Yes, it's a little older, and in black and white. But, IT's A WONDERFUL LIFE is one of my family's holiday favorites. Watching the movie on Christmas Eve has been our tradition for as long as I can remember.
The 1946 film nominated for five oscars: Best Actor in a Leading Role for
James Stewart, Best Director for Frank Capra, Best Film Editing for William Hornbeck, Best Sound/Recording for John Aalberg, and Best Picture. It won a Cincema Writers Circle award in Spain for best foreign film. Frank Capra also won a Golden Globe for best motion picture director.
George Bailey is a businessman who has lost his purpose in life. He plans on commiting suicide on Christmas Eve, but an angel is sent to him to prevent him from such drastic measures. Most of the film is about George Bailey's life leading up to this point, starting with his childhood.
IT's A WONDERFUL LIFE is a great story about being thankful for what you have and focusing on what really matters when times are tough. It is funny, sad, and totaly original. There's no better old film to watch with family around the holidays.
My Grade: A+
