Kris Kringle, seemingly the embodiment of Santa Claus, is asked to portray the jolly old fellow at Macy's following his performance in the Thanksgiving Day parade. His portrayal is so complete that many begin to question if he truly is Santa Claus, while others question his sanity.

_Miracle on 34th Street_ is the greatest Christmas film ever made, and my friend Oscar agrees. It’s the most celebrated Christmas film of all time, winning 3 Academy Awards; including one for Santa Claus himself (Edmund Gwenn). The story is brilliantly written and has a wonderfully charming air about it: after filling in as Santa Claus for Macy’s Thanksgiving parade, Kris Kringle goes to work for them and starts a good will campaign the sweeps up both Macy’s and their competitor Gimbles. Additionally, the performances are exceptional; Edmund Gwenn and Natalie Wood have a particularly good chemistry which draws the audience into the film. An extraordinary piece of filmmaking, _Miracle on 34th Street_ is sure to entertain and delight audiences of all ages.

I watch this every Thanksgiving (my family's decided the opening scene with the parade makes this a Thanksgiving movie, not a Christmas movie), and I quote it the rest of the year - especially drunk Mrs. Shellhammer. Only gets better with age.

7.4/10. I have a weird habit of seeing sequels and remakes before I see the originators. It wasn’t by design, but I saw *Kingdom of the Crystal Skull* before I saw any of the other Indiana Jones films; I watched *Live Free or Die Hard* before I watched any of the other films in the franchise, and More

"I believe... I believe... It's silly, but I believe."

Miracle on 34th Street (1947) has been on my watch-list for a while, but I never had time to watch it. It was the same with It's a Wonderful Life. Now that I have seen it, I can see why.

But I watched the 1947 version before the 1994 one w More

This is one of the classic holiday pies I will watch every year if it is available to me (Oh no; he said “holiday” instead of Christmas. Blasphemy!) So I will neither pick it apart nor praise it to the heavens. The story writing is strong and the ensemble cast do a good job. The fact that it has More

I suppose if anyone was ever to play the definitive Santa Claus, then it would have had to be Edmund Gwenn. The glint in his eye, the smile and the avuncular look all lends itself so very well to this tale of the Christmas nay-sayers! Set in the toy department of the legendary Macy's toy store in Ne More
