Is 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' a Christmas Movie or a Halloween Movie?
Die Hard, for example. The 1988 action classic takes place on Christmas Eve, at a company holiday party, and characters certain celebrate and otherwise make note of the special day during which the film's action is set, but there are many who don't consider the movie to truly count as a Christmas movie, mostly because there are significantly more explosions and violent deaths than outright acts of holiday spirit.
