Miracle on 34th Street
For years our family, having grown up and become self-sufficient, decided to donate to a few charities rather than buying presents (except for the children). Besides making for a much more relaxed holiday season, it let us get past the frenzy and allowed our minds to better appreciate the meaning of Christmas.
There are some things that generate sights and smells and memories in our hearts. This movie is one of them. For what Christmas could be complete than lounging together as a family and watching some of the Christmas classics. Certainly "Miracle on 34th Street" is one of them.

Color My World & my Films
The 2007 brand new beautifully color enhanced version of "Miracle on 34th St." is not the same color version as the one made in the '90's. It is also certainly not the same as the first color version made in the '80's. It's a brand new 2007 color technology produced color version. Whoever thinks this is the same color version, be it the AFT color version of the '90's or the bad '80's color version is wrong, this is an excellently color enhanced 2007 version. I know this for a fact because I watched the '90's A.F.T. version and the new Legend color version side by side as I watched this movie Christmas time 2007. The new version is sharp, clear, colors are nice and bright (no more brownish or dark reds, the reds are now bright and red red) and the movie now looks like it was originally shot in color. That's the best complement you can give a colorized movie. It's beautiful. Even some colors of things like ties, dresses, scenery background on the wall are different colors now than they were in the '90's color version. Watching these side by side on a split screen I could see first hand the vast improvements this 2007 version is over the past color versions. This ain't your Daddy's colorization anymore. So get over the snob/elitist comments. Welcome to a big beautiful colorful world. B/W you're thru. Now please color ALL the rest of the drab b/w movies and TV shows then I'll be in heaven.

Miracle Still Shines
I watched the original black and white version. It looks and sounds great. I didn't buy the video for the special features, so I didn't pay much attention to them.
I would recommend Miracle on 34th Street to everyone, young, old, or in between.

Great Old Standard
This product contains both an original black and white and a colorized copy of the original Miracle on 34th Street. Personally I feel that colorization is a major travistry but.. The black and white original is the cleanest, clearest copy of this classic that I have seen in years. The original cast is so good that there have been several remakes all of which were a waste of time. This is the definitive copy of a timeless story.

Can't Help It
Awkward, formulaic, even leaden at times: there's just something about the sentiment in this movie I can't resist.
This isn't a great movie, but it's a good one. The very premise -- standing up to common sense at a time of the year when we want so much to believe in the inherent goodness of people -- can get you right where you live if you're willing to give yourself over to it. Edmund Gwenn and (a very young) Natalie Wood help us to do just that.
The rest of the cast is a bit stilted, but it just doesn't matter. Besides, the 90-second screen debut of Thelma Ritter would make any movie a gem. (Naturally, she manages to do in those 90 seconds what most of the cast struggles to do in 90 minutes: make us believe that what we're watching could be real.) A great story, some great performances and a truly great sentiment.
