51 - Christmas Movie Or Not?

The holiday season is upon us, and with it comes the annual debate in the cinephile community. Many a movie aficionado frequently asks, “Is this a Christmas Movie or Not?”

Well, The Gimme Three Podcast has you covered. On today’s episode, we examine three hotly debated films to answer the burning question once and for all. 

• We start with Billy Wilder’s classic 1960 Romantic Dramedy The Apartment.
• Next, Christmas time comes to Gotham City in Tim Burton’s sinister sequel, Batman Returns. 
• Finally - the film that seems to spark the most debate about whether or not it is a Christmas film - Die Hard. 

We get to the bottom of all of it. But, of course, we’d love to hear your thoughts as well. After hearing our arguments - what’s your stance? Are these Christmas movies or not?
