>Die Hard: Polling Group Survey Shows Americans Do Not Consider Film to Be Christmas-Themed
>Public Policy Polling released the survey results Tuesday. Of the 1,267 voters, 62 percent do not think "Die Hard" is a Christmas movie. The 1988 film's plot occurs on Christmas Eve.
Have I just been wrong my entire life in thinking it was the best Christmas holiday film? Or is it society who is wrong?

Society is wrong obviously.
literally reddit

It's not. Its a movie that takes place during Christmas but its not a Christmas movie, in the same way that Groundhog Day is not a movie about weather prediction.
Being set around/during Christmas does not a Christmas movie make.
Die Hard is not ABOUT Christmas -- either its historical background, or its traditions. Christmas is merely the setting.
I'm sorry you're stupid.

Does that mean It's a Wonderful Life isn't a Christmas movie? It takes place on on Christmas Eve but isn't about Christmas.
Google seems to think it's a Christmas movie, same with Gremlins.

So Independence Day isn't about Independence day. Just happens that the aliens are defeated on July 4th, since it doesn't include Independence Day themes like freedom, explosions, and celebrations.

Christmas music, Christmas setting, characters acting for the good of others. Everyone who rejects the spirit of Christmas (Ellis, takagi) being punished. How many bells were used in the ost? A bunch
The Gremlins went o'caroling.

Quite a lot of people outside of the US think it's a Christmas movie.

/thread.
This is my same argument for why Home Alone isn't a christmas movie

Christmas is an American holiday, so they get the final say.

Just because christmas today is about red and white and CONSUMERISM doesn't mean it wasn't about religious ideals when AWL was released

COMMIT FUCKING SUICIDE.

It's clearly society in the wrong here. It's the quintessiential Christmas action film. What other Christmas films are like that? It's just a different take on the Christmas film.
>>64011405
Just because it takes place during Christmas doesn't make it a Christmas movie.

>Just because it takes place during WW2, doesn't make Saving Private Ryan a WW2 movie
>>64011405
It should be a worldwide pol. Never met anyone in the UK who wouldn't all it a proper crimbo flick
It's not a Christmas movie because there is no snow.
>>64011405
Americans are retarded, what else is knew. It's a fucking Christmas film, saying it isn't is like saying Home Alone isn't a Christmas film.
