Is Die Hard a Christmas movie? I say no, but the verdict has been out on that one for a while. So, who am I to judge? That said, while everybody else “knows” Die Hard is a Christmas movie, I will concede that it’s an “alternative” Christmas film, just like Gremlins, Lethal Weapon, and Batman Returns.
Well, another “alternative” Christmas movie that I actually love is The Holdovers, which my colleague, Mick Joest, believes should be a new annual watch, and I agree!...But, not for the same reasons that he thinks. I’ll explain.
