Those are excellent points, but keep in mind that a lot of people define christmas movie as something that both adults and children can watch together. So that makes die hard a hard sell for a lot of families.

For me, any movie set in or around christmas qualifies as a christmas movie and my favorite christmas movies are "die hard", "home alone 1 and 2" and "scrooged". They all represent the redeeming christmas spirit in their own unique way.

Rare Exports is undeniably a Christmas movie. One that you should definitely watch, but only after the little ones have gone to bed.

Good example. Also, Bad Santa.
Okay okay, I saw that name in another comment... but now I'll seek it out 'cause I know you've seen Rare Exports and that's still your favorite.
I think you confused me for another poster, but it is a good movie if you enjoy dark humour.
