If you removed all the killing and the terrorists - Die Hard is basically a Hallmark movie. Estranged blue collar husband flies across the country to share Christmas with corporate executive wife and ends up re-kindling the romance and she falls in love with him all over again. C'mon. It's a Christmas movie.

My sister and I always had to read all of our parent's cards: especially the "braggy" ones. 🤮🤣

I said this the other day on a different video but I'll say it again here: to me, the only requirement to be a Christmas movie is that the events of the movie wouldn't happen if Christmas wasn't involved. The only reason John Maclane was going to LA was to see his estranged wife and children for Christmas, therefore Christmas is essential to the plot. By this logic, Die Hard is a Christmas movie.

Yes. Just got home from work. Exhausted. Got me some Charlie to watch. Ah lads it’s Christmas already. Greetings from Ireland ( the beer capital of the world )🎄🎄🎄

I love it! A Charlie Berens Christmas! Instant classic.

It’s the Duluth Trading Company sweater for me 😂 🦌⚒🌲

YES!! my 10-year-old brother asked to watch a Christmas film the other day, so my dad put on die hard... he's funny like that xD

I agree, Charlie, Die Hard is definitely a Christmas movie. So is Das Boot, with the scene in Vigo, and they do get home for Christmas, only it doesn't turn out so well. My personal favorite Christmas film is The Lion in Winter. Full of family fights. Merry Christmas!

Very funny. Keep up the amazing videos, there. Tell your folks I said Hi and Happy Holidays. Even to you, brother.

When I was in college on the tree the only ornaments me and my roommates had were Old Style cans with a can of Special Export for the star on top.

The whole of Germany agrees with you on that Die Hard topic.

FYI, Die Hard is on several "Most Popular Christmas Movies" lists! I was just perusing them yesterday :)

Yes, another christmas video by Charlie, keep er movin'!

Your videos remind me so much of my mom’s family. You capture the Midwest/Wisconsin slice of life perfectly.

The last scene. On the beanbag at the bottom of the spiral stairs... that was me the xmas of '84 at my in-laws.
