It was the most beautiful and emotional movie I have ever seen, I recommend it to everyone. This movie was there when I needed it the most, it shows how much one man can make a difference in the world, no matter what he does, and how we sometimes don't even realize what impact our very own existence can have on other people's lives.

This is one of my all time favorite films and the recent re-watch did not move me from this conviction. The character of George Bailey, played by Jimmy Stewart at the height of his abilities, is so easy to relate to and a wonderful human being. He's not always a great guy...he has an anger management issue and is sometimes consumed with revenge, but you can't help pulling for him. Lionel Barrymore's Mr. Potter is a treat to watch and Henry Travers as Clarence enters the film just when it is darkest to buoy it to a lighter tone. This is a classic for a reason! 10/10

A true classic - I can't believe I've never seen it before. Watched it with the kids, and they were slow to get into it, but were fully engrossed as soon as [spoiler] Clarence jumped in the water![/spoiler]. Of course, we had to watch the colorized version - they wouldn't even attempt the black and white version.

Although the rate of inflation really is evident in this one, the story and the meaning still hold up extremely well. It did spur on a discussion about inflation, though, which the kids were fascinated by. Adjusted for inflation, $8,000.00 in 1946 is equal to $108,362.20 in 2018. Whoa!

_It's a Wonderful Life_ is a beautiful film and a true classic. It's often considered one of the best films ever made, and I am inclined to agree.

Took me three years to watch this, but each time I fail to get around to it. Now I finally do and feel like I want to cry for hours. A film that's so depressing and yet jolly. Showing how everyone is relevant in the darkness of times.

Also, James Stewart is one handsome son of a b**ch.

Merry Christmas everyone!

An absolute masterpiece. I can't believe that I waited 40 years to watch it. It's now in our yearly Christmas rotation.

Well old or cheesy as this may seem to nowadays public, still this is one of the reasons why movie making exist. Period.
