The best Family/Feel-good movie ever made!

Rating: Null/10 (21 September 2002)

Right, as I write this there are EIGHTY shopping days (not including Sundays) left until Christmas!
What a depressing thought, eh?
Anyway, with this in mind, I have decided to submit my review of the, and I do mean- 'THE', best Family/Feel-good Movie ever made...
Frank Capra's: It's a wonderful Life.
(Added to which, it is, by far and away, my personal all-time favorite.)
Many, many words (not all complimentary) have been written about this Classic Yuletide tale, so what makes mine any different from the rest?
In truth, probably nothing! But by damn it, I'll have my say! You hear?
This Film is a Classic, of a by-gone time, where life seemed so much more innocent, than it does today, and boy does it show! Don't get me wrong, this is not a bad thing. Not by a long-shot! In fact, it is this overwhelming sence of innocence, which gives the Film it's undeniable charm. That, at it's best, can melt the coldest of Hearts! No small wonder then, that, after a decidedly shaky beginning, this Film has been consistently voted as America's all-time favorite Movie, and one of the best Film's ever made. To which, I whole-heartedly concur.
Best seen with all your family around, during the Festive season, this Film, in my humble opinion, can NOT be beat, and will ALWAYS be, as far as I'm concerned, the TOPS!
"That-a-boy Clarence!"
