"Die Hard" recently celebrated its 35th anniversary. The 1988 action film starring Bruce Willis has sparked a longtime debate over whether or not it is a Christmas movie.
Directed by John McTiernan, "Die Hard" stars Bruce Willis as an NYPD officer, John McClane, who unexpectedly finds himself fighting to save his estranged wife, Holly Gennaro McClane (Bonnie Bedelia) and her co-workers after they are taken hostage by a band of terrorists led by Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman) during an office Christmas party at the Los Angeles skyscraper Nakatomi Plaza on Christmas Eve.

Arguments in favor of "Die Hard" being classified as a Christmas movie include the movie's Christmas setting, the number of Christmas songs featured on the soundtrack and its central message of the importance of family and friendship. A post shared by Emma Heming Willis (@emmahemingwillis)
