I just watched It's a Wonderful Life again. I watch it every year and never tire of it. It's such a nice movie. Does anyone else here like it? What I really like about it is that it's so positive. Especially if you know that Christmas is, sadly, a time when suicides are quite often. (or so I've heard)
I think Clarence puts it best:
"Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives. When he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?" :angel:
That is so true.
And besides, Lionel Barrymore as Mr. Potter makes a great villain. He's just so heartless you can't help but hate the jerk. I always love the scene where he offers George a job and he tells him:
" In thewhole vast configuration of things, I'd say you were nothing but a scurvy little spider. You... [to Potter's assistant] And that goes for you too! [to Potter's secretary] And it goes for you too!
I'll bet the secretary was thinking "What's his problem?" ;)

It's one of my Dad's favorite movies, so I grew up watching it. ^^ It's a classic film. Hard to believe it did so poorly when it first came out.

Frank Capra and Jimmy Stewart so what's not to love?
I haven't seen it for ages but it is one of those films I remember growing up with on tv,the other being The Wizard of Oz.
