4. Miracle On 34th Street (1947)
The Christmas classic and original Miracle On 34th Street cannot go unmentioned! Edmund Gwenn's perfect performance as Kris Kringle who is hired to act as himself at the well-renowned Macy's in New York City. His endearing nature and determined defence of him being the real Santa Claus is enough to convince us all of his existence. A truly uplifting tale, even for the most doubtful of cynics.
