Don't be angry Paul @PaulTra It's not about Christmas, it just happens to be set at Christmas time.
Was Jaws a Forth of July movie?![]()
Nah, he was saving the passengers on the plane after the bad guy fiddled with the glide system, he was saving the airport, he was saving humanity in general. He wasn't just saving a Christmas party. That's like saying Jaws was about Quint saving that one beach; he was saving humanity.Apples to oranges comparison. Jaws happened to take place during the Fourth of July. Die Hard is about one man saving a Christmas party from terrorist.

ETA: Let's not hi-jack Brandon's thread. You can PM me and we will debate it for a fiver?![]()
no, keep posting. I don't think it is a Christmas movie either. Just because it happens at that time does not mean it is automatically tied to the holiday.Nah, he was saving the passengers on the plane after the bad guy fiddled with the glide system, he was saving the airport, he was saving humanity in general.

Merry Christmas to you as well Paul. My son and I used to watch "A Christmas Story" ( a real Christmas movie1) I let it go to help preserve Brandon's thread.
2) I know better than to debate when both of our heels are dug in on this matter and neither side will likely budge.
3) It's all a matter of opinion so neither side will ever be truly right or wrong
4) My father and I love watching Die Hard together around this time of the year and it will continue to be a Christmas time tradition when he's long gone
5) Merry Christmas, Jeff. Ho Ho Ho
We love A Christmas Story as well!Merry Christmas to you as well Paul. My son and I used to watch "A Christmas Story" ( a real Christmas movie) back to back all day on Thanksgiving day. Keep that tradition going, it's what family is all about!
Now, back to the thread.
You don't have to budge to be wrong. A Christmas time movie and a Christmas movie are not the same thing.1) I let it go to help preserve Brandon's thread.
