There might be performances that equal James Stewart's, but this is arguably the best performance ever captured on film and George Bailey is one of the greatest characters ever. I love this film so much.

Simply a classic. Jimmy Stewart shines as does the rest of the cast to weave a wonderful tale of Christmas, the meaning of life, and the ups and downs of living it. The acting is top notch and the script is very witty and knows exactly how to drive the movie. Just pure gold 10/10

I can't believe I hadn't seen this yet! The payoff for everything that happens in this movie is amazing. Almost put me to tears.

Wow. I was actually missing something, and here I thought I'd know every beat thanks to countless parodies and homages. Somehow, I thought we'd spend most of the film with George and Clarence walking around a Georgeless universe, but I realize that wouldn't have made any sense. We need to know what he's leaving behind, and who would suffer from his loss. It's the story of a man who only thinks he's screwed up his life, who doesn't give the right weight to the life he's had. And while we know his downfall is inevitable, one wonders how it'll happen, because for all his dashed ambitions, George has it pretty good. I really want to see more Frank Capra films now, as I quite like this kind of optimistic story telling (heck, he doesn't even feel the need to punish his villain!). Optimism isn't cheesy (though the ending perhaps crosses into dairy product), not when it's contrasted with despair. This is, after all, a story in which a man contemplates suicide. And if it were just a Scrooge-like time travel/what if fantasy with a hopeful message, I'm sure I would have enjoyed it. Why would I want to see it again? Because the script is so damn witty and sharp! Entertaining, charming, touching, yep, need to watch it next Christmas.
