    This is without doubt one of the most beautifully sad, and also uplifting films of all time, it wouldnt be christmas without it, Agreat cast including Jimmy Stewart as George Bailey a down on his luck man, desperate, and saved from commiting suicide by his guardian angel Clarence. Donna Reed, as his glamerous wife and Lionel Barrymore as the nasty villian of the piece mr Potter, Frank Capra's beautiful Direction stands the test of time, even after 60 years, and is rightly one of the best films of all time, one of my all time faves, and am sure i'm not the only one who feels this.

    A classic Christmas movie, but the story isn't really about Christmas. A performance where Jimmy Stewart get to show some range. Through desperation his character considers ending his life, and then through desperation for his family and friends, the life he "lost," he learns an important lesson.

    The second best film Jimmy Stewart made ably supported by Donna Reed, Lionel Barrymore and Henry Travers as the angel. The story of George Bailey and his influence on the town of Bedford Falls.

    Quite simply the best film ever. If ever you feel down and disheartened, watch this film. it makes you realize that we are all special and that each of us touch so many other lives, be it for better or worse.

    This is a masterpiece of film. I can't say enough good things about it. Everything about it is excellent. James Stewart is amazing (as always) and Donna Reed is astounding. Of course, anyone who has seen this film, knows that the rest of the cast also did an excellent job.

    Such a timeless classic.
