Die Hard
Yes, it IS a Christmas movie!
Why?
It happens at Christmas, at a Christmas party. There’s lots of classical Christmas music and Ode to Joy.
There’s also lots of Christmas decorations.
The married, but separated couple go through a redemption, and get back together. (At least, maybe, until Die Hard 3.)
The sweet, damaged hero cop, Sgt. Al Powell, overcomes his own personal damage, to also be redeemed.
Argyle shines through, receives redemption amidst both holiday terror and cheer.
Mrs. Holly Gennaro McClane smacks the shit out of a very grinchy asshole. Her name is Holly, by the way.
The soundtrack also includes: Winter Wonderland, Christmas in Hollis, Jingle Bells, and Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
The good guy wins.

RIP Alan Rickman (as Hans Gruber). I’ll always remember you for this movie over those 7 or 8 movies about that little wizard guy.
Oh... I LOVE this!
Completely agree. Absolutely!
