NBC just ran the annual showing of It's A Wonderful Life. When I was younger PBS started showing this every Christmas. It helped make the movie the staple it has become. At the time the movie was in the public domain, so before long you started seeing it on every network at Christmas time. You couldn't escape this movie. Than somehow NBC got the rights to it. I'm not sure how you get the rights to something to was in the public domain, but they did. Or there is probably something about the whole situation that I'm not aware of.
That's all besides the point. I love this movie. I know a lot of people think this movie is too silly, too corny, too whatever...but they miss the point. It's supposed to be too whatever you think, it's supposed to be a great feel good movie. I can never make it to the end of this movie, even though I've seen it a million and one times, without having tears in my eyes.
I know, I know, I'm just a big old softy.
