If you want further proof Christmas movies or movies studios want a strong association with Christmas are typically released closer to Christmas. Die Hard came out in the summer. In that respect even Just Friends has a larger case to that than Die Hard.

Hah ok. You got me. Well played but you went too far with the trolling.

A Christmas movie released in July, yeah ok.

crazy how this is a debate every year....it's not a christmas movie

IMO you could rewire Die Hard and remove all the Christmas references and plug in a different holiday like Thanksgiving and you wouldn't lose much impact. A real Christmas movie would fall apart if you removed Christmas from it.

i guess home alone isnt a christmas movie than either


just because die hard is an action movie doesnt mean its not a Christmas movie also
christmas movies can be comedys and, action movies too. not just dramas and romance

It takes place during Christmas but I don't see it as a Christmas movie

 

[Lil Bape the PostGod]

Christmas is about family gatherings and gift giving. Movies that are mostly about people and their social interactions will be more likely to fit that theme than action movies. Action movies are typically about action, violence, and killing. How are those Christmas themes?

Dead Presidents is a Christmas movies. Bossman Cutty calls Anthony "santa claus".

Rocky IV must be one too. Batman Returns as well.

At the very least it's a Christmas season movie

Home Alone is a Christmas movie because the setting, and familial theme of the movies was based around the holidays.

Kevin running through the toy stores, going to church to listen to the choir, etc. makes it a Christmas movie.
