I would say the reason why Die Hard is a Christmas movie unlike other movies that happen to be set at Christmas is Die Hard keeps reinforcing the fact that it is specifically Christmas eve, it's not just a background detail. In fact, the way he stops Hans Gruber is with Christmas Tape to hide his gun. He literally saves the day with Christmas Tape!

[@elvispressplay7735]

If you can remove Christmas from the equation and it still makes sense, it's not a "Christmas movie". If you remove Christmas from Die Hard, it falls apart. John McClane is only in town because it's Christmas AND the entire robbery plot hinges on lackadaisical police response on account of the holiday. (It also uses Ode to Joy as the main orchestral theme, which is a Christmas song.)

It's a shame that James with his neat display and collection is so hooked on streaming. I'm a physical-media-for-life guy. I have Netflix, but I won't even stream those movies if I own them (unless I only own it on VHS). I like to look through my shelves and pick something, look at it, hold it and then watch it. I like to lend them to people. And I like all those special features that often aren't on streaming. Streaming has lost in my house.

[@AndyGaskin]

The tangential conversation really makes these types of videos fun to watch.

[@dreamlandnightmare]

No, give me physical media. I like the idea that I OWN the video, that it can't be lost through data corruption or accidental deletion, or that the streaming service will take it away from me.

[@derek-64]

i agree. and it's not just movies. it's tv shows when they release individual seasons or a complete series. for example, i have married... with children the complete series on dvd. i also prefer physical with games, music, even books. i want to have the actual product and not just rent something from a digital service that could be shut down.

[@jone7428]

Agreed 1000%! You actually OWN it in the physical world!

[@KuroNoTenno]

But DVDs can break too. Nothing is future-proof. And if you lose either, you can just yaaaar it next time.

[@dreamlandnightmare]

@@KuroNoTenno A physical copy is still far more reliable than something that only exists on a streaming service or digital download. Scratched DVDs/Blu-Ray's can be buffered out and play as good as new. About the only way to permanently damage a disk video is to break it apart.

Bruce Willis probably isn't on the cover because he probably wasn't well known at all in Japan when the game came out. (He wasn't even seen as an action star in the US until after Die Hard came out), and thus having his face on the cover would not help sales in Japan.

Die Hard takes place during a Christmas party. That's different than there being a single scene involving Christmas. Gremlins is also a Christmas movie.

My go-to reason to why Die Hard is a Christmas movie is that it's about family. The film follows a father whom has, partly, lost his family. During the course of the film he gets thrown into a situation and gets a very difficult task. While completing this task he also gets his family back. Am I talking about Die Hard or The Santa Clause?

[@Asako_Gaming]

Die Hard is considered a Christmas movie not because it takes place at Christmas, but because it's a story about a man who just wants to spend Christmas with his family. That's what defines it, the spirit of being with your loved ones at Christmas. The same reasoning applies to the second one. A lot of people don't seem to acknowledge this. If he had no relation to anyone in the hostage situation at Nakatomi or the planes at Dulles airport then it wouldn't be considered a Christmas movie, it would just be another action film.
