#3 Christmas Movie of all time: Miracle on 34th Street (1947)

This is as "Christmasy" as a movie gets. I never saw the remake (1994) and I never plan to, no offense to that movie I just hold the original true to my heart.

My #3 Christmas film actually won Academy Awards for Best Supporting Actor (Edmund Gwenn), Original Story (Valentine Davies) and Best Screenplay. In addition, it was also nominated for Best Picture.

This movie has everything from public intoxication to intense courtroom scenes to about a billion and a half heartwarming hugs. I understand that Miracle on 34th Street may be a little 1940's cheese for some viewers but remember people, this is a movie about Christmas.

Just saying.
