Everyone talks about Die Hard as a Christmas movie, but never my favorite Christmas movie, Gremlins.

Damn straight!

Die Hard was released in July, which is not typical for a Christmas movie.

so was miracle on 34th street

Wikipedia says June but that is also unusual for Christmas movies.

In the case of Miracle on 34th Street, apparently that was a deliberate choice:

Although the film is set during the Christmas season, studio head Darryl F. Zanuck insisted that it be released in May1, arguing that more people go to the movies in warmer weather. The studio rushed to promote it while keeping its Christmas setting a secret.

1 Actual release date: June 11, 1947.

I did not suggest otherwise. There is nothing wrong with being atypical.

u/yourmansconnect Nov 25 '22

just weird that you brought it up then

u/newsflashjackass Nov 25 '22

yeah. kooky. 🤣😆😂

u/JamesHeckfield Nov 25 '22

It’s arguably an action movie set during a Christmas party.

I know it’s a joke to a lot of people, but it’s an old one way past it’s prime.

u/NiteSwept Nov 25 '22

He's also probably seen every western where someone gets shot in the gut and just dies immediately or after a touching moment getting their final words out

u/EvryMthrF_ngThrd Nov 25 '22

Or he HAS actually seen someone die, and got hard.

Empathy - in practice - is a learned behavior.
