Fictional Places You Donât Want To Visit (205 movies items)"Pottersville, New York Itâs the alternate universe version, of Bedford Falls, New York, had George Bailey never been born. Why you wouldnât want to visit: Mr. Potter has turned this town, into a place where bars and clubs are on every corner, morality barely exists, and life is cheap."
“It's a Wonderful Life is something truly special, and along with Scrooge, the original Miracle on 34th Street and Home Alones 1 and 2, it is something I watch every Christmas. Why? Because I love this movie, seriously I do. Looking through my 1000 or so reviews here, I couldn't believe I hadn't reviewed this movie; I have seen movies that I have loved and cherished since childhood and I have seen movies that belong at the bottom of the garbage. It's a Wonderful Life belongs to the former, although I am 17, I appreciate a good movie when I see one. This is more than a good movie, it's a timeless masterpiece, that holds up on repeated viewings and never loses its magic.
It's a Wonderful Life could have easily been overly-sentimental and clichĂ©d, but the quality of the direction an” read more
Tis The Season For My Fave X-Mas Films & Specials (30 movies items)"Okay, I gotta be honest here: I'm not that big of a fan of this flick. I don't think it's horrible or anything, it's just that it doesn't really do anything for me However, whenever I exclude IaWL from any of my lists of holiday faves, I tend to get inundated with a bunch of gasping queries like "Why the f%@k isn't 'It's A Wonderful Life' on your list?!". And it's usually asked with the same level of intensity as if I had butt-raped the commentor's grandmother. So, to spare me from such respon"

“Me ha sorprendido mucho esta pelĂcula. No esperaba que me fuese a gustar tanto.
Si bien toda la fantasĂa del ĂĄngel es muy apropiada para el tono navideño no deja de ser una manera inverosimil para salvar al protagonista.
El final de la primera hora y inicio de la segunda se puede llegar a hacer largo y sin duda yo hubiera acortado esto pasando directamente a lo del ĂĄngel . TambiĂ©n habrĂa omitido el inicio con el ĂĄngel como estrella hablando con Dios en forma de galaxias o lo que sea. Saca mucho de onda aĂșn siendo fantĂĄstico todo el proceso para que George no se mate.
Incluso alguien podrĂa decir que el final es muy complaciente y poco realista. Pero fuck it.
El punto quedĂł claro: si te comportas bien con la gente la gente te lo compensarĂ” read more

“This is a very good movie. Period. A "classic", I don't think so. This is a movie whose actual quality has been exceeded by its hype--though NOT because the producers or actors hyped it (like the typical overblown and over-hyped Hollywood film). In fact, when it was released it was not particularly successful (especially compared to other Frank Capra flicks).
No, instead it reached legendary status for TWO reasons alone. It was a public domain video (hence NO ROYALTIES REQUIRED FOR SHOWING IT) AND its setting for the movie's conclusion was the holiday season. These two factors worked together to BLITZ the American public from the 1980s to the late 90s (until its copyright status was restored). I remember these dark days, when It's A Wonderful Life was literally shown on half a do” read more

Indeed, I have noticed that some classics donât really age that well, at least, thatâs my opinion and sometimes I have a hard time to connect with them. However"
