This is a very important question

Is Gremlins a Christmas movie or not?

 

[eliza61]

No. although I loved that movie.

 

[beck0321]

I don't remember!

 

[aaarcher86]

The one during the Christmas holiday?

Absolutely, yes.

 

[Allison]

no

 

[kaytieeldr]

Yes. If a movie occurs around/during the Christmas season (different from being released at that time of year), it's a Christmas movie. Lethal Weapon is one as well.

 

[iheartdisney]

No more than Planes Trains and Automobiles is a Thanksgiving movie.

If you like your Christmas movies to contain the words, "and that is how I learned Santa isn't real" after the girl talks about the firefighters pulling her dead father out of the chimney then sure, call it a Christmas movie.

 

[scrapquitler]

It is set at Christmas time, so I would say it is a Christmas movie.

 

[CurlyGirl]

Yes it is. Just like my favorite Christmas movie -- Die Hard.

Yes. If a movie occurs around/during the Christmas season (different from being released at that time of year), it's a Christmas movie. Lethal Weapon is one as well.

And lets not forget Die Hard and Die Hard 2.

 

[FireDancer]

It is as much a Christmas movie as first two Die Hard movies.

Sounds like a Christmas movie to me.

 

[natenapril]

Yes!

 

[wendy46001]

Yes it is. Just like my favorite Christmas movie -- Die Hard.

Due to having a small child now, our Christmas Eve Christmas movie marathon line up has to change this year, but it has been Gremlins, The Ref, Die Hard, Die Hard 2 and The Muppet Christmas Carol for several years.

 

[GaSleepingBeautyFan]

Most definitely it's a Christmas movie.

I agree with this person. IMO, it isn't a Christmas movie. It is pretty close to being a horror movie, again JMO.

 

[bookgirl]

I vote yes.

Santa stories, christmas tree, cute small animal gift, main event takes place on Christmas Eve....they even have an Ebenezer Scrooge charecter.

Totally a christmas movie.

DUDE! Totally loved The Ref, I laugh everytime I see someone open up a pair of slippers.

I showed it at (middle) school for movie lunch a couple of years ago - in honor of Halloween.
