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.

[@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.)

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.

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.
