Die Hard

Sorry, couldn't pass it up.

I'll leave now.

I love this one, of course it's a Christmas movie:

  • The entire reason they're at the setting is "Christmas party"

  • "Ho Ho Ho now I have a machine gun"

  • "Not a creature was stirring, except four assholes coming in the rear" (also, phrasing lol)

  • "It's Christmas Theo, it's the time of miracles, so be of good cheer"

  • both scenes I can remember with Argyle mention Christmas by name.

It's undebatably a Christmas movie, but why I love it is because when people object it gives me the opportunity to make it worse by informing them that Rambo: First Blood is too.

But neither of those are my favorite Christmas movie, that honor goes to Gremlins.

I’m going to argue that Die Hard is NOT a Christmas movie. It’s simply a movie where the events within it, happen to take place around Christmas time.

Die Hard is to Christmas movies what Top Gun is to romance movies, or what Casablanca is to war movies.

Just because it contains a thing, doesn’t mean it’s about said thing.

I think Lethal Weapon has more of a Christmas message than Die Hard - Mismatched couple work through their differences to overcome adversity and finally spend Christmas Day together. That's a Hallmark pitch if ever there was one.

If it's about a romance during wartime, it is both a romance and a war movie, just as Kelly's Heroes is a heist film, a war movie, and a comedy a rolled into one. If it's about German terrorists taking over a Christmas party and being thwarted with a lot of action by a cop, it's a Christmas movie, a cop movie, and an action movie.

And Top Gun is a romance movie, a gay romance movie. Who can forget "playing with the boys?" (Not passing judgement, if Mavrick got Goose's goose that's between them and Iceman!)

I once watched this on a first date. We were together for four years after that. Make of that what you will.

Santa 1 is spreading joy to Santa 2.

Santa 2 gets too much holiday cheer and takes a eternal nap.

Santa 3, with Santa 2 expiring, begins to fade as well.
