Is die hard really a christmas movie ?

I clearly feel die hard is not a Christmas movie , its a big action movie that takes place around christmas time . The only part of the whole film that does deal with anything about christmas is the party that takes place in the building . I would say that die hard is one of the best action hero movies that came out of the 80s .

Not at all. It takes place at Christmas but that doesn't make it a Christmas movie. The movie itself has nothing to do with Christmas and it is irrelevant to the story

@MethDozer thank you :)

If it wasn't Christmas the building would be full and the robbers wouldn't be able to rob it. The film only works because its at Christmas. There are also plenty of Christmas references throughout the film.

@NativePortlander1970 Theo enjoyed his job too much. "The quarterback is toast".
@Jacko1971 As the Scicilian learned the hard way, posturing and monotoning did not save him from the ibogaine.
@GeniUs For nothing more than witnessing that McClain was taking out his people one by one, foiling his plans.
Cult classic that's been adopted by millions all over the world as a Christmas film geared for the mature audience that crave a bit of nostalgia over literally decades of being played on the regular during Christmas.

Agreed it wasn't meant to be a Christmas movie. But over time and circumstances over said time. It just is.

If not at the least let the Dads have this one 😅

It's a great movie, regardless of if it's a Christmas movie or not.

Beats me, I know the game Parasite eve is a Christmas game, it starts on Christmas eve

@AllycatAD that was one freaky horror game, the cinematic cut scenes were top not for tech at the time it was out

I tried to watch it. Never got after the first few minutes. Does it get better later? I have my doubts.

@CrazyMusicLover give it a chance , its amoung the best action movies of all time

@Fa8393 Yeah, that might be problem. 😆 I don't like action movies.

I love this question. Every year and I never get tired of it. This question has become apart of American Christmas tradition. 🧑‍🎄

It's not a movie I would imagine families with kids and grandkids would watch on Christmas Eve together.

@NativePortlander1970 i like what he says come to California to enjoy the scenery or somthing like that . To me bruce willis plays a everyday hero . Just a man that was forced to adapt to a bad situation and survived it all .

@Fa8393 that was a deliberate plot trope. Action stars at that time were all larger than life like Stallone and Swarzenegger. Making John McLean an ordinary man made the film more believable .
