It's a wonderful movie as well. I would usually have an issue with it if a film so outrageously claims that christianity is the one true religion, but I'll be damned, if a film does that then this is exactly how it should be done; in a way that will never offend a soul, done so casually that it's barely detectable.

This sentimental and honest motion picture conveys a fantastic story of self-realisation and the significance of a single human soul. There's little doubt that Capra's classic fantasy-drama has become practically synonymous with Christmas, and it's one of today's most popular Christmas movies. It's a Wonderful Life has become a seasonal favourite (despite producer-director Capra never intending it as a Christmas film) chiefly due to the crucial scene at the film's dénouement occurring on Christmas Eve, and (of course) because this is a film abo...Read more
