I think many of us would agree that Die Hard is the best "sort of" a Christmas movie. So I'm making a list of the other borderline Christmas movies and we'll see what the masses have to say about what other movies should count. Please vote for all movies that you think should count as a Christmas movie.
If you think none of them should count post below.

Gremlins is my only vote here. I get no Christmas vibes when I watch Die Hard, to be honest.

These three and add Lethal Weapon, which opens to Jingle Bell Rock and ends with a car crashing into a Christmas tree just after Gary Busey shoots a TV and yells "it's the day of Christmas"...(I think he was finishing a line in whatever version of A Christmas Carol was playing but still)

Gremlins gets my vote from that list, but nothing else.

Not a great list or poll, quite frankly.

The only 'Christmas' movie I own that's somewhat normal is 'Bad Santa'.
The others are from the '50s-'60s...'Santa Claus Conquers The Martians' and a Mexican movie by Rene Cardona called 'Santa Claus', sometimes called 'Santa Claus vs The Devil'. |

You need a "none of the above" option

Now all we need is a low-budget indie horror slasher film about a man who goes on a rampage against all those who dare to hang up Christmas lights or play Christmas music before Thanksgiving.

Die Hard is if only for the select group of people that get annoyed if you say it is.

I swear Christmas movies were discussed in another thread more recently, but search (and my laziness) let me down. Anyway, add Tangerine to the list of xmas classics. Can't believe it was shot on an iPhone 5, what am I doing with my life?
