As Kris Kringle himself points out, Christmas isnt just a day, its a frame of mind.
And theres no better movie for putting you in a holiday mindset than the 1947 hit.
Its the only film Ive ever seen where Santa Claus won an Oscar, says EW.com editor Christopher Rosen.
Thats a pretty great thing to have on the resume.
She even pulls his beard, believing it to be a fake.
Undeterred, Kris Kringle sticks to his story and spreads the word that hes the genuine Santa.
The film culminates in this sort of amazing courtroom scene, explains Amy Wilkinson, Entertainment Weekly senior editor.
Twenty-something bags of mail to Santa are delivered to the court room.
Its a genius argument really: Santa is receiving mail addressed to Santa because hes the real deal.
Its a really emotional, powerful moment for a holiday movie like this, says Rosen.
To see Santa Claus proven as real?
Its a great scene.
Everyone wants to see their childhood continue, concludes Rosen.
