    People say Die Hard is Christmas movie because people are so fucking tired of the same rehashed Christmas movies that get played in repeat every year. I like Elf but I’ve seen it enough.

    Same with Christmas music. I’m tired of this boomer era shit starting in October.

      Violent Night is going to be a Christmas tradition of ours. I also checked out Fatman this year.

        My girlfriend said the same thing. Not a masterpiece but a fun lil movie to break the monotony of regular holiday movies.

        Ooooor when I was a kid I’d always put it on during christmas time because it was both A) Not claymation Rudolph again for the third time this month, and B) it DOES take place at a cristmas party so I could count it. Also Gremlins and Nightmare Before Christmas both got halloween time plays and christmas time plays, sue me.

      If you enjoy “if you _____ it means you have no personality” articles it means you have no personality.

      Unfortunately it’s not. People are so desperate to engage with others about pop culture and not have to face the horrible truth about the world we live in, that they really lean into stupid irrelevant debates about whether or not a movie is a Christmas movie.

      It’s great that as Lemmy users, we’re above such trivial nonsense and would never waste multiple minutes debating with strangers about any of this piff.

    Okay but why aren’t some of these Christmas season movies? I think narnia really isn’t that big of a stretch

    It really depends on whether you can stomach watching Kevin Spacey or not, but The Ref is one of the greatest Christmas movies imo

    🤷‍♀️ I don’t enjoy traditional Christmas movies that much and I think it’s fun to do something different.

    There are 8 billion of us, it’s pretty tough to say something original all the time.

    Sorry, Onion, some of these literally have Christmas in their titles. That’s a stretch, even for you. XD

    Die hard should have been on one and not lethal weapon. Other than that I think those are excellent choices.

    “get a personality” and “that’s your whole personality” is just lazy writing. it’s a generic insult deployed against anyone who likes a thing that says nothing about the person or the thing. it’s the satire equivalent to “vegan bad”. why should I read an article written by someone who makes parroting bland criticisms from the internet their whole personality?

    “No, the only Christmas movies are movies I SAY are Christmas movies!” ~ Dan Rice / Chat GPT

    Imagine caring what other people consider a holiday movie? Dan sounds like a miserable person who will go through your movie collection and call them all horse shit and demand you and your group watch a 4 hour movie about a woman brushing a horse and proclaiming It to be true art.

    I stopped reading at his banal prologue. Don’t invite Dan over for movie night, for he is armed with a Chat Bot and a thesaurus.
