Is "It's a wonderful life" a world war two movie?

The "Grinch" is a commentary on contemporary attitudes.  The "fandukas" are nuclear weapons.  The dog represents compliance.  When the Grinch has a change of heart; it is emblematic of our societies shift from the cold war ethic to a more accommodating embrace of one world politics.  It is no accident that the song is sung by the guy that voiced Tony the Tiger.  America was the tiger, after World War 2; but it has to come to grips with a burgeoning re-emergence of a vibrant, and vocal, segment of the population that, through no fault of their own, have been temporarily marginalized.  I just wish there weren't so many ads.  The whole thing takes about 15 minutes.

Im going to say no for the simple reason that you can watch it any time of year and its not odd.  A true Xmas movie is one that you would only watch during the holiday season.  If you can watch it in July and its not weird, its not a Xmas movie.

I agree...It's not a Christmas movie.    Christmas movies are only allowed to be watch between Thanksgiving and New Years.

Nah. The Grinch wasn’t really about that. It’s one of the simpler books Geisel wrote.

It’s no Butter Battle or Lorax. It’s not even a Cat in the Hat.

So true. And similar socialogical metaphors were present for ‘Gilligan’s Island.’

Depends on your definition of "Christmas Movie".  Personally, my definition is a story based around Christmas and what it stands for, like Miracle on 34th Street and It's a Wonderful Life. 

IMHO, for Die Hard having the plot occurring in Christmas is just an ancillary not the main point of the movie.  So no.  It is not a Christmas movie under my definition.

Like @FootWedge my personal opinion means a squat to anyone else.

After the first two or three things, that's got nothing to do with Christmas.

Die Hard is not a Christmas movie. It's a movie set at Christmas time. That's it.

Yeah, the metric for the list is not entirely without some bias... 😂

Hans Gruber - "Now I have a machine gun. Ho Ho Ho", is about as close it comes to being a Christmas movie as it can. 

It would qualify as a cowboy western before it would qualify as a Christmas movie, with all the cowboy talk and all between Gruber and Mclane. 

 

Christmas movie for me.

That was from the article I posted the list of items that shows it’s “Christmassy” than “White Christmas”

I think it was during a “Roast” and he may or may not have been roasting back according to the article anyway... 😁
