'Die Hard' Is a Christmas Movie, and Here's Why
« on: December 09, 2018, 02:09:37 pm »
Here are six reasons I'm right and these haters are not:

1. John McClane travels cross-country in hopes that the spirit of Christmas will save his family

2. McClane gives gifts to the good girls and boys, and solemn judgment to the rest

3.   Sure, Die Hard came out in July, but Miracle on 34th Street premiered in May.



4.  "NOW I HAVE A MACHINE GUN. HO HO HO."
Um, remind me... Who says, "Ho ho ho"? Who wears a Santa hat? Is it the Easter Bunny? Is it Uncle Sam? Sorry, Scrooges. Wrong again.

5."Christmas in Hollis." Ahem
It does, however, feature Run DMC's "Christmas in Hollis." I had to look that up

6. His wife's name is Holly. I rest my case.

Yes it is a Xmas Movie:

It's not Christmas until Hans Gruber falls off the Nakatomi Plaza Building.
"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn
