25) MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET

Director: George Seaton

Actors: Maureen O'Hara, Natalie Wood, Edmund Gwenn, 

John Payne, Gene Lockhart, Porter Hall, Thelma Ritter

Year: 1947

In this 1947 heart-felt film, Kris Kringle takes a job as the Santa at Macy's. Before long, he is a hit with everyone... except the event director Doris Walker (O'Hara), who doesn't believe in fairy-tales. This is a great family film, which will win you over with it's compassion and endearment, not to mention the cutest performance by a 9-year-old Natalie Wood.

Actors: Natalie Wood, Richard Beymer, Rita Moreno,

George Chakiris, Russ Tamblyn, Tucker Smith, Tony Mordente,

Jose De Vega, David Winters, Eliot Feld

Year: 1961

It's my pick for the second greatest movie musical of all time (you'll find out my top choice later). "West Side Story" is a masterpiece, with a beautiful story (an adaptation of "Romeo and Juliet"), a tremendous cast, amazing songs, and choreography that still holds strong today. This sequence is the first of two I've picked from this flick.
