Some movies, despite not being explicitly holiday movies, get classified as "Christmas" movies by some of their fans. Whether there is a holiday present in the film or are just a tradition for certain families, many people have at least one example of a film that fits this role for them. My family frequently watched the early movies of the <em>Harry Potter </em>series, for example, around the end of the year.<em> Die Hard </em>is another such movie that many argue about being a Christmas movie. Personally, I think it's a bit of a stretch, and it's definitely not canonically Christmas. However, the movie does undeniably take place at the Christmas season, and arguably for even longer than the holiday sections of the <em>Harry Potter </em>films. While I'm not one who watches <em>Die Hard </em>around the holiday season, I really can't fault those who do. It checks out!
