Glad to see that it has attained a perfect score from the pub. Great work guys. We discussed favorite Christmas movies today with my English class, and Die Hard was decided to be the best Christmas movie.

I'm genuinely surprised when people say that this isn't a Christmas movie, including James in the video above. It seems so obvious to me that it is, I really don't know how to respond.

As they said, at the very least it is a movie set in the Christmas season, like Home Alone.
Not like "Miracle on 34th Street," but Christmas adjacent at the very least.

Right, but if Home Alone is Die Hard for kids, then isn't that basically saying that Die Hard is a Christmas movie? I've never heard anyone say Home Alone isn't a real Christmas movie.

I can agree with you that Rocky might be a stretch for a Christmas movie, but Die Hard is through and through a Christmas movie. It's represented in so many ways and is integral to Die Hard as a movie. I'm sorry, but James doesn't know what he's talking about here. |

Every time I see Die Hard I'm reminded of how good the cinematography was. I don't know if there was some breakthrough in camera lenses in 87-88 but things just started looking really good compared to a lot of mid-80s shows & movies. And that's not to say Die Hard looks good just because of the cameras, because they clearly went to town coming up with all sorts of expensive shots.
And props to Huey Lewis for doing such a good job as one of the badass henchmen.

Did Rickman and Bronson Pinchot ever star together as brothers in an offbeat comedy? If not - criminal. |
