It's a Wonderful Life - one of my top ten films and unusual for Capra in that the villan (Potter) does not get his comeuppance.

It’s our tradition to watch this every Christmas Eve with a take away

I mean, it's good, but it's no "Scrooged".

I disagree wise Brian. Potter's comeuppance was that he witnessed George Bailey not breaking. Just like our Temu Dictator, it's about the humiliation and cruelty.

Interesting point.

One of my favourites too. James Stewart one of the all-time greats. But every year I mutter why Potter hasn't been arrested for theft.

My bottom lip starts quivering everytime I see that film. What a classic. 😭👍

Absolute classic. Added affection for us as oddly, the BBC put it on in July 1986 when my lovely wife and I were on our honeymoon in Oban.

A perennial watch for me, and over the recent years I noticed the strong resemblance to US politics. Life under Grumpy Old Potter is poisoned by greed, selfishness, deceit, lies and misery. Just like the GOP.

the empty bitter misery of his continued existence is his comeuppance : I - empty,bitter,miserable - know

You know, I know of it, I've seen snippets of it. We've recorded it many times. We've never watched it! May have to change that.
