Die Hard (1988) Revisit



I don't understand why people continue to argue whether or not this is a Christmas film. The studios, movie theaters, and audiences, all make it a staple in Revival presentations during the holiday season. Die Hard is absolutely a Christmas movie.

There is plenty of content on this site which already reviews and comments upon the film. As usual a big screen presentation is one of the things that makes the annual viewing of this so special. The Paramount Theater here in Austin clearly recognizes that this is a Christmas movie because they scheduled it as part of their holiday programming. So when you put together our favorite action film with our favorite movie theater at our favorite time of year, do you really expect any negative commentary?

Let's just say that once again John McClane saves Christmas, gets his wife back, and makes Hans Gruber into a falling advent calendar that everyone should have on their Shelf at home. Ho ho ho, oh now I have a machine gun too.
