Is Die Hard a Christmas movie?

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

The real question: "Is Lethal Weapon a Christmas movie?". (Hint: Yes, it is).

Finding a Shane Black movie that isn't a Christmas movie is the hard part. (Iron Man 3, The Nice Guys, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, etc.)

Counter to the prosecution. It's not really relevant what was intended or what the actors say, Die Hard has transitioned in to being a Christmas movie.

Just look at how Ridley Scott and Harrison Ford disagree about what's happening in Blade Runner. The actor is by no means the last word on these subjects.

I mean, it has its own Christmas ornament...

I always agree with Die Hard being a Christmas movie because it's just much funnier to have it treated as one than not.

Yeah, that's where I'm at, too. Likewise "Gremlins."

Doesn't everyone greet family by saying-

Or something similar.

Clearly yes. 10 delusional people vote "no".

Does anybody really think people were going out to watch a ‘Christmas movie’ in July?

Christmas in July is a thing.

It depends on perspective.
Is a Christmas movie one about Christmas tropes and themes?
Or is a Christmas movie one you watch around Christmas time?

In the first perspective it’s not. In the 2nd perspective it is.

It's Schrodinger's Christmas movie.

Not really it's mostly a joke. "Best Christmas movie ever".

Most Christmas movies are kinda lame.
