IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE (1946)

I’ve seen a lot of spoofs of IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE. Sorry to sound like the publicist of a fast food chain but, in a certain way, they’re better than the real thing. You see, they always start with GEORGE BAILEY (or the character who represents it) feeling bad about his life. The introduction should've lasted 10 or 15 minutes, not 90. By the time CLARENCE the angel appears to help GEORGE, it feels like a whole other movie... one that’s much more interesting than what has been shown before... and one that doesn't last long. That being said, it's one of those movies that get to you emotionally in a bunch of scenes, including an ending that makes you cry.
