SweetAngel41 says "Love of Christmas" about It's a Wonderful Life

SweetAngel41 — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 14:13:31 GMT

This movie is a timeless classic, it is one of our favorite Christmas movies, we watch it every year and no matter how many times we've watched it, it still brings emotions out of me.

Even though I know how it's going to end, I still root for George Baily every time. Christmas in our house wouldn't be the same if this movie wasn't a part of it.

It truly is a wonderful family film. They do not make many movies today that can touch a person as deeply as this one can.

jadeval76 says "It's A Wonderful Life is a wonderful Christmas Movie" about It's a Wonderful Life

I cannot imagine Christmas without watching IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE~ I must have seen this movie 50 or more time in my lifetime~ In these times we live in it's so calming and refreshing to see a time when people cared about each other's well being and tried to help make everyones lives just a little bit better as Jimmy Stewart did in this move as George Bailey~ I used to make my children watch IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE when they were little and to be truthful they didn't like it too much~ But now they enjoy it as I do, seeing such warmth and compassion among people, friends and strangers, in times of need~ It's A Wonderful Life illlustrates perfectly the spirit of Christmas~ shows how Angels really do walk among us and guide us through tough times and everyday life and also how each and every one of us touch other peoples lives in ways we cannot imagine~

sherri3901 says "A Christmas tradition!" about It's a Wonderful Life

This Christmas tradition emphasizes the value of family over any material possessions. Watching George as a young child and realizing he had big dreams that would change as he grew older is a good reminder that it's okay to change your dreams, especially when the unexpected happens in life. Knowing that George has made an impact in his small community even when it was not what he had hoped to do is an inspiration for everyone. George even stands up to the "big money" in town and continues to fight for the less fortunate, even when it would have been easier for his family to sell out. The most famous part of this movie -- when George sees the world as it would be without him -- is a wonderful reminder that everything we do has an impact on others, for better or for worse. It's a Wonderful Life is a heartwarming movie and an excellent reminder of the things we should treasure most in life.

ellen68 says "excellent reminder of what is really important" about It's a Wonderful Life

I have been a fan of "It's A Wonderful Life" for as long as I can remember. I love the characters strength, especially George. I can relate to his fork in the road decision to do what is best for others or press on to pursue his own personal dreams. His choice of letting go of his dreams finally climax to the bottoming out of "what is the point of this dead end life"? His boredom and frustration leads him to the opportunity to have a glimpse into the other realm of what life would have been like had he not been born. It is a great reminder that every person regardless of age or background has a equal opportunity to truly contribute to the betterment of their life while being selfless in helping others to achieve their dreams too. I find this movie to be inspirational every time I see it. I love the fact that truth and good comes back and wins over the selfish greed of Potter and manipulative business practices that hurts so many others. The final scene with all of his family and friends...

It's a Wonderful Life. Jimmy Stuart and Donna Reed are young and beautiful. The acting and directing are great. There is heart wrenching conflict and the best of all happy endings. I break this DVD out every Christmas and am always surprised at how much I still enjoy this movie. Some may find it corny but I think this movie is a perfect little gift for the holidays.

MAMABUTERFLY says "A holiday must see." about It's a Wonderful Life

MAMABUTERFLY — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 04:21:24 GMT

I LOVE this movie! I think that at somepoint in there life everyone thinks "Everyone would be better of if I wasn't here". It's a Wonderful Life shows how great an impact just one avrage person can make on the world. Pointing out a simple mistake to a co-worker could mean the diffrence between that person keeping their job or not. If they loose there job their kids go without...ect...ect.... I watch this movie at least once every year just to remind me of that fact. Plus I just love the whole thing.

BlueRain says "Everyone should see this film!" about It's a Wonderful Life

BlueRain — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 23:13:47 GMT

I'm a big softie when it comes to movies and this one makes me cry every single time I view it. I guess I've seen it over 50 times and it still gets to me! I do believe it's a better movie for adults than it is for children, though. Children don't really understand what it is for someone to review their life and wonder what would have happened if you had never lived at all but we adults understand it all too well. Of course, it's Jimmy Stuart who really makes this film what it is and he gives a performance that is simply stunning in its totality. He goes through every emotion and his face reflects them all. It's the perfect Holiday film and one we should all watch every Christmas Season. It puts everything in perspective for you and the gifts all become secondary to the people we share our lives with. If you haven't seen this film, please at the very least rent it this year! You will not be sorry! Oh! Did you know that every time a bell rings, an angel gets its wings?...

I just got done with this game last night and I couldn't have asked for more. One of the best looking games have ever seen. Great story. For all the action that was going on on screen only once did I notice any slowdown. Games like this will keep the 360 at the top of my systems. I have not 1 single complant about this game. Can't wait for the Gears 3. Also the new weapons were fantastic. You must play!!! I just got done with this game last night and I couldn't have asked for more.

cproview says "Great Movie for All" about It's a Wonderful Life

cproview — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 21:33:07 GMT

It doesn't matter if you observe any religious practices or if you have a family, "It's a Wonderful Life" is one of those movies that hits our core of humanity. The beginning of the story finds the main character, George as a young man ready to pursue his destiny of freewheeling adventure or so he believes. Fate and life have other plans for him. Despite a happy marriage and loving family, he is still wistful for what might have been and feels that his life could have been so much more than just a small town family man and business partner in his family's firm.
It is when disaster strikes that George learns his greatest lessons from a most surprising and hilarious source.

KatSween says "Jimmy Stewart at his BEST!" about It's a Wonderful Life

KatSween — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 20:42:56 GMT

There's not many movies I can watch more than once, But It's a Wonderful Life is definitely one of them! I have to get it in at least once every Christmas season. What a wonderful message - appreciate what you have, the importance of family and friends, and the true meaning of success. The absolute best part of the movie is Jimmy Stewart. They just don't make them like him anymore! He's an everyday man, tries to do the right thing, care for his fellow man and his family to a fault. But when he's up against the wall his anger and frustration are almost scary. Thanks, Jimmy, for all you've given us!

This movie is great. I like the original the best. The remake was just not as good and the acting in it was not nearly on the same level.

The whole movie is clean and heartwarming.

It's a Wonderful Life is an overall great movie that gets you into the Christmas spirit. You can watch it with the whole family. Go see it!!!

The acting is really good overall and very believable. Even the acting of the children is great.

It makes you really think twice about complaining about your life and makes you realize you need to love and appreciate the life you already have. So cuddle up with a blanket and hot chocolate and start getting into the Christmas mood with this heartwarming classic. And please, see the origonal and not the re-make. It's worth it! And remember, It's a wonderful life! ha ha
