Audience Member This was a great film from beginning to end and definitely needs to be seen by modern audiences. Love the scene where they deliver the letters to the courthouse, and the judge decides that the country declares him Santa Claus. Leading to him winning the court case, was such a great scene. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/18/24 Full Review Michael S If I could give a movie more than five stars, this would be the one. I watch it every Christmas. No CGI, no special effects, just tremendous acting all across the board. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/11/24 Full Review Jeff M There are very few things in life I know for sure. But I know for sure that Edmund Gwenn will be Santa Claus in my heart for as long as I live. It's an absolutely transcendent Oscar-winning performance that seems to go beyond mere acting into something other-worldly. His is one of my very favorite Academy Award wins of all time. And as for the movie itself, well, I think it's basically flawless. I can't think of a single thing I would change, and I can't think of another movie with so many iconic moments that move and inspire me upon every single viewing. I've said before that I've never seen as luminous an actress as O'Hara, and she is as radiant as always and has the biggest arc in the movie. Natalie Wood gives one of the great child performances ever, ably projecting precociousness without becoming cloying or grating. And in many ways, Payne is the unsung hero of the story in a wonderfully generous and understated performance. There are at least half a dozen scenes and moments that I will never forget, from Gwenn's joyous expression when the mailbags are brought in to the courtroom to O'Hara's post script in Wood's letter to Santa to the remarkable scene when Gwenn communicates to the little Dutch girl in her native language. This movie is like a warm blanket in front of a roaring fire, and I can't imagine the holidays without it. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/24 Full Review Andrew K This is the first time I have seen this movie since I was a child and I have to say, I liked it a lot more now than I did when I was a kid. What a joyful and heartfelt movie with a lovely message for Christmas. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/28/23 Full Review Tom R Really a lovely film. I thought it was witty and deserves its holiday classic status. Ending was sweet and had some good fun along the way. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/25/23 Full Review John Paul I Just a great movie about a question we all face at one time, does Santa Clause exist? The ending will fill you with joy to know……. He does exist. In all of us. Merry Christmas Everyone! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
