I still watch "It's A Wonderful Life" without fail every Christmas. It's like a ritual - like watching "Die Hard". It tells the story of a man trying to help his community, finally brought to his lowest ebb and contemplating ending his life. But as he is about to do so, he visited by a man called Clarence, who, it ...

Last night, my husband and I sat down with a nice glass of wine and an Indian takeaway, all set to indulge in watching one of our all time favourite films - 'It's a Wonderful Life!'

"I picked up something from your era", I said to Mum as I left HMV with a bag full of films and waved It's a Wonderful Life at her. Her frown of disapproval told me that I was in trouble! Frank Capra's touching masterpiece, beloved of audiences around the world, is actually precisely the same vintage as Mum who would probably ...

Christmas telly 2002 has been the worst in living memory as far as I'm concerned. Nothing but repeats, lowbrow tosh and highbrow ballet. However, there has been one repeat I have watched with delight, a film so uplifting and utterly Christmassy that the season just wouldn't be the same without it. And not only was it a repeat, but a ...

Oh what can't you say about the movie? It's a classic by far. Christmas just isn't Christmas without it. It's a very heart warming movie. Jimmy Steward is wonderful as George Bailey. He added so much to the movie. His running down the street yelling "Merry Christmas" to everyone and every thing he saw was ...

James Stewart, perhaps not renowned for sentimental and romantic movies plays George Bailey in this classic movie. Perhaps inspired by the classic 'Scrooge' this movie deals with relaity and fiction very cleverly and makes it very believable. The Plot --- ---- George, who has dreams of traveling around Europe and ...

~ ~ This delightful and heart-warming film was first released in the USA way back in the mists of time, or to be more precise, fifty five years ago, in 1946. It is a classic in every sense of the word, and ranks among the top ten movies ever made, and certainly comes very close to being number one in my own personal top ten list. ~ ~ ...

Fifty-plus opinions in, and up until now, I've put off writing about 'It's A Wonderful Life'. Why? Because whenever people ask me what my favourite film is, I'll usually pick this...although I could probably come up with a top 100, and still be torn about some of the exclusions. The reason I've left it so long is ...

It's a Wonderful Life is definitely a family favourite in our house. None of my family had seen it before I was given it as a Christmas gift a few years ago.
