Steven and John love this movie so much that this deep dive was very close to expanding into three episodes but with a little holiday magic they managed to fit the whole thing in two. This isn't just a wonderful Christmas movie but a deep one as well with plenty of ideas to contemplate and discuss. However, perhaps the best thing about It's a Wonderful Life is how it can help put your own life into perspective and help you redefine what's really important to you.
Happy Holidays Cine-Files!!! We'll see you next year.
