(I also consider Meet Me In St. Louis a Christmas movie although there is really only one {truly beautiful} Christmas scene in the entire movie that really takes place mostly in the summertime.) <br/><br/>And I think that the argument could be made that it is even a feel-good Christmas movie because the good guy wins in the end... <br/><br/>BUT it is NOT on my list of holiday movies to see this year like On Moonlight Bay, Meet Me in St. Louis, Last Holiday, The Holiday, or the stand-by classic cartoon...the Grinch.<br/><br/>Beautiful post today...even if it has gotten lost in the comments...<br/>smiles! hmmmm, Alison, I may have to abandon the sisterhood and agree with the guys on this one.

BUT it is NOT on my list of holiday movies to see this year like On Moonlight Bay, Meet Me in St. Louis, Last Holiday, The Holiday, or the stand-by classic cartoon…the Grinch.

Beautiful post today…even if it has gotten lost in the comments…
smiles!

A nerve must've been struck to make one so defensive. <br/><br/>Too bad you men didn't convince me. Oooooh, you’ve played the “fraught” card. A nerve must’ve been struck to make one so defensive.

Too bad you men didn’t convince me.

And, Die Hard is INDEED a Christmas movie. Its frought with Christmas music, it takes place at a Christmas party, and several references are made to the jolly sound St. Nick makes. What more evidence do you require? I have it on good authority that John McClaine drank coffee. And, Die Hard is INDEED a Christmas movie.

I've seen <i>Sixteen Candles</i> before, and I'm proud to say that I don't remember anything from that movie. Since I can't remember it, I don't think it counts.<br/><br/>Plus you saw <i>Die Hard</i> before you started drinking coffee. That just proves that your tastes and opinions have improved, so you'd probably see the Christmas spirit inside the masterpiece that is <i>Die Hard</i> now. Once you drink coffee, nothing in your life stays the same. :-) Have you seen it, or have you seen it?

All other arguements I could make about it being a Christmas movie would fall on deaf ears since, well, you've never seen it. ;-) I’ll post later about the serious part of your post (which is the whole point of it), but I do have to point out the fallacies of your arguement about Die Hard.
