Absolutely Wonderful!

Rating: 10/10 (21 June 2007)

Frank Capra's It's a Wonderful Life is my favourite movie. Every aspect of this movie is brilliant, from the script to the acting. It's the ultimate feel good movie, an absolute classic. It has the best ending of any film I've ever seen, which always brings tears of joy to my eye. No wonder this movie was prescribed by psychiatrists for depression. There is something magical about this movie which has never been recreated.
I recognised lots or parts from The Simpsons, especially the scene in the bank. I also recognised the Christmas scenes from other movies, such as Die Hard where McClean's daughter is watching It's a Wonderful Life. By no means is this movie only to be watched at Christmas time. I saw it for the first time this year, and then a second time because it was so good. And I've never seen snow in my life and it wasn't anywhere near Christmas time.
I've seen the majority of movies that are consistently voted the greatest of all time, and It's a Wonderful is my favourite. It has my full recommendation to EVERYONE, no matter what time of year, and especially if your feeling down.
