I made an IMDb account so that I could post this comment--best movie

Rating: 10/10 (5 December 2016)

This movie is the classic of all classics and without doubt my favorite movie. I watch it every year and it's magic every time; it's an integral part of my Christmas season. Jimmy Stewart steals the show, representing the best of humankind. The movie captures real human emotions and experience--the difficulty of giving up a dream, the despair that comes with the fear of losing loved ones, and the hope that comes because in people, deep down in their mushy hearts, is goodness. This movie affirms my confidence in humanity.
The only thing that makes me sad is that I don't think they'll ever top this.
