Catch Me If You Can deserves the 'technically a Christmas movie' status that Die Hard has. Eyes Wide Shut too
I mean, Die Hard has Christmas music, takes place on Christmas Eve at a Christmas party, has someone dressed in a Santa suit that says Ho Ho Ho on it. It's not technically a Christmas movie. It is a Christmas movie.

Respectfully disagree. If Die Hard was actually a Christmas movie I feel like people wouldn't constantly feel the need to say it is?
Ymmv based on how you define 'Christmas movie', but I think it needs to be in some sense about the celebration of the holiday like on a thematic level. I'd call Die Hard an action movie that happens to take place during the Christmas season
Haven't seen it in ages so should probably rewatch before stirring the pot too much here tbh

Bruce Willis literally flies to Cali to be with his wife at her office Christmas party to reconcile, while being forced to attended an event he didn't want to go to, while insanity ensues.
If that doesn't make it a Christmas movie, then there's no such thing.

Imo a Christmas movie is a movie where Christmas in one way or another is a crucial part of the plot and not a movie with a story that happens to be going on during Christmas time. And there’s a spectrum in there somewhere to make specific cases.
On one extreme, Rudolph is a Christmas movie as it is full story about Santa delivering presents.
On the other, Goodfellas is not a Christmas movie just because Ray Liotta is shown bringing home the biggest Christmas tree he could find to his wife after the successful score

first Harry Potter and I think like the 6th(?) Christmas is a huge part of the getting into the characters head space. the scenes could definitely be cut and the movie would progress the same way just fine, but there'd be whole layers stripped away from the characters.

I barely even remember Christmas in the first one. But yeah if the story wouldn’t change much without it…

John McClane gives the gift of flight to Hans Gruber at the climax of the movie! It’s not his fault that he couldn’t properly appreciate it and instead fell to the ground!

It looks like something Roo would make for a Roo Clue but through lack of proofreading have F R A N K O C E A N showing up in there, but the real clue was T O N E S & I, made obvious by the out of place ampersand.
