“You see George, you've really had a wonderful life. Don't you see what a mistake it would be to just throw it away?”
This film was directed by Frank Capra and stars James Stewart, Donna Reed, Henry Travers, and Lionel Barrymore
This is my favorite Christmas movie, James Stewart is a genius actor, I love his anger, his enthusiasm, his passion, every detail in his acting is phenomenal. Anyone who says they don't like the movie has not paid attention to the story. Every little event and scene has meaning for the rest of the movie. Every character is played by the best possible person and the acting is great for the time. This is a real timeless classic that is a must-watch during Christmas, you will not regret it.

The story is excellent, the characters are so well written, the acting is incredible, and even the set pieces and filming locations are wonderful to look at, this whole film is such a joy to watch. The amazing thing about that movie is that no matter when you watch it, the idea of the movie will never get old. This movie truly is amazing. It makes you understand the importance of human life and how very important we all are.
“Merry Christmas, movie house! Merry Christmas, Emporium! Merry Christmas, you wonderful old Building and Loan!”
This movie is an absolute masterpiece in my mind, however when the movie was first released, the critic reviews were so bad that it was being shown on cable for free. The reason why it became such a classic is over the years is because people started to notice how good the movie really was and it became one of the most iconic Christmas classics of all time. This movie truly makes you appreciate your life, and I will forever love it for that.
Overall I feel that this is not only the greatest Christmas movie ever but ONE OF THE GREATEST FILMS EVER MADE.
10/10

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
