Miracle on 34th Street

This is one of the great American Christmas classics. The film, which also exists in versions from 1973 and 1994, won three Oscars in 1948. We meet Kris Kringle, who works as Santa Claus in a department store, bringing joy and Christmas spirit to everyone who visits. He forms a special bond with a six-year-old girl. But her mother doesn't believe in fairy tales, and Kris goes to court to prove that he is Santa Claus. "It is light, it is charming, it is delightfully funny and completely captivating. It is all that, and something more. It has an undefinable spiritual quality that raises the spirits of the beholder into a happy, hopeful mood." – New York Daily News
