If Die Hard is the the greatest Christmas movie, then obviously Christmas Story does not exist. If that were the case, perhaps I would have realized that Lethal Weapon took place around Christmas time. Only then could I provide a logical response to your proposition. As Christmas Story does exist, it will be broadcast for all 24-hours starting at 8pm on Christmas Eve. Don't see anyone else watching Die Hard or Lethal Weapon for 24 hours straight.

I should have worded it more clearly. For the people (which there are many) who rank Die Hard #1...
And Lethal Weapon opens with 'Jingle Bell Rock' and a cop car crashes right through Danny Glover's living room & Christmas tree.
A Christmas Story, White Christmas, It's a wonderful life...maybe a (non-colorized) Miracle on 42nd street every year. That's my grown-up Christmas movie list.
What puts Die Hard (and Lethal Weapon) off of the list is that you can watch and enjoy them any time of the year. Can you imagine watching a Christmas Story in July? Inconceivable! (Obviously you watch The Princess Bride in July)

Elf hit all the beats of a great Christmas movie - family togetherness, anti-commercialism, childlike wonder - and did it all with a clever & very funny story.
Kinda silly all around, carried of course by Bill Murray in all his goofy brilliance...but if you don't get misty eyed during his speech at the end, and then when the little mute kid finally speaks, you just don't have a pulse.

Not sure if serious? Misty eyed over Scrooged. I guess I don't have a pulse - then again I didn't shed tears over dinner with my wife when Eli got benched either.

Silent Night Deadly Night 1 and 2
All the others are just mealy mouthed pretenders.
If a station showed either movie for 24 hours straight, I most certainly would...
While this may be true...
Sister got something eerily similar for my youngest son two years ago
And this year, the boy is getting this
...I bet you're not getting your kid no stinkin' robot building of Nakatomi Plaza.

I like this argument. Well done.
There's arguments, we'll put you in the 62% of a recent poll but...

We watch the standards every year, but one that doesn't show up on many lists that I've always loved is Family Man with Nick Cage and Tea Leoni.
Die Hard? I never even considered that a Christmas movie.
But have you seen the full version?
The Lost ending to Its a Wonderful - ( New Window )
"Your husband ain't dead lady......he's hiding!"
Christmas Story. Home Alone Die Hard are all really hard to choose from. Never mind the cartoons
LOL
