I'm not sure why I watched this Christmas morning, while eating breakfast and opening gifts at my in-laws' house. I first discovered this film in college; it was a favorite of my freshman roommate and his friends while they were quite drunk. It's a good story, with some memorable quotes, but it seems barely elevated to a level worthy of a 24-hour television marathon.

It's a Wonderful Life
My family has watched this every Christmas Eve for 20-odd years. In the recent past (read, as often as possible) I've been away due to commitments with my wife's family. This year I was back in time to watch most of it.
It's not that it's a bad film; indeed, it's a truly wonderful movie with fantastic casting, terrific acting, and a solid script. Sure there are things that seem out of place today, but for its time it pushed boundaries. (How dare the film end without the bad guy being caught?!?) I've just seen it Too Many Times.
