For as long as I can remember, 1946’s “It’s a Wonderful Life” has been my favorite Christmas movie.
Yes, it’s the most cliché choice possible, but Frank Capra’s heart-warming flick about a man named George Bailey (played with effortless charm by the great James Stewart) who is shown what life would be like if he's never existed, hits all the notes you could want from a holiday-themed movie. And its crowd-pleasing ending will leave your spirit soaring and your soul nourished.
