So... I just watched this movie for the first time in my life as an adult and I found it to be unadulterated garbage. It mixes so much Christianity and so much Capitalism into a thin story none of which should go together at all. And a movie about suicide for the holidays? Why does this get worshipped? It's not happy or funny.

A very moving picture. Though I expected something different to happen when the angel showed up. Because of that the ending didn't do it for me. Is everybody just going to forget about the stupidity of crazy ol' Billy? Holy mackerel! James Stewart steals the show. It's crazy to think he just got back from the war.

This take us through America's own period of prosperity and depression. Stellar performance from James Stewart makes it that much more powerful. Has a few moments that are a bit cloying, and perhaps have earned it. It still remains to this day, one of the few films that knows what it means to have the spirit of Christmas.

Not just a feel-good Christmas movie but also an amazing film that succeeds spectacularly in pulling the heart strings, thanks largely to the sincerity of the film in general and James Stewart's performance in particular. I do think that the angel bits are a bit too whimsical for what is otherwise a film strictly grounded in reality (well, 1940s Hollywood reality at least), but that is all pushed aside quite easily with that terrific ending.

One of the greatest movies of all time featuring a great story that is both heart-wrenching and heart-warming. A must watch for anyone around the Christmas period.
