AIBU to think Die Hard is a Christmas movie, and to have enjoyed watching it for the umpteenth time?

[IclimbedSnowdon]

DH was out last night, so I watched one of my favourite Christmas movies, Die Hard. I've always liked this film, and consider it to be a Christmas film so usually try to watch it during the run up to Christmas.

DH arrived home before it finished, and couldn't believe I was watching it again. He also says it is not a Christmas movie.

AIBU to enjoy watching this film once a year, and to think it definitely is a Christmas movie?

It is a Christmas film. YANBU. Although Bruce Willis says it's NOT a christmas film!!

It definitely is, and I'm hoping to squeeze in a rewatch before Christmas. Saw most of Die Hard 2 yesterday as it was on TV, and that is also a Christmas movie!

It's the greatest Christmas film of all time and anyone who says otherwise is a grinch.

Bruce Willis sneaks around a tower a lot night, avoiding Alan Rickman.

It's a Harry Potter movie!

Love the movie, I personally don't consider it a Christmas film.

It's definitely a Christmas film and it's the best!

Set at a Christmas party, John is only there to spend Christmas with his family. He saves the day because of Christmas wrapping paper and tape.

Now I have a machine gun, ho-ho-ho.

Your DH is wrong.

There are two kinds of people. Those who think that Die Hard is a Christmas movies, and those who are wrong.

Definitely a Christmas film. But one which can be enjoyed any time of the year.

100%

Yes, absolutely. As is Die Hard 2

DH1&2 are Christmas films (DH3 is not).
Love watching 1&2 in the run up to Christmas but as I have them on DVD I get to see the unedited versions instead of the ones which have been chopped around to appeal to modern audiences.
Likewise Love Actually and many other films & series from a few years ago, watching the DVD gives you the whole experience knowing you are not missing bits which are now deemed un-PC.

YABU for starting up this tired old debate again

Course it is.

And Die Hard 2 is the only other good Christmas film.

It's definitely a Christmas movie. I watch it when I wrap presents! It's my annual tradition

It is a Xmas film

the writers confirmed it

Definitely a Christmas film

This feels like the right thread to share a photo of my advent calendar 😁 It is totally a Christmas movie, and we will be watching it on the 23rd, followed by Die Hard 2 on Christmas Eve!

I am the 3rd kind of person and have never watched it, so don't know.

It's definitely a Christmas movie and my favorite.

I've never seen any of them! Are they good?

I'm off to watch it at our local cinema on the 22nd. We usually see It's a Wonderful Life but that was fully booked. I will still feel festive after Die Hard but in a very different way.

It's not Christmas in our house until Hans has fallen off the Nakatomi Plaza.

Well, we usually watch Bleak House, and I’m not sure most people would regard that as festive! 😳 whatever you enjoy….
