      I think next week's Cinemassacre Rental Review should be 1985's Santa Claus: The Movie starring David Huddleston, Dudley Moore and John Lithgow! Appropriate that it will be the last before Christmas!

    It’s been our family tradition to watch Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, and Christmas Vacation for the last 30yrs. Even if no one is watching it, it’s playing in the background during our Christmas party. Thanks to my parents who believe Die Hard is the greatest Christmas movie of all time, so I was raised with Die Hard lol

      That's cool, it usually plays around the holidays here in the US (you're likely to see it any time of year though) but not so much that I think it's become a big Christmas movie. It's a pretty classic/popular comedy in general though.

      It's such an interesting subject if you think about it

  • @RetroRulzMyTown
    @RetroRulzMyTown 2 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    To be honest, I still consider it a Christmas movie, but in the case of them saying the movie isn't SUPER tied to Christmas, that's honestly what makes the movie special like Trading Places and Lethal Weapon. The movies' holiday details make them a fun seasonal watch, but not SO distracting that watching them out of season feels wrong. They're movies you can watch anytime, but have that seasonal bonus when watched on the holidays. To me, instead of the examples they gave, they should've gone more with something like Toy Story or Ted.

There are things that you are interested in and in which others are not interested in. And they don’t constantly comment things like “Who cares about this.”. At least I don’t do this. So why do you? Interests of people should respected! If you don’t care that’s fine. But why do you invest time to bother other people that care about it?

  • @FBIimprov
    @FBIimprov 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Not only is Die Hard a Christmas movie, it thrives on the very aspect of what the holiday spirit really is supposed to be about: John McClane is trying to protect the one he loves. If that doesn't epitomize sappy Christmas morals, I don't know what does lol. Regardless, I watch alot of different Christmas specials around this time, each with their own unique message; Die Hard among them, but not exclusive :)
