    Yes.

    I feel that there have to be other criteria than "it takes place on/around Christmas" to calling something a "Christmas ______"

    That would mean Harry Potter isn't a christmas movie then, I just can't accept that reality if that's the case.

    It's also funny that this is in the GIF thread, since this seems like the time where it was discovered that the guy who invented the Graphics Interchange Format pronounces its abbreviation incorrectly.

    Yeah, something like an estranged father overcoming adversity and trying to reunite with his family just in time for Christmas, something like that

    it takes place over the whole year though and christmas is but a small portion

    Die Hard takes place exclusively on christmas

    I guess I've never heard the argument that die hard wouldn't be considered a christmas movie

  • EncEnc A Fool with Compassion Pronouns: He, Him, HisRegistered User regular
    I'm firmly in the Die Hard as a christmas movie camp.

    Because he's got a machine gun ho ho ho

    and more seriously because it came out at christmas and many action films do and I associate films with the season they are released.

    It came out in July.

  • JavenJaven Registered User regular
    I feel I should clarify that the time a movie was released doesn't really matter for whether it should be considered a christmas movie.

    A Miracle on 34th Street, a movie often seen as the quintessential christmas movie, was released in June.

    I went back and checked, and what the hell. None of them came out at Christmas. But we went and saw them at a local theater every year at Christmas each year they came out. Like, that is a well established family thing we did that my sister and I talk about all the time.

    I guess it was just a local theater doing some rerun stuff?

    Yeah, the holiday season didn't used to (or maybe still isn't) great for first-run movies, so a lot of theaters would show halloween movies around halloween, and christmas movies around christmas, instead of just having empty cinemas.

    All of this is just more evidence that Die Hard is a Christmas movie.

    It would have cracked me up if he was like "DIE HARD IS NOT A CHRISTMAS MOVIE!!!! .....But Die Hard 2 is. "

  • JavenJaven Registered User regular
    The main determination of 'is this a christmas thing' is probably 'do most people experience thing during the christmas season?' So if Die Hard wasn't a christmas movie before, the argument against appears to be getting tougher to make each year.

    when I first saw that image I didn't know who the guy was, and the sign/situation is so perfectly ironic that I absolutely could not believe it wasn't satire.
