Miracle on 34th Street [Blu-ray] Reviews By Customers

Miracle on 34th Street - what can you say - but one of the best Christmas movies ever! There have been many remakes and knockoffs of this move but not one can hold a candle to the original. Whether in black and white or colorized, this is an enjoyable movie to watch with the whole family. The storyline, acting and setting of the movie can never be duplicated. It is a smart well crafted movie that will "tug at the heart strings". It is a must to see and if there is anyone out there that hasn't seen this movie (???), do yourself a favor and rent, Netflix and, better yet, purchase the movie to have for your own video library.

rather disappointing, but has its moments - Robert J. Crawford - Balmette Talloires, France
I was quite surprised at the anti-psychoanalytic slant of this film. One of the worst guys in it is an insensitive therapist working in the dept store: he gets a simple guy depressed (informing him he hates his father). Perhaps this "insight" was misplaced, but the Santa then visits him and whacks him in the head with an umbrella handle. THe message: whether you agree or disagree with that style of introspection, it is OK to bash someone you don't like over the head. That is simple assault. I didn't like it and didn't enjoy my son laughing at the silly psychoanalyst as he went down.

Beyond that, the story is rather maudlin: widow with young child (adorably cute but needy) is seeking to find a new life in the right man. Meets the right man. Faces personal trial, child grows wiser. Plot with trial of quasi-Santa (yes, he is lovable, even as an assailant). The ending is a bit ambiguous, which at least adds some subtlety.

I did like this as a kid, but more because you watch in season than for the story itself. This viewing reinforced that.

This is a great investment! Although I would have enjoyed seeing the color version in HD just as well as the B&W it was well worth my money and the video quality is outstanding, along with the 5.1 DTS-HD MA.
