I've never understood the appeal of "It's A Wonderful Life". It seemed the most patronising load of twiffle to me. For instance - the idea that the wife would have been a Spinster Librarian, as if that's somehow a BAD THING to be.
And what passes for an idea of how economics works? Where exactly was the money coming from for all these houses to be built, then?
And so on...
Bah. Hum. Bug.

The subtext of It's a Wonderful Life is actually pretty depressing imo. It's basically about a guy who is trapped in his small-life in a small-town and never escapes.
Happy endings are just a device really so I think Capra was saying a lot more with that film than lots of people seem to think.

Its a Wonderful Life - Christmas eve mince pies at the GFT, only way to do it!
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation - Chevy Chase, Randy Quaid and Christmas, how could it fail? That's the sort of family Christmas I aspire to.
Nightmare Before Christmas is brilliant, but doesn't feel like a Christmas film to me - maybe because my kids insist on watching it all year round.

Yes and Jamie Lee Curtis gave me two lovely presents the first time I watched that film.
Seriously - yes it was, starts with Eddie Murphy begging in the snow, and towards the end it is New Year's Eve on the train.
MERRY NEW YEAR!

Isn't the animation in that really freaky though? It's a good illustration of the realism/ freakiness curve that Japanese robot designers have drawn up.Bad Santa. And Trading Places.
