It's a Wonderful Life (1946, Movie)

The film cost an astounding $6.3 million dollars to produce and opened so poorly as to be considered a flop. It was nominated for 5 Oscars without a single award. The Academy blew this one big time. AFI (American Film Institute) considers this film the 11th greatest film of the last 100 years (100 Years…100 Movies). The acting is superb. The direction is fabulous and the story eternal. It's a feel-good movie that reminds us to count our blessings, whatever they may be and however different they are from what we expected.
