The debate over whether Die Hard is a Christmas film has raged on for years, but Vue Cinemas have finally settled the argument once and for all leaving many people surprised
With just a few days left until Christmas Day, many of us are preparing for a cosy weekend filled with festive film marathons. But what will you be watching? Maybe you've got classics like Miracle on 34th Street on your list, or you might be a fan of comedies like Elf or festive rom-coms like Love Actually.
It seems to be the most contentious film when it comes to its status as a festive feature, and no matter how many people argue about it, the topic resurfaces each year. One leading cinema chain, Vue Cinemas, is now aiming to settle the debate once and for all. Their initial point notes that Christmas trees are visible throughout the 1988 classic, which follows Bruce Willis's character, John McClane, heading to Los Angeles for a festive reunion with his estranged wife, only to find himself amid a hostage crisis at her office's Christmas party.
To bolster their case, Vue mentions countless Christmas decorations peppering the scenes, underscoring the yuletide setting of the narrative. While it's undisputable the film unfolds during Christmas, there remains contention over its classification as a bona fide Christmas film, considering the festivities aren't integral to the plot and it lacks the child-friendly hallmark of seasonal cinema.
