1. Never seen this and have no desire.
Does that make me a bad person?

2. Of course not. But it's a good movie, worth seeing.

9. Actually,
if you watch carefully, it's a very dark, very sinister and compelling movie.

Frank Capra knew what he was doing. Look beyond the "feel good" crap, and see what you find.

11. Nope...but your "Frank Capra Education" is way behind!
Gotta see this one...in the Black and White, not colorized version. (Probably best to rent it and see it without nasty commercials, too.)

16. I had no desire to see it for the longest time either.
I think I was 35 the first time I saw it from start to finish, and I completely changed my mind about the movie.

I now count it among my favorite holiday movies.

5. That's it. Out you two pixies go - through the door, or out the window.

Always loved that scene... :)

Yeah, I voted: "Get me. I'm givin' out wings."

10. I think The Simpson's character "Moe" is from Nick the bartender
I always loved him too and that line.

13. Get me. I'm givin' out wings.
This is the only line from this movie that I like.

I'm glad to see I'm not alone in my "dislike" of this movie.

15. Let me tell you something, Mr Potter...
Edited on Fri Dec-10-04 04:30 PM by edbermac
You sit around here and you spin your little webs and you think the whole world revolves around you and your money. Well, it doesn't, Mr. Potter. In the whole vast configuration of things, I'd say you were nothing but a scurvy little spider.

20. Mr. Potter = Dick Cheney
The resemblance is startling--both physically and personality-wise.

18. I just saw it for the first time
I'm Jewish, so I never really thought about watching a "Christmas Movie" before my girlfriend made me watch this, but it's actually pretty good.

19. I wish I had a tape of the SNL skit of IAWL...
They called it the missing reel of It's a Wonderful Life, Carvey was Jimmy Stewart, and I think Lovitz was Mr Potter.

Anyway they all start singing Auld Lang Syne at the end when the Uncle Billy character suddenly remembers he accidently gave the missing money to Potter. They all charge down to Potter's office, knock him out of his wheelchair and start beating the shit out of him...pretty funny stuff...

21. Right on! Or, did you ever see their "stick figure theatre"?
The scene of "Hey! My mouth's bleeding!"

Classic!

:D
