Die Hard is set around an office Christmas Party, thus making it a Christmas adjacent film making it perfectly acceptable to watch for the season.

Die Hard is set around an office Christmas Party, thus making it a Christmas adjacent film making it perfectly acceptable to watch for the season.

“Adjacent” is a more apt definition/connotation and watching it now is perfectly fine, we can agree on that. But Christmas movies are supposed to have at least one Christmas-related lesson in them, and the only lesson in Die Hard is “don’t jump off Nakatomi Plaza in slow motion”. The fact that it’s set at Christmas is a coincidence, not a factor in the movie itself.

I feel the need to confess I've played the computer game but I've never watched Die Hard.

Be a rebel and wait until January to watch it.

Christmas is central to the plot in Die Hard. Hans and the boys deliberately choose the day of the Christmas party for the heist because the building will be low staffed and most people will be in one place.

More than that though, it's a Christmas movie plot. Hard working guy who isn't really looking forward to Christmas has an experience which makes him realise that family and togetherness are the most important things. It even snows at the end, admittedly it's barer bonds rather than snowflakes but it still snows.

I appreciate the commitment to putting your face in an AV while also NOT putting your face in an AV

I don't know, I think you could reasonably argue "love makes us do crazy things" is a pretty standard Xmas film trope and you can't say raiding a building full of terrorist to save a spouse, especially an estranged one, isn't a crazy thing.

I think don’t mess with John McClane’s family is the message

More so, said office Christmas Party takes place on Christmas eve. That's the only thing that's always bugged me about that movie. What kind of fucking company holds their Christmas staff party on Christmas fucking Eve!?!?!?!?

Wankers indeed

I can't say I was overly committed I was probably attempting to be mysterious when I took that about 4 years ago, that pretence has gone now

Like Survivor, I feel like the title is a lie.
