I'm not sure if I have ever even seen it fully

[–] FeelzGoodMan420@eviltoast.org 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Duh. It's the best Christmas movie too.

[–] theherk@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I mean… Christmas Vacation?

Yes - but more importantly, I am so happy reading the rest of the comments here: I've truly found my people.

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Not really.

[–] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 0 points 1 week ago

What are we agreeing in?

[–] 1985MustangCobra@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 week ago

No, because I have never watched it.

Absolutely a Christmas movie

If the only thing a Christmas movie takes is being set on or around Christmas, Batman Returns and Eyes Wide Shut are Christmas movies. Oppenheimer has a Christmas scene, is that a Christmas movie too? Clearly there's a line somewhere.

Never understood where that came from. Definitely not a Christmas movie for me.

[–] Platypus@lemmings.world 1 points 1 week ago

The whole McClaine takedown of the terrorist is a Xmas miracle

Wrong. As I have said in a similar conversation:

I’m going to argue that Die Hard is NOT a Christmas movie. It’s simply a movie where the events within it, happen to take place around Christmas time.

Die Hard is to Christmas movies what Top Gun is to romance movies, or what Casablanca is to war movies. Just because it contains a thing, doesn’t mean it’s about said thing.

If the b plot wasn't family reconciliation I'd agree.

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world -3 points 1 week ago

Okay, step away from the crack pipe, and nobody gets hurt.
