If Die Hard is not, then neither is It's a wonderful life. As the story and plot would still work even if the setting was not christmas. It just so happens to be Christmas when he decides to do so. |

Depends on your take on Christmas. It's definitely my kinda Christmas movie. That and Bad Santa and such. Not the sugary, rot your teeth, misty eyed crap prevalent in the genre. But that's just me, I guess.  |

This was a very diplomatic answer.

Set at Christmas? Check
Lots of use of decorations? Check
Christmas music? Check
Lots of dialogue relating to Christmas? Check
Feature a ‘Christmas miracle’? Check
Main plot focuses on family reunion? Check
Snow? Not quite, but falling paper money made to resemble snow while ‘Let it Snow’ plays over it
It’s a Christmas film. Really wish people would stop pretending it isn’t, “cuz guns”. |

An ex used to have a thing for Bruce Willis and bald guy in general. One night I got into bed and whispered "yippie ki yay mother fucker" into her ear. She felt the white vest I was wearing and jumped straight on top of me.

I think it is, but I guess it depends what each individual deems to be a Christmas film.
It's set at Christmas, it has Christmas music, the story line only makes sense at Christmas and it gets watched a lot at Christmas.
It's much more of a Christmas film than It's a Wonderful Life, which many people think 'is' a Christmas film.
However, that is mostly not set at Christmas, Christmas doesn't play a pivital role in the story and the only reason it was often played at Christmas was the owners forgot to renew the rights to it, so it ended up being free for TV stations to show and help them fill out their Christmas schedules. |

Also to mention it is woefully depressing tragedy, that is darker than Die hard. |

It's set on Christmas movie, set on Christmas eve at a Christmas party as a father tries to see his family for.. Wait for it.... Christmas!
It couldn't be any more Christmassy, unless Hans Gruber landed in a sleigh when he was hopped off the 42nd floor of Nakatomi plaza 
Ho ho ho!  |

Yep.
If it's not a Christmas film, then neither is Home Alone as the same story could have easily been told around a summer holiday. Christmas is even less important to that film than Die Hard. |

Yup, it's a Christmas film. The fundamental crux of the terrorists attacking then is key as the it's the only time security is lax for the building.
McClane is coming to visit his family, whos wife is called Holly, for goodness sake.
The underlying message is the theme of love and family, which cannot be better demonstrated than the way it's the release of the expensive watch Holly is given by Ellis, that sends Hans plummeting to his doom. Love triumphs over material possessions.
It is more worthy of being a Christmas film than Home Alone, because as someone said above, the plot of a kid being left home could happen at numerous points throughout the year. |

for many years i've whatched Die Hard movie on Christmas , but my classic election Christmas movies is The Legend with Tim Curry ,Tom Cruise and Mia Sara but my favourite caracter was Oona played by Alice Playten , other movie is The Nerverending Story , none of this movies is really related to Christmad but i don't know why i still watching this two movies on Christmas days , maybe because brings nostalgic memories when Christmas was a special happy day as a child |

"It's a Christmas film
You are incorrect on this, KC.
Negative. It's definitely a Christmas film because Amazon Prime has it under their Christmas film category *nods*"
doesn't mean Amazon Prime, or Sky for that matter, mean they are correct. This film was never released at Christmas time. It was never meant to be one.
It's violent action film classed as an action thriller that just happens to set at Christmas eve

I first saw Die Hard during one of my better Christmas periods, family and friends, decent parties and romance in the air. So watching the film brings back those happy memories as a photo album of memories can.
I saw Lethal Weapon (another disputed Christmas Film) one Christmas with the love of my life, she and me are no longer together but when we both sat down to watch it one Christmas Eve I still remember watching it with her, in a dingy little flat, sharing a bottle of wine. So it’s familiar plot and endless rewatching over Christmas gives me some comfort now I’m predominantly on my own.
So for me they are Christmas films and I’ll enjoy those two this weekend |

"Some people have a funny idea of what Christmas really is "
Christmas is open to interpretation. It only really exists because back in the roman empire they wanted a new Christian celebration to push out the pagan celebration of winter solstice.
Is it to celebrate the birth of a fictional character (who was not even born in December)?
Is it about making capitalism even stronger by going out and buying all sorts of shite?
Is it about giving and receiving gifts?
Bottom line is, Christmas is different to everyone. For some it is not even a thing. People are free to view it however they wish. |

Gruber's gang in Die Hard needed the reduced security and number of employees in the building for a nighttime Christmas party for them to get into the building easier, but they also needed enough employees at the party to create a hostage situation that would get the FBI out so they could turn off the power, letting them drill into the vault.
You take Xmas out and they don't have their opportunity to make their heist. And again, McClane is in that building specifically because it's Christmas to see his wife and kids at christmas because its Christmas time.
Best explanation for it, therefor its a Christmas movie haha |
