Is ‘Die Hard’ A Christmas Film?

[sp1814]

I features loads of Christmas imagery, but was originally released in the summer.

Where do you stand?

[sp1814]

Ahem...’It features’.

[jno]

any chance of watching Alan Rickman may be regarded as a Christmas bonus. Perhaps it was originally released in Australia?

[Rockrose]

Yes of course it is

[retrocop]

No less than The Great Escape that no one could escape for about 20 continuous years.

[paisleylass]

Yes it is. And it's my favourite Christmas film. Can't be doing with all the sappy ones.

[ChillDoubt]

Totally.

[sp1814]

I have severe doubts. I may happen at Christmas, but does it fill us with the Christmas spirit?

So what offends you about it SP

If I told you to go away and die, I’d feel bad.

Few of us actually celebrate the Christian festival of Christmas , as in a celebration the birth of Christ. Most of us celebrate the much older pagan festival of Yuletide. Yuletide celebrates the return of Spring .

While I like it, it feels like cheating to include it.

In Bruges - now there's a proper Christmas film. ;)

[emmie]

i won't be watching it, saw it at the movies and that was enough for one go.

Where do you stand?



Where's couldn't give a *** muster point?

[ummmm]

Elf is my favourite.

[murraymints]

ELF is the bestest christmas film EVER

[EDDIE51]

The only real Christmas (Christ Mass) films are those that celebrate the birth of Christ.

[ummmm]

Eddie, do you think we don't know that?

[MallyJ]

I am really sick of seeing the so called xmas films being repeated over and over again...honestly most are rubbish...and much as I enjoyed Die Hard, Home Alone etc etc the first time or two I really can't be bothered with them. I think it smacks of the tv channels showing that they simply can't be bothered to sort out something different..

Where do I stand? Hopefully not on the broken glass that Bruce Willis’s bare feet walked on in that movie! I’ve never forgotten that!

Eddie, //Few of us actually celebrate the Christian festival of Christmas , as in a celebration the birth of Christ. Most of us celebrate the much older pagan festival of Yuletide.//

Not strictly true. Most people have no idea about Pagan festivals. They associate Yuletide only with Christmas – and that’s what they celebrate.

As 'feel good' Christmas films go, I like "Love Actually".
