âDie Hardâ (1988)
Terry: Yes, âDie Hardâ is a Christmas movie. Screenwriter Steven E. de Souza has even said so publicly. It also inspired a juvenile copycat (more on that later) and everyone knows its not officially Christmas until Hans Gruber falls from Nakatomi Plaza.
Amanda: Sure, this can be a Christmas movie. But, no, itâs not a movie Iâve ever purposefully turned on.
âA Christmas Storyâ (1983)
Terry: The unquenchable desire for a Red Ryder BB gun, Flick getting his tongue stuck on a flagpole, Scut Farkus finally receiving his comeuppance â Christmas gold.
Amanda: Required viewing around the holidays, especially so you can recognize where that legendary lamp is from in case you get it as a gag gift.
