At last week’s Rifftrax Live event (if you don’t know about these, you should) they, as usual, had gag pre-movie trivia cards. At this event they were all holiday themed: Christmas trivia, tips, etc.
One Christmas tip was: “If someone tells you their favorite Christmas movie is “Die Hard”, and you refuse to engage them in this quirky and unconventional choice…their face will melt like that guy from Raiders of the Lost Ark”.
Now I know what a TV dinner feels like.
So we just finished watching our annual Christmas-season viewing of Die Hard 2. We’ve also covered Die Hard and It’s a Wonderful Life. Sometime by New Year’s we’ll watch Bad Santa. If we could watch Lethal Weapon, the season would be complete, but we tossed out our VHS tape when we got rid of the tape player.
In what has become a small holiday tradition I am resurrecting this thread for another season of further discussion.
I think the Turner Movie Channel or whatever it’s called just recently had a holiday screening. The first two, I think. Back to back.
No, never mind. It was that other Christmas franchise, Lethal Weapon, that they showed. My bad.
As a million memes testify “It’s just not Christmas until Hans Gruber falls from the Nakatomi building”

While I believe it, I’ve never seen one meme along those lines.
Didja know there’s a new sequel?: Bad Santa 2 - Wikipedia
And Die Hard still isn’t a Christmas movie.
It’s showing here now but by all accounts is dreadful. The original was produced by the Coen Brothers, wasn’t it? I don’t think they were involved with this one. We’ll probably pass it up.
Die Hard is a Christmas movie, one of the better ones.
And so full of holiday cheer!
That part always brings a tear to my jaded eye.
Bah Humbug, out with you!
I’m just wondering if my 8 and 10 year old are now old enough to watch this year.
It will be a sad viewing this year, what with 2016 taking out Alan Rickman in its unrelenting march of destruction.
But I will watch it (and the Very Brady Christms special), just a little more wistfully.
One is filled with action, gore, violence, cursing, and brief nudity. The other stars Bruce Willis.
You are, of course, welcome to your opinion, wrong as it may be.
I’ll say it’s a Christmas movie when they release a special edition with an animated wise-cracking elf edited in, voiced by Joe Pesci I suggest.
YouTube, Kickstarter, make it happen.
It’s that time of year (wow Thanksgiving is early). As I’ve done for the last couple of years at this time, I have resurrected this thread to see if there’s further discussion. Given another recent thread, I think maybe there is?
