James Stewart’s screams for Clarence’s help, breaking down into sobs, as he pleads for the chance to just LIVE again, has my vote for the most powerful moment of acting in any movie, ever.
I disagree. That's only a movie, not real life. In real life Mary would be sleeping with Sam Wainwright and George would go to jail. Nobody would help him. George is a failure, because he had a chance to work for Potter and make something of himself. Like me, George failed himself, his wife and kids, just like myself, sad to say.@@josetirado3680
Quite possibly the best movie ever made. The story of enduring and keeping morals through hardships will never not be beautiful, and the story culminating in George's good deeds all catching up to him always brings a tear to my eye
Im a 16 year old who is obsessed with old films, and this is the oldest one that has made me cry. The message, the story, the season, its beautiful and iconic. It truly is a wonderful life!
I’m 20 and so I’m I. I do love It’s A Wonderful Life and I do agree. It’s one of my favorite and comfort movies. I agree the ending is so heartwarming, I’m in tears every time. One of my favorite movie endings.
A very emotional finale, but what makes me cry every time is when Harry says, “To my big brother George, the richest man in town” as the crowd cheers wildly.
As a combat vet when I see him breaking down and crying it takes me back and I can understand his emotions. When I see them all standing and singing Auld Lang Syne you see in each of them another year of life passing and hope for a brighter tomorrow. Hands down the best Christmas movie ever lade even compared to now. Another bit of irony is that in the movie he was deemed 4F for his hearing and his brother a decorated pilot when in reality Jimmy Stewart was a decorated pilot who saw it all over there and served with honor.
I majored in English, but I was never able to teach. However, I told a number of teachers what I would do with this film. I would assign an essay where the student would explain what they felt the world would be like if THEY had never been born. It is truly an overwhelming thought to find out what contributions you made in your life. I also believe anyone contemplating abortion or suicide needs to see this film and make a list of what would happen in this world without a certain person because, as Clarence said, "You really had a wonderful life, George. Wouldn't it be a shame to throw it all away?
This is my favorite movie. I've had two kidney transplants. The first one was 20 years 3 months. My second one is 6months and going strong. It's a wonderful life.
I just turned 50 in mid-September 2024. This movie and especially this scene here I am completely defenseless to prevent from making me tear up and really bad. Thank you for putting this up here.

We so easily define our success by whether or not we make enough money or have enough assets that we fail to realize that when you have abundance of family and friends, who love you you’re already rich. I would rather be rich with friends and family that love and care about me Then to be the wealthiest man and be alone. I couldn’t live like that I don’t care how rich I was. That was the contrast between George Bailey and Mr. Potter.
Why do I have a very strong memory of Porter coming back in giving back the money? Re-watching it this Christmas. I’m shocked that she not in there. I have a very good memory of it.
Oh Man, From "The only way to stop being broke" by Better Ideas The session brought Me here! I'm looking for the full Movie. Can't believe this brought Me tears of joy, now what will the whole movie do to Me.
Drew: Mr. Bailey, we owe you an apology. I found $8,000 in Mr. Potter’s office. Since you’re the only one looking for it, I thought it was yours. George Bailey: (relieved) I was worried about this! Drew: We’re suing Mr. Potter for this!
My favorite movie scene. This is a minor quibble but a bit of the top and bottom of the original was cut off to get a letterbox effect and I would like to see the end credits.
There is a great old SNL skit with an “alternate ending” of the movie. Uncle Billie remembers what he did with the money and the whole town goes after Potter and beats him to death!
Rich people get away with a lot. That's still true. What happens in real life is what should get people shocked and furious. But as far as the movie, the whole point was that Potter may have gotten away with stealing the $8000, but he still lost. He was, as the movie says, a warped frustrated old man. George was the one who was truly rich, in the ways that mater.
Well, considering that God unambiguously exists in this setting, and is 100% on George's side, I wouldn't count on Potter getting away with it for long.
7:15 look near the upper left by the round thing you see a 1000 dollar bill. Did those exist back then? Also the cropping really ruins this they should have kept the original ratio
Why was Uncle Billy allowed to carry the money in the laundry basket? Guess they didnt pay attention to the early part of the movie. When he brought the basket in it should've been filled with laundry.😮
Don't see it that way. It showed how much goes wrong if THIS particular person was not born, because he was a good person. But a movie of Potter never having been born would show how much better things would have been for everyone. Same is true in real life. The world would have been better if Hitler, Ted Bunny, and other evil people had never been born.

This 56 year old bloke bawls every time he watches these last scenes
@@michaelhawkins92This 58 year also has "allergy" issues at the end of the movie. LOL>
My favorite ending scene of any movie, I want an angel 1st class, though, who already has his wings
Remember, no man is a failure who has friends. 😇
I agree
❤
Thanks for the wings, love Clarence

Do you know what song they are singing at the end?
@@lt3746 Auld Lang Syne

Impossible not to get emotional with this movie. Help others, that's the true christmas spirit.

Good comment until you mentioned abortion, women have a right to choose
My life is a complete failure and I have friends, so having friends doesn't mean you can't be a failure, like myself.

I got introduced to this movie through Sesame Street's Elmo Saves Christmas.
I usually try to make a strong effort to tune into this movie 🎥as well as The Christmas Carol with Alastor Sims the original version. 💝🎄
Happy New Year to you, in jail! Mr. Potter is such a tool 😂

What happened to Mr. Potter after George Bailey got the money?
George ran him over

The most prolife movie EVER, and it does not even allude to abortion. It shows how much in our world goes haywire when one single person is not born!
Don't see it that way. It showed how much goes wrong if THIS particular person was not born, because he was a good person. But a movie of Potter never having been born would show how much better things would have been for everyone. Same is true in real life. The world would have been better if Hitler, Ted Bunny, and other evil people had never been born.
He's only the richest man in town cause old Sam "Hee Haw" Wainwright made something of himself and fronted him that cash 😆😆😆😉
If you think the money is why he’s the richest man in town you missed the point
