[Skwor]

Utter pompous nonsense, the drivel of fart sniffing elitism.

[Antihero101607]

A postmodern audience would be cheering the parts of the movie when Hans Gruber kills Joseph Takagi, and later Harry Ellis.

[Jamestown1630]

LOL!

I had to sit through that movie for the umpteenth time the other day. (My husband insists it’s a Christmas movie...)

[ChildOfThe60s]

Ditto. In spades

[Orosius]

All I know is, it’s not Christmas till Hans Gruber falls from the top of the Nakatomi Building.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

It is a Christmas movie.

A fractured family is being made whole.

A man learns to forgive himself.

Peace and order win over the forces of greed and chaos.

A small child gets their Christmas wish.

A media personality gets socked in the kisser.

And when I see that, the warm glow of Christmas fills my heart.

[Jamestown1630]

I prefer Lethal Weapon 2.

[KarlInOhio]

And someone gets the machine gun he really wanted.

You'll put both of your eyes out, kid.

“Utter pompous nonsense, the drivel of fart sniffing elitism.”

Definitely written by an EV owner.

A small child gets their Christmas wish.

I stopped reading right there.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Too bad.

But your choice.

[BipolarBob]

Plus important dietary information such as Twinkie ingredients “Sugar-enriched flour, Partially hydrogenated vegetable oil, Polysorbate 60, and Yellow Dye No. 5. “.

[Disambiguator]

That’s actually pretty accessible compared to some other postmodern gibberish I’ve seen.

Like what this thing churns out:

Delicious!

And "We're gonna need some more F.B.I. guys, I guess".

[Bratch]

[FamiliarFace]

I watched it for the first time a few nights ago.

NOT a Christmas movie.

It is an action movie that takes place on Christmas Eve. That’s it.

Nothing about that movie speaks of Peace, Joy, or Hope. Barely speaks of love.

[Secret Agent Man]

It is a Christmas movie. Christmas is integral to the plot in multiple ways.

[The Duke]

I’m more of a “Donovan’s Reef” holiday guy. :)

[SamAdams76]

The notion that “Die Hard” is a Christmas movie is spread by us guys, so that we don’t have to watch yet another sappy Hallmark Christmas movie in which a big city girl visits her rustic parents out in the country and falls in love with a local rube after he fixes the flat tire on her Mercedes and takes her a cup of hot chocolate at the local diner.
