    I don't look at Die Hard as a Xmas movie like I do Its a Wonderful Life, I just like watching it during the holidays because it has a Xmas theme and anything that has a Xmas theme seems to be on during the holidays (not to mention its a heck of a movie)

    Next thing you'll say is Lethal Weapon isn't a Christmas movie.

    Well, IT IS!

    Think of it this way....

    There are comedy Christmas movies.... there are romance Christmas movies... there are heartfelt Christmas movies.... there are children's Christmas movies...

    if there ever was an action Christmas movie......well, that's Die Hard.

    I guess by your standards Ghostbusters II isn't a Christmas movie either?

    Sheesh, where do we find these posters

    me too - actually, trading places might be my all-time favorite movie. i also think its the best movie about the "american experience" - it touches on so many issues - class, race, money, power, wall street.

    I Vote no.

    Why: Who changes? Who evolves into a more loving good human?

    Christmas Carol
    Trading Places
    A Christmas Story
    Christmas Vacation

    Those are Christmas movies
    Die Hard? Its a movie that takes place around Christmas time
