That's 11... And I could add more to that list...
Probably Many more... without ever having to settle for "Die Hard"... I wouldn't consider it anyway since I don't consider "Die Hard" to be a Christmas movie.
Not sure why I didn't think of these two when I wrote my list... But I would also watch these during the Christmas, before I would ever watch Die Hard.
"The Polar Express" (2004)
AND...
Silent Night (2002)
Silent Night is a fact-based television film set on Christmas Eve in 1944, during the Battle of the Bulge of World War II...
A German mother, Elisabeth Vincken (Linda Hamilton), who had already lost her eldest son in the Battle of Stalingrad and whose husband is a cook serving in the German Army, and her younger son, Fritz, are seeking refuge in a cabin near the front lines in the Ardennes forests region of western Europe.. They are soon invaded by three American soldiers and then soon after by three German soldiers, and after much resistance the mother manages to convince the enemy soldiers to put aside their differences for one night and share a Christmas dinner...

It's extremely disturbing that some people living back in 1944, were far better human beings, than some of the people living today, who post to these boards.
If more people would watch movies like this one, where enemies during an actual war are able to put aside their differences to celebrate the TRUE meaning of Christmas... Instead of watching movies where villains take hostages to steal money and murder anyone who gets in their way, and at the end of the film, they still haven't learned their lesson and the TRUE meaning of Christmas... Maybe our world would be a better place.
Shouldn't we all be better, than they were?
