CrabApples Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 Tis the season to get into arguments with friends, family, and random people on the internet! I say it is not a Christmas film but has become a Christmas tradition. What say you? Vote above and share your thoughts in the comment section below. Don't forget to give this video a like! (I'm joking and will stop now)
Parzival Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 Of course it's a Christmas movie. Is this not a Christmas tree on the right? 1
EjectedCasings Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 Ya know, my parents argue all the time about this... 1
MadMatt Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 Voting yes because it was released in July as a "Christmas in July" movie. That was a big part of the marketing around it. 1
mizTik Posted December 19, 2019 Posted December 19, 2019 Nope. It is not. I don't care what people want to say. The movie is an action classic. Putting it in the Christmas genre is like spitting on the film. Most Christmas movies suck. I refuse to put it in that genre.

Coyote Posted December 19, 2019 Posted December 19, 2019 I don't know why people still argue over this. The whole move is trashed with Christmas joy. If this isn't a Christmas movie then neither is Home Alone.
Parzival Posted December 19, 2019 Posted December 19, 2019 Not only that, it's a family movie, too. Just like Deadpool 2.
redscrew Posted December 20, 2019 Posted December 20, 2019 Voted no. I never saw the film. I honestly just like getting under people's skin with pointless stuff. I have the same argument with my brother over the movie every Christmas. He is yet to win me over on it and get more and more pissed the older he gets. lol 1

I know the basis of it and it is an action film that happens to have Christmas props. It could have happened at a Halloween party and nothing else would have changed in the story. 1

If it would have happened at a sex toy party instead of a Christmas party, then it would be a porno flick.

HIGHHorse Posted December 27, 2019 Posted December 27, 2019 If the story takes place on or around Christmas, it can be considered a Christmas movie, same for every other holiday. Case closed!

I feel like that was nothing but marketing.
Parzival Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 Die Hard is as much of a Christmas movie as Miracle on 34th Street, Jingle All The Way, and Batman Returns are.
BropolloCreed79 Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 Late to the party on this, but there's a tradition in my house: December 23: Trading Places December 24: Die Hard December 25: Daddy's Home 2 (for the kids)

Jingle All The Way deals with the insanity of shopping for Christmas. I don't count the others as Christmas films. I am a bit stubborn with what I classify into these kinds of genres though.

Hell, looks like me every morning I have to get up too early for anything... Work, doctor appointments, holidays... Ugg.
