It's A Wonderful Life (1946)

★★★★★

It's A Wonderful Life is a 1946 film directed by Frank Capra, starring James Stewart as George Bailey, Donna Reed as Mary, and Lionel Barrymore as mean old Mr. Potter.

With help from the angel, Clarence (Henry Travers), George has been given the chance to see how things would be if he had never been born, and furthermore discovering he really did have a wonderful life.

It's the feel-good motion picture. Leaving you with a heartfelt feeling that no one is insignificant, miracles can happen, and every time a bell rings an angel gets his wings. Why, it's full-blown Capraesque!

The Time of Their Lives (1946)

★★★★★

One of the better works of Bud Abbott and Lou Costello. Besides Little Giant, This is the only other film in which the two did not work together as a team. Instead, Costello is partnered up with Marjorie Reynolds; What I thought to be a great pairing as they do so compliment each other quite well. The film starts off at the time of the Revolutionary War. When a Terrible misunderstanding leaves characters Horatio Prim (Costello) and Melody Allen (Reynolds) mistaken for traitors and are spirit bound to that which is known in the film as Danbury acres. 166 years pass before the ghosts have hope of finding the proof needed that will clear their innocent names and free the spirits.
