Bah Humbug, bitches!

Are you talking about Ninurta?

In the Nimrod in the bible, his wife (and mother) was Semiramis.

By the way.. I consider Love Actually to be the best movie ever set at Christmas time. BEST EVER!

God, I love that movie so much!

Rick Grimes was in that!

I only remember watching it once. I don't remember it well.

Yes.. Andrew Lincoln was in it.. as were most of the great British actors.

It's so good.

Ok.. now I'm leaving again... unless someone tags me again.

Christmas is just a capitalist holiday mean to make people spend more money than what is needed on useless things that they don't need.

So are Fridays. What's your point? It makes people cheerful.

Every movie could be any kind of movie.. "Christmas" isn't a genre.. it is a topic. Drama, Fantasy, Comedy, Sci-Fi... etc.. those are genres.

A Christmas movie is a Christmas movie because it is set at Christmas time... thus Die Hard and Home Alone and many others are "Christmas" movies. But really Die Hard is an action film.. Home Alone is a comedy etc etc.

I would argue that it can be both a topic and a genre. Christmas can be considered a genre because a lot of them contain similar traits and there's that certain feeling that goes along with the movie that you don't get from other movies. Christmas can also be considered a topic when it's merely mentioned, or the plot doesn't revolve around the actual holiday.

Or if you really want to only stick to the handful of genre labels that exist, I suppose they would generally fall under the genres of Fantasy, Comedy, and Family. But I feel like there are enough movies that revolve around Christmas to at least classify it as a subgenre. If Christmas isn't a subgenre, then Sports movies isn't a genre/subgenre either, and if we're really gonna go that far, then we may as well just go back to Shakespeare and only have two genres: comedy and tragedy

Christmas is considered a subgenre. That is correct.
