Re: 100 films: It\'s a Wonderful Life
We had a very, very long over-actors thread not too long ago. Nobody mentioned Jimmy S.
(Actually, we had to agree ahead of time that Pacino wins, and we were discussing second place.)

This was not played constantly where I grew up, and i didn't see it until I was in my 20's. [/ QUOTE ] i'm guessing you didn't grow up in the US then. to the people who dislike it: are you watching the tv broadcasts or the dvd? there's a big difference, i think, in how Capra builds his story that the tv edits take away.

No Wizard of Oz and It's a Wonderful Life every year. I saw it in the theater once, and on t.v. a few times, when I was in my 20's.

[/ QUOTE ] ah, guam and hawaii...makes sense i had a similar view of it as you, based largely on repeated tv viewings, but it really all came together when i saw it again on dvd. or maybe i was just in the right mood that day. but i really think the commercials ruin the experience.

Re: 100 films: It\'s a Wonderful Life
[ QUOTE ]
I found it cornball and about as depressingly unlikely as possible, a lot like a Cosby show episode where everyone is so extravagantly good-hearted that it's almost impossible to identify with anyone or their problems, and you know that those problems will be miraculously solved inside 22 minutes anyway. [/ QUOTE ] Was there really any reason to insult the Cosby Show here? You used to be one of my favorite posters, but now I am contemplating hitting the good old "ignore" button.

Re: 100 films: It\'s a Wonderful Life
The Cosby show sucked. Thank God Married with Children and The Simpsons came along to help flush all that smarmy gooey tripe out of our systems. What a relief when The Cosby Show finally got cancelled.

Maybe I like the Cosby Show so much because Cliff reminded me of my dad. Well, except my dad wasn't a doctor, barely spent anytime with me, beat my mom, and we lived in a trailer. But, other than that the similarities are uncanny. craig
