cool the best ever! Anybody would chat with me simurl.com/nobpav

4/4--A very brilliant film. Its become a classic in the eyes of viewer's young and old.

Now digitally THX mastered for sound and picture quality, my VHS cassette is almost as good as television! Ha, what a joke. What could possibly have been done to this film by THX mumbo jumbo? Its just sad we have to have all this marketing junk put on the coverjackets of of all things, a vhs sleeve.

That being said, the young girl steals the show as her mom, Maureen O'Hara succeeds in being a business woman supreme, cold, heartless, there is no Santa woman! But little daughter Natalie Wood plays cupid as her mother slowly accepts Santa as a real person, despite her attempts to prove otherwise.

Winner of 3 Academy awards in 1947, the Santa is award winning Best Supporting Actor Ed Wwenn. A holiday film supreme, suggest watching this one with your little kids, grandkids or anyone over 90 that likes to be a kid!

Happy Holidays!

Close to perfect classically structured conservative picture, which re-inforces the idea that having faith and wanting something is enough for obtaining it. The A plot surrounds Kris Kringle, the real life Santa Claus struggling to prove his own existence in a New York retail chain but really this film is focussed on the B plot of a woman with a career, no man and a city flat cannot possibly be fulfilled until she is transformed in to a subservient sub-urban housewife. The two plots intersect as the woman in question Maureen O'Hara, who manages the store falls for the lawyer (Payne) representing the store and then Kringle and her daughter wishes for a sub-urban house with a swing from Santa - and if you have faith and believe, then it becomes true. The screenplay is great but there is a deep cynicism in emphasising sub-urban white middle class existence is a natural state of affairs, longed for by a child and a santa. Still, brilliant.

Not only an incredible Christmas Classic, but one of the best films in the entire fantasy genre. Miracle on 34th Street avoids the typical clich

Creepy old Christmas "classic" starring Edmund Gwenn as a "Santa Claus wannabee" who seems to be certifiably insane and in love with a child much too young. This idea might have worked better had it been the Easter bunny.

A great, charming movie about christmas and santa.

I haven't seen the very original, or even the 1990's version that much, but I did a little bit during Thanksgiving Break and it's awesome. I love a lot of movies with ether Robin Williams or Mara Wilson in it. Home Alone would be more like.... 4 Stars, which ironically, the #1 best movies are said to have $ Stars, but isn't the best 5 Stars? So I'd say these so called awesome movies aren't good enough to be considered the best. I think I'd like this movie more than Home Alone. :) No offense, but A Christmas Story is so corny though... Worst Narrator ever... It's worse than Pokemon. :p What is in that movie that makes so good to people?

one of my traditional holiday kick-off fvorites. a delighfully entertaining film with no bad parts. paired with the bishops wife and the shop around the corner it can't be beat.

After 60 years a film that still brings a smile to the face of young and old alike.

Sentimental without being patronising.

In an era where films are judged on special effects budgets and the beleivablility of CGI this shows that a strong plot and convincing acting are all that are required for a film to become a timeless classic
