"Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to. Don't you see? It's not just Kris that's on trial, it's everything he stands for. It's kindness and joy and love and all the other intangibles."

Nothing says Christmas quite like the classics can. In a contemporary cinematic age governed by a desire for cash over quality, few - if any - modern Christmas flicks are destined to b... read more

I have been meaning to see Miracle on 34th Street for a long time but the list of films to see was and still is endless but when I noticed that it was on TV, I decided to watch it especially when it was only a couple of days until Christmas.

Santa Claus in Movies: The Naughty & Nice (15 movies items)

" Edmund Gwenn, "Miracle on 34th Street." The gold standard for big-screen Santa Claus benevolence, neither craven businessman, the uncaring legal system, nor any earthly force can stop Gwenn's Kris Kringle from teaching everyone the true meaning of Christmas. Is the movie corny and sentimental? You're absolutely right it is, and proudly so."

50 Most Depressing Happy Endings (51 movies items)

"The Happy Ending: Kris Kringle (Edmund Gwenn) manages to restore Susan’s (Natalie Wood) belief in Christmas by giving her family a dream home. The Depressing Implications: Father Christmas doesn’t actually exist, so Susan’s in for a whole lot of pain when she grows up. The deceit. Just think of the deceit."
