To me, Die Hard is a Christmas movie because it is set on Christmas Eve. I don't think it technically counts as a Christmas movie, but that just makes me consider it a Christmas movie even harder

Die Hard is not a Christmas movie!

Die Hard is a Christmas Eve movie.

It's about a man at a Christmas party that has gone incredibly wrong. It's a Christmas movie

[-] FinishingDutch@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

Absolutely. There can be zero disagreement on this.

My wife claims

  • die hard is not a Christmas movie

Yet

  • the sound of music is

She's so gorgeous but sometimes I just don't understand her.

Technically it is set during Christmas, but it's not about Christmas. But a movie tons of people like to watch at Christmastime is a Christmas movie.

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 3 days ago

It has Christmas music in the soundtrack, the b plot is about family mending, and it takes place during a Christmas party.

...melon farmer.

heck yeah, it's a christmas film. the whole thing is based around a christmas party and is all about love

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

[-] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

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.

[-] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

No.

That's like saying Flight Club is a movie about soap.

[-] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 5 points 4 days ago

Yes, along with the dress being blue.

[-] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 1 points 3 days ago

Yes - but more importantly, I am so happy reading the rest of the comments here: I've truly found my people.

[-] FeelzGoodMan420@eviltoast.org 1 points 3 days ago

Duh. It's the best Christmas movie too.

[-] theherk@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

I mean… Christmas Vacation?

[-] Professorozone@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago
[-] Guitarfun@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Die Hard is awesome, but I've always liked The Ref too.

[-] dutchkimble@lemy.lol 3 points 4 days ago

Indeed. It’s perhaps the only Christmas movie.

[-] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 4 days ago

Die Hard, the grade school musical?
