constitutes a proper holiday movie is almost as contentious as the inevitable annual love/hate debate over sprouts or Christmas pudding.To find out more, we spoke to some die-hard Die Hard fans to find out what they love so much about the film that even Rotten Tomatoes has labelledAdvertisement“His ex-wife is called Holly! I mean c’mon!”“Die Hard starts with that most Christmas of all elements: The office party,” says Kaleem. “It’s all about love. Kind of.
“The debate centres around whether or not blood, machine guns and death can be counted as a Christmas film, as this is not particularly family friendly . I would point to another classic Christmas movie to support my argument that Die Hard is indeed a Christmas movie. “People feel so strongly about it. It’s like marmite where your opinion is polarised: everyone loves a good argument at Christmas!
“In Die Hard there’s no moral message, other than the bad guys lose, but that’s the same for all action films. Don’t get me wrong, I do love the film, even with all of its mistakes , but killing someone and then writing ‘ho ho ho now I have a machine gun,’ is just not in the Christmas spirit.”20th Century Fox
