Didn’t Bruce Willis himself say Die Hard wasn’t a Christmas movie? 🫢

what he said, apparently in some sort of comedy bruce willis roast, that it was not a christmas movie. it was a bruce willis movie. i think we can discount that.

So I think from this most detailed discussion, we have deduced a long list of criteria to qualify for being 'a Christmas movie'. Which I've taken the liberty of capturing here for our analytical convenience. 

takes place somewhere near Xmas day +/- 7 days.

Next we'll be debating the loneliness, suffering and redemption that's the dark thematic Christmas spirit in Rambo.

Just came across Macaulay Culkin's take on Die Hard being or not being a Christmas movie and I must say, he has a point 🤔

Still, it most definitely is a Christmas movie.

Die Hard not a Christmas movie? Next you'll be telling me Lethal Weapon, The Long Kiss Goodnight, 12 Monkeys, Gremlins, Invasion USA, Reindeer Games, Batman Returns, or Fatman are not Christmas movies!

Porn movies ?

Here are two examples of Crimbo Cinema that are rightfully overlooked (even though “Jingle All the Way” showcases the talent of a then unknown actor…)

The Godfather is the greatest of all Christmas movies. Pivotal scenes in it take place during the holidays and therefore qualify it for the category. Just like Die Hard.  This is why so many people watch it on Christmas, and it's a better movie than Die Hard, 

From CHATgpt:

Why Christmas Matters in The Godfather
Irony: Family, peace, and rebirth vs. betrayal and murder
Catholic symbolism: Christmas → Baptism → sin vs. redemption
Seasonal metaphor: Winter = old power dying, new power rising
Contrast: Warm interiors, cold exteriors — safety vs. danger
