[bbinacan]

[lunatica]

1. Pottersville should look pretty prescient and familiar now

[ChairmanAgnostic]

2. PLEEZE not colorized.

[bbinacan]

4. Not colorized. n/t

[alphafemale]

31. I haven't seen a colorized movie in ages actually.

That was a Ted Turner lark.

People hated it

[Pab Sungenis]

3. I really identify with George Bailey lately.

Unfortunately, no hordes of neighbors and townspeople at the door with baskets of money for me.

[midnight]

5. Thanks.

[Peregrine Took]

6. I wonder what the Tea Party/right wingers say when they watch this?

The movie should be mandatory for all Americans never more than now. Too bad there are commercials.

[no_hypocrisy]

7. They probably cheer when Potter growls "They're not MY children . . . . "

"Go, Mr. Potter, go!"

[WillyT]

8. Pottersville Should Look Very Familiar By Now...

:shrug:

:kick: & Rec !!!

[Purveyor]

9. Oh thank you for posting this reminder. I did forget but thanks to you, it is now beaming in

beautiful B&W in our christmas decorated livingroom. Need to fetch another batch of wood for the fire and then we are going to 'nest' for the rest of the evening.

Merry Christmas to all!

10. My favorite movie. In my top ten it is always there.

Love it, and few movies compare.

[alphafemale]

11. I always cry. I'm a total sap for this movie.

And the original Miracle on 32nd street too.

Shit.

I even cry when the Grinch's heart grows.

As I said.

I'm a total sap.

[The Straight Story]

13. I watch it about 10 ten times a year easily

either on Movies found online or netflix.

can't get enough of it or Forrest Gump :)

[alphafemale]

17. "Buffalo Girl won'cha come out tonight...won'cha come out tonight."

[The Straight Story]

18. "ZuZu's petals!" (w/pic)

[alphafemale]

30. I had my daughter convinced for several years that I almost named her Zuzu.

love that movie. this world needs more George Baileys

[baldguy]

19. Trivia: The "Buffalo Gals" referenced

were the prostitutes advertising their services at the Western end of the Erie Canal.

[The Straight Story]

25. Your post is worthless without (B&W) pics

;)

[reformist2]

12. A dangerous movie: 3 hours of this can undo a whole year's worth of Fox News propaganda!

[MrMickeysMom]

[Raine]

29. THANKS for the link

:yourock: I LOVE the movie but hate how NBC fills it so full of commericials, ruining the whole flow.

[wellstone dem]

21. Bert and Ernie

the cab driver and the police officer, must have been the source of the sesame street names.

[TheKentuckian]

22. Thanks for the heads up, I needed a dose of this.

[madamesilverspurs]

23. Hankie is handy!

Popcorn is made. mmmmmmmmmmm.....

[redirish28]

24. My wife had it on DVD she's been looking for the movie all day can't seem to find it in our vast

collection.

[The Straight Story]

26. Check my earlier link in the thread to watch online for free (nt)

[redirish28]

27. Cool I'll tell her.

[reformist2]

28. I'm starting to think we're living in the alternate reality of Pottersville.

How do we get back to Bedford Falls?!

[lise]

33. This movie

is the perfect allegory for TBTF vs. small Community Banks.

Potter is the TBTF. Bailey is the Community Bank.

Congress has spent the past 3 years supporting Potter and his efforts to run George Bailey out of business so that Potter can OWN IT ALL.

Notice that in the past 3 years it is the Big Banks that Congress has saved, gradually shutting down hundreds upon hundreds of small banks.

Notice also what happens to the Community when the TBTF Potter owns it all.

Look familiar?

Forget about the anti-Corp propaganda that the MSM and their cronies (Move-On, etc.) are trying to fill your mind with.

The Corps are beholden to the Banks, just like you are. The TBTF Banks and Fed Reserve are the TOP of the corrupt heap.

Great Movie. Says it ALL.

Take care of the REAL Problem, first: the Big Banks. Then move to the second Problem: the Corps.

[laylah]

32. My FAVE Christmas movie.

"Forced" the fam to watch it each year, which gave them a lot of material for their shrinks! :rofl:

[Tom_Foolery]

34. It's a Wonderful Life is the first movie I ever bought on VHS almost 30 years ago...

And I still have it.

[andym]

35. Ironic that it's director, Frank Capra was a Republican who hated FDR

and big government taking on social issues.

[onager]

36. And had a gigantic ego.

There's a funny story about Capra bringing a movie review into the office one day and reading it aloud.

It went on and on about the movie having "Capra'a magic touch" etc.

The guy who actually wrote the script for the movie, Robert Riskin, sat and listened for a while.

Finally he walked over to Capra and said: "Here, Frank. Put your magic touch on THIS." And handed Capra a blank sheet of paper.

[Crystal Clarity]

37. Dick Cheney looks SO much like Mr. Potter

in this video of President Obama's Inaugural. Shocking similarity at about the .45 mark... :scared:
