It's A Wonderful Life

[rowanwitch]

It wasnt, I hadn't seen it before I just don't get how everyone thinks it's so brilliant. It was too long, and hammy as heck. I kept watching to be able to say I had.... Life's too short.

[burlyshirley]

I think it's lovely. I've got it on now on + 1.

[naomi24]

So do I, Shirley.

[rowanwitch]

Enjoy if it's your thing.

I watch it every christmas eve whilst we have some sold pork and pickles, its a tradition, its the only one i have.

[Paigntonian]

Can't bear it. Too sugary, too obvious, too contrived. But, hey, if it floats your boat that's great.

[Stickybottle]

It’s a good film and all the more relevant in the current climate.

Basically, no matter what life throws at you, it’s never as bad as you think.

Decidedly poignant at this present time.

[piggynose]

Sold pork?

[elliemay1]

I don't like it either. I found it depressing

\\Sold pork?//

Yeah, its like cold pork only different.

Its a very old film and like many others I used to love as a child, its now very dated. I've outgrown it now but some people keep it as a Christmas tradition. I can imagine how unappealing it would be to someone who didnt grow up with it.

[Prudie]

It has grown on me over the years. The last 10 minutes brings a lump to my throat.

I love it, it was not on last year on any channel, this year, it's listed for a few channels, I sat today and watched it with my sister - she in her home in a different town, me here, and we messaged each other and we just love it, all planning for Christmas is put to one side to just sit and watch it. It's like a parable, kind of reminds us why we are important in other people's lives and they in ours

[Georgiesmum]

Ive not seen it but it reminded me of the other day, everyone kept saying the ELF was one of the best christmas films ever. Last week I finally watched it for the first time and to be honest at the end I thought to myself whu does everyone else think its a wonderful film? I wouldnt want to watch it again. I think Polar Express IS A FAR BETTER FILM. wGAT DOES EVERYONE ELSE THINK?

[Georgiesmum]

Sorry-the end bit wasnt meant to be in capitals , oops.x

[naomi24]

For me 'Nativity' is one of those^ films. I thought it ridiculous.

[bednobs]

I also do not get the appeal of self. It's a wonderful life is ok

[bednobs]

Self? I meant elf

[david small]

It always makes me reach for the tissues.

[sanmac]

Too much Christmassy stuff on this evening, so I'll be watching 2 episodes of "Married With Children"...Those will be good for a few laughs.

Makes me reach for the remote:-/
