I made this exact same argument last night. The response was "Home Alone is about like family and holiday stuff and Die Hard is an action movie that just happens to be set at Christmas time"
He's wrong, Die Hard is a Christmas movie

On that note, has anyone seen the Google Assistant Ad with the Macaulay Culkin all grown up? I was half impressed and half freaked out, but he looked way better than a few years ago.
He also did an episode of The Angry Video Game Nerd in the last week. Coming back out in the lime light. Can yall believe that dude got to touch Mila's Kunis back in the day?

I've always read that Google is better for asking questions and Alexa is better for home automation (our primary use). My parents have google and I played with it some and decided to go with Alexa.

Then, by that logic, Christmas Vacation is about Clark and his family gathering that happens to take place during Christmas, but not a Christmas Movie.

Does it end with the materialistic antagonistic realizing the mistakes he has made?
Does it suddenly start snowing at the end of the movie when everyone realizes a reason to celebrate?
Does it take place during the holiday season?
What more do you want? It's a Christmas movie, it has all the checkboxes marked.

Need's to take place in a world where basically no adults believe in Santa even though he is real and delivering gifts every christmas yet these parents never questions "Where did these random santa gifts come from?"

I am personally in the camp that Die Hard is a Christmas movie, however it was recently pointed out to me that Die Hard was released in the middle of July, and not at Christmas. I did not want it to be true, but it is. Regardless, Die Hard, as well as Die Hard 2, will always be Christmas movies to me.

Miracle on 34th Street was released on June 4, 1947.
It's a Wonderful Life was originally scheduled for release in January 1947, and only got a limited December 1946 release to get eligible for that year's awards.
There's probably some other classic Christmas movie from that era that got released at an odd time.

I also have a pic of Bruce Willis holding up the Nakatomi Plaza Xmas Party '88 sweater (photoshopped obviously) from fakebook. Unfortunately, don't know how to embed. Sorry.

Obviously yes. Watch it every year while wrapping gifts. Makes me feel like my struggles aren't that big a deal.
Yes.
next question: Who is the superior son of the strange "Mother Nature and her sons" sub plot in A Year Without a Santa Claus?
Snow Miser... The answer is Snow Miser.
Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. The Bumble is my boy.
He's a 5* for sure
YES!!!
Yes Diehard is a Christmas movie.
Yes
If you consider Home Alone a Christmas movie then you have to consider Die Hard one as well. It's that simple.

Yes I have. Great ad, and I agree he looks almost healthy.
He also did an episode of The Angry Video Game Nerd in the last week. Coming back out in the lime light. Can yall believe that dude got to touch Mila's Kunis back in the day?
Where is the female kunis? Is it on the inside of the leg?
#TeamAlexa
You single-handedly contributed to 40% of their total revenue this year.
Alexa just isnt in the same rink as Google unfortunately. I have both and it isn't even close.
Agreed with this. Also have both and Google is hands down better. Alexa is very limited comparatively speaking
I've always read that Google is better for asking questions and Alexa is better for home automation (our primary use). My parents have google and I played with it some and decided to go with Alexa.
Both are great for home automation and I prefer the Google commands. The issue is that Alexa is a little more obvious on how to set up.
Then, by that logic, Christmas Vacation is about Clark and his family gathering that happens to take place during Christmas, but not a Christmas Movie.
Actually Christmas vacation happens during Christmas Eve, and the days leading up to Christmas Eve.
None of the movie actually takes place on Christmas day.
Ok, so "during Christmas" includes Christmas Eve and the preparations for the DAY. Some would also include the DAY with "during Christmas".
Glad that's sorted.
Bigger question: Is Lethal Weapon a Christmas movie?
I say no. Christmas was not an integral part of Lethal Weapon. However, it is the reason that John Mclane was in the building in the first place.
Die Hard: Yes. It's a Christmas party in the building for crying out loud.
Lethal Weapon: Not so much. Other than very minor things, it doesn't really scream Christmas.

You literally just ruined all of the Santa Clause movies for me (though, they kinda did that on their own)
Speaking of which, look what just dropped today (with your callout being a listed Sin)
The Santa Clause is a great movie and it's a shame they didn't make any sequels.
They've been running it nightly on Freeform (fka ABC Family)
we watched it the other night. Still holds up, despite Tim Allen's monumental overacting
I sense sarcasm in this statement.
boy do i have great news for you
You think any of the adults in die hard believes in santa? For the kids and presents, well they are off screen.
Die Hard is a Christmas movie in the same sense that Miracle is about the Russian hockey team
So you'd say Die Hard is a movie feat. Christmas but not a Christmas movie
If Die Hard is a Christmas movie, Trading Places is a Christmas movie, and that movie is better anyways.
It'd be a real Christmas movie if it had Sam Elliott.
Like Prancer.
EDIT: It reads a bit harsh, but good grief.
Every ridiculous stupid time wasting debate we have on TKP and this is the one that bothers you?
You obviously are not familiar with football offseason, this is nothing compared to what is in store post bowl games...

Yes.
What kind of question is this? It's as much a Christmas movie as Home Alone, Christmas Vacation and Gremlins!
That's Gremlins 2, not Gremlins.
I've never seen Die Hard all the way through...

Now I have a machine gun.
Ho ho ho
My wife who watches Christmas movies nonstop for like two months says it's a Christmas movie, therefore it is.
