I will say this - Although Die Hard 2 was not one of my favorites of the series, I still can enjoy it. However, for the past decade (hell, I wonder if this discussion even when it was still the 2000s) there has been a debate about whether or not Die Hard is a Christmas movie. I hardly hear people discuss the first Lethal Weapon as such, but some can talk about Ghostbusters II or Batman Returns. However, Die Hard 2 seems to get the short end of the stick.
As noted before, Die Hard 2 may probably be low on my list of Die Hard movies (I still like it, though, and also the fourth movie; the fifth one, not so much), but it's still set around Christmas time, not to mention it was the only one that was set in snowy weather.
So what's your opinion on this? I know that the second one is not as well-regarded as the first film and the third film, but when talking about Christmas films, people often say "It's not Christmas until Hans Gruber falls off the building." I could imagine if someone said, "It's not Christmas until John McClane blows up an airplane by lighting a trail of gas along a runway."
