You want a classic? Here it is

Rating: 10/10 (10 July 2000)

All the elements come together to make this movie a must-see for anyone with a heart.
Ever wonder what life would be like without you? Frank Capra transformed a wonderful story into a moving, forceful display of the human spirit. And Jimmy Stewart was never better. Every conceivable emotion (even a little lust!) comes through loud and clear, and right on the money. His "mad" stare into the camera near the end will never, ever leave you.
This movie is a tradition for me every Christmas. It's a postcard from a different time, when small-town Christmases meant community, family, a light dusting of snow... and a reminder that the love of community and family is the reason for living. Put this in your top ten movies of all time, and it'll be up to you to put it number 1.
