Every time a bell rings I think of this movie

Rating: Null/10 (31 January 1999)

Suicidal George Bailey is given a chance to see what the world would be like if he had never been born, and through his story we learn that our actions affect other people in ways we may not comprehend. The scene I love most, that still gives me chills just thinking about it, is the scene in the cemetery when George discovers that his brother Harry, whom he rescued from drowning when they were kids, wasn't the only hero who saved some soldiers on a troop transport. "Those men died! Harry wasn't there to save them because you weren't there to save Harry!" In the 1970's, when blank VHS tapes cost $30 and I had to be selective in using them, this was the first film I recorded for my collection. It's a perfect film. I wouldn't change a frame. And I'll always get teary when Clarence gets his wings.
