If anyone here hasn't seen "It's a Wonderful Life" - 1946, B&W movie...I would highly recommend you take an hour out of your life for it. It must be ranked among the top 100 of movies ever made. If you've got anything of a heart, you can't watch that and not be moved; maybe even cry.

I'm laughing on the outside. My smile is just skin deep. Inside I'm really crying, perhaps you'd join me for a weep.

Fun fact about that movie: When it was made, it was pretty much universally panned and disliked. So much so, in fact, that the movie studio let the copyright lapse, making it "Public Domain." Once it became free to air, TV stations started playing it around the holidays because it was free to show. And because it was free, everyone aired and every year, so it became the holiday tradition it is today...

My fav b&w christmas movie: Miracle on 34th Street

The film currently holds a 94% "Fresh" rating on the review aggregate website Rotten Tomatoes with a consensus that the film is "irrefutable proof that gentle sentimentalism can be the chief ingredient in a wonderful film, a film that delivers a warm holiday message without resorting to treacle."
