It's a Wonderful Life (1946) - 130 min

It's a Wonderful Life is an American fantasy drama film directed by Frank Capra.
Starring James Stewart, Donna Reed, Lionel Barrymore, Thomas Mitchell & Henry Travers.
"Every time a bell rings an angel gets his wings"
On a Christmas Evening George Bailey decides to kill himself. The prayers from his friends and family reaches to heaven. The Angels sent Clarence Odbody(Angel 2nd Class) to save George Bailey. George is a nice guy who abandon all his dreams to run his family business and now settled in Bedford Falls. Unfortunately, One day his uncle lost $8000 deposit that leaves their company to ruin.
It was actually a box-office flop at the time of its release and later became the Christmas movie classic. It's a 'feel good' movie and one of the greatest movies of all time. Frank Capra and James Stewart names are enough to watch this movie. Capra has a unique style of storytelling and also a master of casting. Overall, it's a must watch for all movie lovers and now there is a colorized version available if you don't like black and white print.
Verdict: Brilliant
