Yes it's a Christmas movie, Bruce is giving the gift of death to his fellow man, men(s)..

I love the original Die Hard, but it isn't a Christmas Movie. It took place in the Christmas season and opened around Christmas, but it's hardly a Christmas movie.

 

[Vastator]

It is without questions Christmas movie.

Nothing says Merry Christmas like a hail of hot lead.

Antisemitism! How can such a question even be raised without a lightning flashing down?

Yes, and it's basically biblical canon.

It ain't Christmas until I see Hans Gruber falling to his death from Nakatomi Plaza.

Of course it's a Christmas movie...

He wouldn't be there if not for the Christmas party, it's Christmas eve, there are Christmas decorations, there are Christmas carols and Christmas songs, nhis wife's name is Holly, his last gift to Hans Gruber is wrapped (well, taped), there is even a Christmas miracle.

I wouldn't consider it a Christmas movie. While there are some holiday atmospheres, the plot itself has nothing to do with Christmas.

 

[ChrisL]

It's an action movie.

Taking this approach, It's a Wonderful Life isn't a Christmas movie. While there are some holiday atmospheres, the plot itself has nothing to do with Christmas...

Well there is a "Christmas lesson" in It's a Wonderful Life. Die Hard is an action film about bad guys versus good guys.

What "Christmas lesson"? A guy tries to kill himself on Christmas eve, an "angel" shows him what life would be like without him, in the end he discovers he has more friends than he thought. Nothing to do with Christmas, the story could be told set in any time of the year.



Just for the record, I'm just poking fun, not picking a fight...

Well, my favorite Christmas movie is a Christmas Carol anyways.

I'm not familiar with the actors' names, but I like the one from 1984 (which was made to look older), and I also like the old one from the 1930s, I think. I don't like the one that is like a musical version.

There is, and will always be, one acceptable 'Xmas Carol' ...
