Some of today’s tweets continue the longstanding debate of whether or not Die Hard is a Christmas movie. Last year, San Diego Board of Supervisors chairman Nathan Fletcher took the steps required to officially make the film a bonafide holiday movie within San Diego County.
“I know there are a few individuals out there who say Die Hard isn’t a Christmas movie and it just took place on Christmas Eve. That’s simply not the case. Die Hard is unquestionably a Christmas movie,” Fletcher said in a video posted to Twitter. “Not only does the entire movie take place on Christmas Eve, not only is it infused with incredible Christmas music throughout including one of the greatest Christmas songs of all time in Run-DMC’s ‘Christmas in Hollis,’ it’s all full of the symbolism and pageantry: the exchange of gifts, the Santa attire, and the wrapping. At its core, it’s about family. It’s about being with those you love.”
He added, “It’s about what you do to make sure kids have a wonderful Christmas morning and the hero of this movie, the wonderful Detective John McClane and his wife Holly—I should point out her name is Holly—will go to anything to make sure their Christmas is realized, to make sure [McClane] and his wife and kids can all be together on Christmas morning.”
Die Hard may be a Christmas movie, but that doesn’t change the fact that it was released in July. You can check out some of the tweets celebrating the film’s anniversary below…
