Great!! submitted by 0liviap0pp on July 31, 2011, 11:26am This movie is one with a huge moral. We are doing this as a production (musical).

Great Movie submitted by jarroyo on June 24, 2013, 1:39pm This is such a classic movie. I love watching it every Christmas. It is a very entertaining movie with a great message.

classic must see holiday film submitted by manz on July 7, 2013, 2:59pm This film must be watched every holiday season. There's no way around it in my household. And I cry EVERY time. It really makes you value your worth and the value of every single soul around you and the effect we have on each other's lives. Sigh. it's almost Christmas!

A Frank Capra / Jimmy Stewart classic submitted by hathaway1066 on August 3, 2013, 12:37am Not only great because of the director and star, but also for the supporting roles by Lionel Barrymore and various character actors. Great holiday movie, but also great movie about classic view of little guy vs. powerful, moneyed interests.
