Is 'Die Hard' A Christmas Movie? Vote In The Patch Twitter Poll

One topic that's caused some disagreement during the holiday season for three decades now is whether or not the movie "Die Hard" should be considered a Christmas movie.

The story-line isn't like more traditional Christmas movies like "Home Alone," "A Christmas Story" or "It's a Wonderful Life." But the 1988 film starring Bruce Willis is a classic and it does take place on Christmas Day, with a Christmas party involved in the plot.

Here's the description of the film from IMBD:

"John McClane, officer of the NYPD, tries to save his wife Holly Gennaro and several others that were taken hostage by German terrorist Hans Gruber during a Christmas party at the Nakatomi Plaza in Los Angeles."

But is it a Christmas movie? Let's see what Patch readers think, and we'll start by finding out the opinions of our loyal fans in Chicago's south suburbs. Find this tweet embedded here, tweeted out at 11:05 a.m. Thursday, on the @OakLawnPatch Twitter account and have your say.

Voting began shortly after 11 a.m. on Thursday, Dec. 6. That means it will be open to anyone with a Twitter account (one vote apiece) until 11 a.m. on Friday, Dec. 7.

A recent Morning Consult/Hollywood Reporter survey found that only 25 percent of the population said the film is a Christmas movie, while 62 percent disagreed. The survey, conducted Nov. 15-18 among 2,200 U.S. adults, also revealed America's favorite Christmas movies.
