      I think Lethal Weapon has more of a Christmas message than Die Hard - Mismatched couple work through their differences to overcome adversity and finally spend Christmas Day together. That’s a Hallmark pitch if ever there was one.

      If it’s about a romance during wartime, it is both a romance and a war movie, just as Kelly’s Heroes is a heist film, a war movie, and a comedy a rolled into one. If it’s about German terrorists taking over a Christmas party and being thwarted with a lot of action by a cop, it’s a Christmas movie, a cop movie, and an action movie.

      And Top Gun is a romance movie, a gay romance movie. Who can forget “playing with the boys?” (Not passing judgement, if Mavrick got Goose’s goose that’s between them and Iceman!)
