This Is Why We at IMAO Maintain That Die Hard Is a Christmas Movie

Scott Beggs, from his “20 Best Christmas Movies” post at Mental Floss:

Not merely set during Christmastime, John McClane’s harrowing rescue of his wife’s office mates is a bit like an action version of Ebenezer Scrooge. He starts off cranky and hateful of the season but remembers the true value of love and kindness after being visited by multiple people with guns who teach him to share what he has with others and give selflessly to those in need.
