8.8/10. An incredible, life-affirming movie that has enough of a dark heart to earn the amazingly heart-warming sequence at the film's climax. Some of the angel stuff gets a little silly at points, but it's still just a stellar look at the advantages and pitfalls of the road not traveled, what doing and being good takes from you, and the invisible but strong connections within a community that form when a noble man takes the world on his shoulders when he has to. Stewart gives the performance of a lifetime, selling the nobility but vulnerability of George Bailey with perfection, the highs and lows and joys and anger and despondency and glee of the character with unparalleled commitment, charm, and pathos. This one's a classic for a reason.
It was the most beautiful and emotional movie I have ever seen, I recommend it to everyone. This movie was there when I needed it the most, it shows how much one man can make a difference in the world, no matter what he does, and how we sometimes don't even realize what impact our very own existence can have on other people's lives.
I absolutely love this movie!! Easily one of the greatest musicals ever made featuring 2 of my favourite songs, "The Trolley Song" and of course, "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas". MGM really gave this their all with 5 star choreography, costumes, and production with a simple, relatable story set in the early 1900s. There's never a dull moment. I was entertained the entire time. In fact, by the time it finished, I was left wanting more. Even in an ensemble cast like this, Judy Garland stands out. The amount of talent she had is just amazing. Also, you could tell how much Vincente Minnelli loved and adored her, because she has never looked so beautiful, youthful, and full of energy than in this film. This is one of her best performances, after The Wizard of Oz & A Star is Born.
Great film noir with one of my favourites Gene Tierney. Lots of surprises in this movie regarding the magical Laura. A great watch if you love murder mysteries. Great to see how the unraveling of Laura’s murder is tied in with the investigator falling in love with the victim.

So they call me "concentration camp" Ehrhardt
I died laughing, amazing movie!
One of the only movies that's almost fifty years older than I am that I actually love
It's well made and pretty depressing. Henry Fonda was really good.
Excellent movie about the Great Depression, that was created and watched while the Great Depression was still happening. It's a piece of history if nothing else.
Intriguing, mysterious with a lot of humour, The Lady Vanishes it's so fun to watch! The acting is great. Margaret Lockwood and Michael Redgrave were so funny together!
Overall, another absolutely great film from Alfred Hitchcock.
The first to win all five major Oscars and it shows. Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert are great together. The story is entertaining and funny.
That's brilliant!!!!
It's a must watch movie don't miss it!
Sadness and joy in the same movie
Another one of The Tramp's adventures in film, an what a lovely one! In this City Lights, The Tramp tries to help a poor and blind flower girl he has fallen in love with.
So many great scenes where Chaplin delivered a magnificient and touching performance once again.
Comedy, drama and romance all mixed together to create a beautiful piece of cinema.
Written, directed, scored and performed by the incredible Charlie Chaplin.
