Have you watched this movie this year yet? If not you better get on that. It's a Wonderful Life is a classic Christmas movie. It came out in 1946, and is based on a short story by Philip Van Doren Stern called "The Greatest Gift"
The film is about a man named George Bailey (James Stewart) who gives up his dreams in order to help others. One Christmas Eve he is about to comment suicide, which brings down his guardian angel Clarence Odbody (Henry Travers.) Clarence shows George what life would be like if he was never born, about how many people his life has touched.
The movie actually did very poorly at the box office due to high production costs and stiff competition at the time. The film has now come to be regarded as a classic, and is watched every Christmas by many people. The film has be recognized by the American Film Institute as one of the 100 best American films ever made placing number 11, it also place number 1 on the list of most inspirational American films of all time.
