Dude, it's June. At least wait until November 1st for the "is it a Christmas movie" argument.

In Fast Times. Not Gremlins.

Sure it's a Christmas movie, just as much as Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, Batman Returns, Iron Man 3 ........ where Christmas is not necessarily the focus of the movie.

This is not one that I watch regularly.

I was finishing my junior year of high school when I first saw this. They had an advance preview in early May 1984 at the old Meyerland Theater in Houston that I was able to get into. At that time I thought it was a fun movie, and I laughed so much during the bar scene. But like so many movies that I once thought were good, it is not one that has withstood the test of time.

Definitely a Christmas movie. It's usually the first one of the season for us actually.

Jennifer Jason Leigh's weren't bad either.

Gizmo was a Christmas gift.

A gremlin-infested Christmas tree attacks someone.

There's an entire monologue about why one of the main characters hates Christmas.


It's absolutely a Christmas movie, much more-so than Die Hard.

Die Hard is set on Christmas Eve.

DH has a lot of Christmas symbols like trees, lights, and the like.

DH features a character who uses the well known Santa Claus statement of Ho-ho-ho.

DH has another character speaking of things like snooping for presents, Rudolph and Frosty the snowman.

Die Hard does not take a back seat to Gremlins in terms of being a Christmas movie.

Except Die Hard had Notre Dame and USC playing on Christmas Eve, which we know is not gonna happen.

It's Christmas, the time of miracles (or whatever Hans said to Theo). Apparently Christmas miracles can put a college football matchup together that would not happen.

For the record I am in agreeance that Die Hard is a Christmas movie. But it's somewhat tertiary to the plot. In Gremlins, the entire plot revolves around a Christmas gift.
