Favorite "Action" Holiday Movies

[davekill]

On a previous Christmas Movie topic, Lethal Weapon was mentioned as a seasonal favorite

Along the same vein is the first Lethal Weapon...nothing says Christmas spirit like driving a cop car through your house and watching Mel Gibson and Gary Busey kick the livin crap out of each other on the front lawn.

Like Darth Gaos says, I only watch some movies during the Christmas Season because they feature Santa, the spirit of giving and people diving for cover at the mall.

After a quick search I came up with over a dozen action flicks that use the Christmas season as a plot point.

Batman Returns (1992)
Cobra (1986)
Die Hard (1988)
Die Hard 2 (1990)
First Blood (1982)
Invasion U.S.A.(1985)
Lethal Weapon (1987)
Last Action Hero (1993)
To Live and Die in L.A (1985)
The Ice Harvest (2005)
The Long Kiss Goodnight (1996)
Turbulence (1997)
Reindeer Games (2000)

Santa's going to need a new flak jacket this year ;)

Die Hard would have to be my favorite Action/Christmas Movie-   "Now I have a machine gun... Ho Ho Ho" :D

And don't forget Gremlins. 8)

The top 2 for me are definitely "Die Hard" and "Lethal Weapon"

Ice Harvest is pretty good and "Long Kiss Goodnight" is very underrated in my view.  I really enjoyed that movie.
