No. Trading Places is the BEST Christmas movie!

Die Hard is #2

If they go by movies having only part of their story at Christmastime, yeah, it’s a good one. Same with It’s a Wonderful Life. Sorry, the movie is mostly a biography, NOT at Christmastime.

There are an amazing number of movies that have good Christmas acts. Just found another yesterday, Great Rupert. Nice little Christmas part.

Movies should really be divided into several categories. Die Hard is not a Christmas movie (sorry), just all set at Xmas. Some might fit in that category. There are those that have scenes with it as above, and those which really have Xmas as the point of the entire movie.

I do like “Trading Places”. Old movie though. I was telling my kids about the scene where Ackroyd dressed as Santa shoves a piece of salmon into his suit and pulls it out to eat on the subway. They had no idea what I was talking about. They are going to put the movie on their list of movies to watch. To them, that movie’s as old as “Gone Was The Wind” was to me when I was a young adult.
