Love this movie. The special effects are pretty bad and it may be a tad cheesy but it's a great feel good movie and Jimmy Stewart is fantastic as always. Also Mr. Potter has to be one of the most evil people to ever appear in non-slasher film!

I understand It's a Wonderful Life has a huge cast, and thankfully this entry isn't missing the lead actors like some on Flickchart, but it'd be nice to credit Gloria Grahame.

It's a Wonderful Life is my all-time favorite movie! It's funny, sad and heartwarming. I watch it every Christmas even though it's not your typical Christmas movie. It's sad to watch George slowly fall into despair and really heartwarming for him to see what a wonderful life he's had.
Everybody should watch it at least once.
