The Santa Clause (1994)
Number nine on my list is a film that just makes me exceedingly weepy, then again, so do the majority of festive films. Tim Allen plays Scott Calvin who works with toys for a living and occasionally has his son Charlie over (though not happily). All of it changes one Christmas Eve when Charlie hears a clatter and suddenly they both find a man in a red suit on the roof. Unfortunately the man in the suit falls off the roof, and this is where our film begins. The pair of them have supposedly a rather vivid dream, but is Scott really becoming Santa Claus?
You've probably seen it. They always put it on during Christmas, and it's loathed by many apparently. I'm afraid I like my cheesy Christmas films, especially with Tim the Tool man Taylor. It just inhabits a rather spirited holiday feel, and yet again, santa. Santa is cool man, let me love santa. Also Bernard. Bernard is love (David Krumholtz).
Memorable Quote: Seeing isn't believing. Believing is seeing.
Honorable Santa-mention:
Elf (2003) Will Ferrell is beyond adorable as Buddy the Elf with his childlike manners and true joy for Christmas. His joy for the holidays makes this a truly endearing watch. Also Zoe Dechanel and him team up for a 'Baby it's cold outside'. Brief but brilliant.
