrong. As I have said in a similar conversation:
I’m going to argue that Die Hard is NOT a Christmas movie. It’s simply a movie where the events within it, happen to take place around Christmas time.
Die Hard is to Christmas movies what Top Gun is to romance movies, or what Casablanca is to war movies. Just because it contains a thing, doesn’t mean it’s about said thing.
If the b plot wasn't family reconciliation I'd agree.
Every scene in this movie is a work of art. It's so rare for a movie to check as many boxes as this one does so perfectly. it has humor, a love story, action, Alan Rickman, a heist, and most of all Christmas!
Happy holidays everyone! Hoping you can all get together and have a few laughs with your loved ones.
Astonishingly, that was also Rickman's movie debut
The best christmas movie!
...melon farmer.
heck yeah, it's a christmas film. the whole thing is based around a christmas party and is all about love
There is definitely a demand for such movies on Christmas, otherwise a movie like Fatman wouldn't have been produced. It's a Christmas movie with Die Hard elements.
Yes, along with the dress being blue.
Indeed. It’s perhaps the only Christmas movie.
Yippee kayak other buckets
I remember the 90's TV censored edit was "Yippee Ki Ay, Melon Farmer!"
The most recent time I watched the TV version it was, "Yippee Ki-yay, my friend".
I was doing the B99 version
Die Hard, the grade school musical?
Yes - but more importantly, I am so happy reading the rest of the comments here: I've truly found my people.
Hell yeah!
No, we all do not.
👎
Yes, and so are The Long Kiss Goodnight and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
Yes it is. Just like how The Shawshank Redemption is an after New Year's movie.
the best classifier i've heard is "christmas movies are movies you would feel weird watching any other time of the year".
Absolutely a Christmas movie
Die Hard is awesome, but I've always liked The Ref too.
Edit: not sure I've ever been downvoted for agreeing with the main question hahahaha classic
What are we agreeing in?
