Frank Capra's more timeless films seem to be the caffeine of classic Hollywood. They're peppy, fun to consume and leave you with a positive buzz until the cold hard realities of your world set in.

One of the finest examples of this Capra rush is the holiday classic "It's A Wonderful Life". The film adroitly tells the story of small-town hero George Bailey and the many lives he tou... read more

"WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD The Story: George Bailey is depressed, on the verge of ending his life. But his guardian angel, Clarence, descends from heaven to try and give George a boost to stop him from committing suicide. The Boohoo Moment: The final scene in the movie, when the town shows their appreciation for George and pitch in cash to help... I'm a wreck no matter how many times I watch it. Then when George reads "No man is a failure who has friends," I can no longer hold back tears. I saw t"

Movie Reviews (part 5) (50 movies items)

" The Ups: Necessary uplifting viewing at Christmas and a great alternate take on "A Christmas Carol". James Stewart sells the movie with his heartfelt and honest performance. The Downs: The ending could only happen in the movies. "
