Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 It was originally released in the summer, so I'd say no. But it's a perfect antidote to all the schmaltzy saccharine Christmas family crap you'd otherwise get shoved down your throat on Christmas. So yay!

crocodile 8,052 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 One reason "for" is that it is a very family-centric love story as well. Falling in love for the second time works in any heartwarming festive flick. Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marian Schedenig 8,240 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 It's not exclusively a Christmas movie, and possibly not even intended to be one. But there are enough Christmas references to it (in the plot, dialogue and music) for people around the world to recognise it as a Christmas movie, so it obviously is one.

Trent B 337 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 I consider it a Christmas movie. If there's time after Lia and I get home from one of my brothers tonight we'll be watching it. I watch it every Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,627 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 No, I never considered it a Christmas movie. Probably in the minority on this, but to me it's just a pulsating, 80s action movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,493 Posted December 25, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 25, 2018 The Christmas Movie genre for me is reserved for movies that can really only be enjoyed specifically around that holiday. This includes Dr. Seuss's Grinch cartoon from the 60s, Home Alone and of course the remake of Miracle on 34th Street with John Williams. Movies set around Christmas like Die Hard and Batman II can be viewed any time of year. John, mstrox and SteveMc 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
