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. :D

Which one? Sim or Murray?

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' ...

That's the one I like. I recognize Scrooge immediately!

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.


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.

It took place during Christmas, it’s not a Christmas movie.
 
Of course Die Hard is a Christmas movie, next!
It sends a message to terrorists that despite the holiday John McClane is on the job.View attachment 168027
C'mon people, he even has a Santa hat on as he blows bad guys away.
Nothing says Christ more than a Santa hat..
"Christ" ...what the bad guys say just before going to meet him when McClane fills 'em full of lead.
A religious epiphany right before death.
Almost brings a tear to my eye.:cry:

Gonna get deep here...I see the Santa hat representing justice administered by the holy angel St. Nick the supreme judge of ALL sent by Jesus himself to deliver justice to evil...


And to give the good kids toys.

That might be a little responsible for my "deep" thoughts. :eusa_shhh:
 
He writes 'Now I have a machine gun, Ho Ho Ho' on a dead German terrorist wearing a Santa hat.

That sure isn't a Halloween reference.

Next Christmas I will be wearing an ugly sweater with that statement on it.

and technically it's. "ho....ho...ho..." via the acting brilliance of Mr Rickman,
