Miracle on 34th Street
Kris Kringle, seemingly the embodiment of Santa Claus, is asked to portray the jolly old fellow at Macy's following his performance in the Thanksgiving Day parade. His portrayal is so complete that many begin to question if he truly is Santa Claus, while others question his sanity. From TMDB

neutral · AI labelView post →Every year, I get more and more sick of the "Is Miracle On 34th Street a Christmas movie or not" discourse.
neutral · AI labelView post →Miracle on 34th Street is a Christmas movie. (Did I do that right?)
neutral · AI labelView post →Too many people argue over whether Die Hard is a Christmas movie, but too few argue over whether the original Miracle on 34th Street is a Mortal Kombat movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →I've managed to do Muppet Christmas Carol, The Shop Around The Corner, Miracle on 34th Street, Meet Me In St. Louis, Home Alone, and The Santa Clause this week. Boy oh boy do I love a good Christmas movie. (I'm saving It's a Wonderful Life to watch with my bf when we do our Christmas this Saturday)
positive · AI labelView post →Miracle On 34th Street is a movie about how judges are easily swayed by irresponsible concerns.
neutral · AI labelView post →Interestingly, "Miracle on 34th Street" is NOT a Christmas movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →I saw that Die Hard is listed in Dis+ as a Christmas movie. That strikes me as the post office declaring Kris the one true Santa Claus in Miracle on 34th Street. Debate ended.
neutral · AI labelView post →That is a TOUGH one. Here are my top 3: On the Waterfront The Philadelphia Story (The only time Stewart and Grant were in the same movie) To Have and Have Not Holiday additions include It's a Wonderful Life Miracle on 34th Street
neutral · AI labelView post →Old Fox's Film Advent Calendar. Day Eight: Miracle on 34th Street (1947 and 1994). www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMXk...
neutral · AI labelView post →TIL the older scientist in THEM! (1954) was also Santa Claus in the MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET (1947) I somehow never noticed while watching either movie before.
neutral · AI labelView post →Hey, streaming services, please stop trying to get me to watch the 1994 version of Miracle on 34th Street. I got nothing against Richard Attenborough, Mara Wilson, or anyone else in it, but that movie is the shits and if it were a person I'd murder it and happily go to prison.
negative · AI labelView post →Remembering Thelma Ritter, Born on this Day, 1905. Best known for comedic and character roles as strong working-class women with her sassy New York accent. She received six Oscar Nominations for Best Supporting Actress, but success came late, her debut film Miracle on 34th Street (1947) age 42.
neutral · AI labelView post →Is the Santa letter courtroom reveal in “Miracle on 34th Street” the best courtroom reveal in movie history? If you say no, it’s because you can’t handle the truth.
neutral · AI labelView post →#AlphabetChallenge #WeekFforFilms Miracle on 34th Street (1947) Only 20 weeks until Christmas 😁 #ShopFrontFriday
neutral · AI labelView post →Sobbing to the end of Miracle on 34th Street. It's been years since I've seen it last and it really is such a sweet, wonderful film
positive · AI labelView post →I would imagine the Christmas classics get watched more than anything else. Especially things like It’s A Wonderful Life and Miracle on 34th Street. Compare that to just about anything else and most people probably only revisit other old/b&w movies on the rare special occasion a lot less often than those.
neutral · AI labelView post →Miracle on 34th Street is a crazy idea for a film. What if Santa was wrongfully sectioned in the fallout of a corporate merger. What the hell is this.
neutral · AI labelView post →Bad news. I just came up with a brilliant pitch for a movie. Santa is on trial. But the REAL Santa Claus is on the jury. Juror #2 meets Miracle on 34th Street.
neutral · AI labelView post →You know you’re a diehard classic movie fan when you put in a DVD of MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET, realize it’s the colorized version, and swap it out for the original black and white version! #TCMParty
neutral · AI labelView post →MIRACLE ON 34th STREET (1947) streams in B&W on Disney+ (and all other streaming services), despite the colorized photo they promote it with. The colorized version has aired on AMC in the past, so it may still pop up there. Or maybe since Disney now owns the film, they'll just quietly disappear it.
neutral · AI labelView post →Matilda is a gem of a movie, as is the remake of Miracle on 34th Street, which Mara also starred in.
neutral · AI labelView post →Y'know what I want? I want a "Miracle on 34th Street" style movie except about Bigfoot, where the movie ends with the Sasquatch being recognized by a Federal Agency. No, I don't know how that would even work, I just want it, okay? Don't look at me like I'm supposed to be rational.
neutral · AI labelView post →I love that what saves the day in Miracle on 34th Street is not joy or goodwill but pragmatism and self-interest. Such a weird film.
neutral · AI labelView post →Just watched Miracle on 34th Street for the first time. What an utterly charming film.
positive · AI labelView post →Miracle on 34th Street (the original) has one of my favorite Santas in film we need more posh British Santas
positive · AI labelView post →watching Miracle on 34th Street with the kids and — we all see it, right? That the real villain of the movie is this fuckin guy?
negative · AI labelView post →In case anyone needs a reminder (or an excuse), "Miracle on 34th Street" is a Thanksgiving movie
neutral · AI labelView post →#Butterflies & #Wülferhampton Miracle on 34th Street on TV.

positive · AI labelView post →Well, today I feel officially old. 👵 My knee is very cranky and I’m going to start PT next week. This picture reminds me of the movie “The Miracle on 34th Street”. At the end of the movie the little girl finds Santa‘s cane 🦯 in the house that he wanted her to live in 😂
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched the original Miracle on 34th Street this afternoon because I was way overdue to do it again. Love how weirdly cynical it is letterboxd.com/cckirby/film...
unlabelledView post →Therapist: How are you doing with your grieving process? Me: I watched Miracle on 34th Street and burst into tears when they delivered the letters to Santa to the courtroom. Not even good tears, just thinking how everyone in that movie is dead. Therapist: …so same time next week?

His previous film was Xmas favorite MIRACLE ON 34th STREET, where he honed his venetian blind chops. In the 70s he won an Emmy for shooting COLUMBO. #TCMParty #NoirAlley

unlabelledView post →One of the women at work referred to the 1994 Miracle on 34th Street film as ‘that really old film with the Matilda actress in it’ I was 10 when that came out. She wasn’t alive. 😫😫
unlabelledView post →I mean it’s far from the strangest scene in the film but the “SUPRISE you’re getting married!” scene in Miracle on 34th Street (1994) is definitely odd
unlabelledView post →We’re a “Christmas season starts after we see Santa in the Macy’s Parade” kind of family. So our first Christmas movie is always Miracle on 34th Street. My kid recognized that she is @marawilson.bsky.social character IRL and has made her whole personality trying to dress like Susan to solidify it 🤣💕
unlabelledView post →@marawilson.bsky.social hey Mara, I’m sure you’ve answered this a million times, but did Richard Attenborough actually learn sign language for that scene in Miracle on 34th Street? It’s a really sweet moment in the film. :)
unlabelledView post →Reading about the film after watching—it’s on Netflix through August 31, btw—I was stunned to discover writer-director George Seaton also did MIRACLE ON 34th STREET *and* worked with the Marx Brothers. Now that’s range. He was also born in 1911– explaining the film’s endless, deep chauvinism

unlabelledView post →Miracle on 34th Street (1947) is such a beautiful contradiction, a film that's so overwhelmingly sincere while being brutally honest and cynical, it's a movie fundamentally about how believing an outrageous lie to keep society running is often a convenient kind of collective insanity it's great
