âDie Hardâ (1988)
Terry: Yes, âDie Hardâ is a Christmas movie. Screenwriter Steven E. de Souza has even said so publicly. It also inspired a juvenile copycat (more on that later) and everyone knows its not officially Christmas until Hans Gruber falls from Nakatomi Plaza.
Amanda: Sure, this can be a Christmas movie. But, no, itâs not a movie Iâve ever purposefully turned on.
âA Christmas Storyâ (1983)
Terry: The unquenchable desire for a Red Ryder BB gun, Flick getting his tongue stuck on a flagpole, Scut Farkus finally receiving his comeuppance â Christmas gold.
Amanda: Required viewing around the holidays, especially so you can recognize where that legendary lamp is from in case you get it as a gag gift.

When it comes to Christmas movies, there’s no shortage of choices. There are, however, some that stand the test of time and become traditional favorites of the holiday movie lover in all of us.
Here’s my list of the Christmas movies you have to see during the holidays. Want to add something to list? Drop your recommendations in the comments. A Christmas Story (1983)
Let’s start with the obvious choice – “A Christmas Story.” This movie billed itself as a salute to an “All-American Christmas,” and it certainly lives up to that promise. From an eager dad to an anxious mom to kids who can’t wait for Santa to arrive, the film has everything that most households go through during the holidays. It’s got some great laughs, too. (Rated PG)
