Top 10 Santa Clauses On Film

7. The Polar Express (2004)

The Polar Express, featuring Tom Hanks in numerous key roles, tells a tale of curious 'Hero Boy' who boards a magical train (named The Polar Express) on Christmas Eve. He finds himself on an eventful journey towards The North Pole where he hopes to find Santa Claus (also Tom Hanks). A case where only seeing is believing for the youthful lad. Although the computer-animation can make characters seem a little creepy at times, nevertheless this film brings a winter warmth to the screen. Techno-savvy Santa's presence (and presents) restores all the children's faith in the folkloric figure. When 'Hero Boy' is specially selected and given the silver bell for believers as The First Gift Of Christmas, faith is thankfully restored.

As a one-of-a-kind twenty-something film fanatic and culture vulture... I have a 1st Class Honours degree in English Literature with Film Studies & Media Cultures. Along with recently completing MA by Research in Film Studies, I aspire to be a film critic and yearn for the opportunity to roll around on the red carpet (with or without Christian Bale in his Batsuit). Always openly embracing films of all genres and nations, although anything Studio Ghibli related will always have a place in my heart. Believes normality is overrated!
