Is your child starting to ask questions about whether Father Christmas is real? This film is sure to convince them he is!

Remade numerous times but never bettered, this perennial Christmas classic won three Oscars and was nominated for Best Picture a year after its release in 1948.

Starring an eight-year-old Natalie Wood, the film takes place between Thanksgiving and Christmas in New York City, and centres around a department store Santa Claus - Kris Kringle - who claims to be the genuine article. When his sanity is questioned, a lawyer defends him in court by arguing that he's not mistaken.

Featuring a wonderful cast of actors and a storyline sweet-natured enough to melt the hardest heart, the film's conclusion represents a triumph of the magical over the humdrum.

Into Film recommends this film for ages 5+
