Hahahahahahaha...we were talking about Christmas movies the other day, and I cheerily opined “Die Hard is a Christmas movie!” and someone said “Bruce Willis said it is NOT a Christmas movie!”

I say: I don’t care. We all say it is...:)

Yes. It is a Christmas movie.

It is about family winning over greed.

About a good man who made a mistake leaning to forgive himself.

About a small child getting their Christmas wish.

About a news critter getting punched in the face.

And nothing brings a warm glow of happiness like a purveyor of discord getting socked in the kisser.

Die Hard has a lot of laughs, so that makes it Christmasy. Plus the hero wins.

It’s certainly a fun movie - but at the same time, it’s a shame that the old movies get overlooked and lost to generations. And that these sorts of things become the new traditions. The actual purpose of “a CHRISTmas season” is lost - and is background lights and decorations.

“A Christmas Carol” with Alistair Sim (?) - great version - probably my favorite - George C. Scott’s was very good as well

I remember when Casey Kasem was apoplectic over “The Little Drummer Boy” - ridiculous

On a side note, I remember when Sunday morning was filled with Christian pastors preaching on TV - now it seems like it’s 10% of what it once was (in post-Christian America - thanks Manchurian Candidate spirit-of-antichrist Barack Hussein Obama for pushing that as well)

(yes, I liked the next two DH movies though, as well)

John McClane Is Santa. Holly, helper elf for Santa tells Lucy “we’ll see what Santa brings us”. He arrives by air carrying a toy. A large stuffed bear. His reindeer, Argyle, in his limo/sleigh, takes him to where he is needed to provide the group ultimately a merry Christmas. He provides his family with Santa - bringing Lucy the bear by way of Argyle and his sleigh/limo

If Die Hard is a Christmas movie,
then so is Rambo First Blood.

Rap group Christmas song in the limo, there’s a Christmas party, “Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!” performed by Vaughn Monroe at the end.

Is.
