It was initially released in February which...you know.,And subject to a couple of lines being altered the plot would work EXACTLY the same if it was set at the Nakatomi Plaza summer rooftop bbq. It is not and never has been a Christmas movie. It's a movie that happens to be set at Christmas
How about Home Alone then? They could have easily set it at another time of year but they didn't because they wanted it to be about Christmas, just like die hard 🤷
How come none of you ever talk about Die Hard 2 being a Christmas movie, even tho' it literally takes place on Christmas Day and is about unexpected miracles?
I count the first two as Christmas movies, but you never asked and it didn't seem necessary to bring it up, but I guess if wanted to avoid being called stupid names...
Hard agree, the Mcallisters could easily have been away on their summer holidays. Christmas contributes to the story and the dialogue, but it's not vital to it.
I don't ask much, I just want to see a remake if Die Hard set at the Summer Tailgate party with almost identical dialogue just to show how right I am 😅
That was before Xmas movies as a big money making genre was really a thing though. Look at same era as Die Hard. Santa Claus the movie, Xmas Vacation, Miracle (Remake), The Santa Clause, Jingle All the Way, Scrooged, Muppets. ALL released in Nov or Dec, which is the established xmas film season now
If it wasn’t Xmas big John mcClane wouldn’t be visiting his wife and 2 daughters, if it was “spring break” he’d have said fuck it I’m working. Spending time with his family at Xmas was the only reason he was there to safe so many innocent lives
Not at all, i sit and watch all the classics at this time of year. I’m a sucker for christmas pj’s and movies. And i always watch Die Hard in Feb, in honour of when it came out 😂😂

I swing the other way on that. Agree to disagree.
Be a wolf, Garrett. Don't be a sheeple.
The actors take means nothing it's he authors opinion that counts
Politics, religion, nothing.

You’re gonna die on this hill defending your beliefs! 🤣🤣
