A dear friend was contemplating suicide thinking that life had him so down he had no reason to live anymore. As a last resort I sent him this movie. He watched it and It saved his life. He called and thanked me for saving his life. I told him it was a gift from GOD and said thanks for my wings... Be sure to get your wings this year by helping someone in need. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.....
God bless your heart and God And yourself saved this life💯❤️ I know this was post 11 yrs ago..but it touch me now in 2023..my best friend..my brother suicide left us specially since Feb 13 2023..why he choseed that day?! b4 valentine's day?! Only he knew but all family knew he was struggling with very deep depression devasted..but I know he want me to be happy this new year and for his memory..I will !?cuz I know some day I'll meet him and all ppl I lost thru all my 62 yrs old life Again!🙏💯❤️😇
I first saw this back in 2004 and I was fine throughout the movie but when this part came and they started singing ALS I started crying like I had never cried before. I still can't watch this part in front of anyone. Happy Holidays!
This film is part of my Christmas movie marathon every year. And every time this part of the movie plays, I get a tear in my eye. I remember all the great actors that made this film so memorable, Jimmy Stewart (George Bailey), Donna Reed (Mary Bailey), Beulah Bondi (Ma Bailey), Thomas Mitchell (Uncle Billy Bailey), Todd Karns (Harry Bailey), Ward Bond (Bert the Cop), Lionel Barrymore (Old Man Potter), Frank Faylen (Ernie the Taxi Driver), H.B. Warner (Mr. Gower, Druggist) and of course, Henry Travers as Clarence Oddbody, Angel 2nd class. It's not just the Christmas season that makes this film, it is the wonderful direction and story presented by Director Frank Capra that makes this such a treat to watch over and over again!
+UnHealthyRiot they got the idea of a reverse Scrooge... the other great one... a Christmas Carol... this movie was born from the idea instead of seeing what your life was like and where it will go... what if you were never born in the first place.
This is by far the Best Movie/Christmas Movie I watched. I watch it every year because it truly has meaning. I saved a man's life this year for he was trying to commit suicide. After saving him, I tought of this movie. Its so inspiring and truly remarkable. God Bless All and Hope Everyone Has a Merry Christmas!!!! Albert- Milwaukee, WI
I had the privilege of being cast in the role of George Bailey for the stage version of this film. It changed my life. George is forever part of my soul. Thanks so much for posting.
I’ve always struggled with emotions and rarely cry over movies. About a week after Halloween, I called my fiancé for what I thought would be the last time before I killed myself. He managed to stop me and I got the help I needed, but I know just how close I was. I watched this movie for the first time since my attempt and I bawled like a baby. This movie is genuinely one of the most beautiful things in the world and I’m grateful for it.
+Nathan Bowie But we did it with class, maaaaan. We did it with class. But seriously, though unfortunate, the war did bring us together and proved that even in the worst of times, we could all band together and help a brother in need. The strength of the Human Spirit and all that jazz.
I just went through a brutal year and shed a tear watching this. Been to hell and back, but things are fortunately great now. Merry Christmas, everyone.
So sorry to read about your year. I too had the worst 2023 and almost died. Added this to my New Years Eve mega Playlist. Am actually counting down already grateful to be alive & THRIVE. This movie is most MAGNIFICENT. Here's to a better 2024 to you!🎉
Parents always watched this together when I was a kid, always wanted me to join them but I never would because it was black and white. Have been watching it for the past four Christmas’ now, and it has turned into my favorite Christmas tradition.
Crazy wat kinda gems we miss due to this fact, my brother said he used to watch it with my moms wen he was younger an I didn't for ur same reasoning, now it been my go to every year for the past couple holiday times
I have never seen my old man crying, but we watch this film every year the day before christmas eve and every time my dad cries his eyes out to this scene
They play this movie every year... and every year I am reminded of the importance of close friends, new and old. Thank you Jimmy Stewart for a memorable performance.
James Stewart's reaction to Harry's line is priceless... This is one movie I go back to every year, since I was a kid. I appreciated even more this Christmas
My mom liked this movie. When she passed on, it was 13 years ago. I always cry when I see this and hear the song that everyone is singing. When I watch it, I always think of her
Sure makes me cry especially now my dad is dying my best friend and I'll always love my dad because he taught me everything and to be a decent strong man and that he never gave up on me and I am sad I didn't have a great carrier and that's my thx where all the money in the world i would never trade and I always pray and wish for my dad that he makes it to heaven and I want to see Jesus and God loves him and belive in hearing a son's wish and hope he remembers how it was when his son died in the cross and everything so happy New year everyone for 2018
Juan Negrette I feel your struggle. I lost my grandma in 2015 and my great grandma in 2018. They were my world and my great grandma would always tell funny stories! This movie puts a smile with tears on my face and I hope your dad rests well to Juan!
@@therandomplushchannel4520 sorry to hear your loss stay strong brother all we can do but never easy it's been over 2 years and miss my DAD and now a uncle and best buddy got fn shot by a cop who leaves a cop alone in a house with my best buddy so I still going to find out the truth and if that fn cop shot him for bs reason he's in deep shit and now life is so so with this bitch caronavirus fear factor crap that's worse then the virus itself
Love this movie so very much! Back when Hollywood made wonderful films with love, beauty and brilliance. I always shed a tear at this exact part. I can't help it. It just happens. I can't stop it. God bless everyone!
This was a awesome movie and the song is great. When life hits you hard keep being the good person that you are. Never give up, one day you maybe the richest person in your town.
man i love this movie. the scene where george goes home after discovering the money is missing and this ending scene always leaves me wanting to shed a couple tears.
Got to see this in the cinema on December 20, 2017. Found out later on Wikipedia that it was 71 years to the day that it was released. One of the best of all time. Happy New Year, erhybody!
This part of the movie always brings tears to my eyes. "It's A Wonderful Life" is such a heartwarming movie, and it's my favorite Christmas Movie of all-time. My wife bought the dvd for me 5 years ago.
I always think of this as the moment that World War II really ended for America. That scene with the Liberty Bell that always ended Why We Fight seems so perfect for it, and especially since Frank Capra made this movie in addition to Why We Fight.
Nice song.... nice melody... great composition... ooit kenden en zongen alle leden van diverse jeugdbewegingen dit: "Hier staan tot afscheid weer de broers..."
When we first met, my now husband and I realized we had both grown up watching IAWL every Christmas Eve with our respective families. It is by far our favorite family tradition, and the film means so much to us both. Four years ago, he proposed outside the Music Box Theater in Chicago after our annual viewing of the film. This upcoming January will be our second wedding anniversary. We closed out our wedding reception by playing this exact clip and singing along with our loved ones to Auld Lange Syne. We will forever be grateful to Frank Capra, Jimmy Stewart, Donna Reed, and every other person who made this film possible for giving us something to cherish so dearly and help us appreciate how wonderful life really is. Thank you so much for posting this
I watch this wonderful movie every year I've seen it 100's of times & I still come back to it. It has the most happiest uplifting ending & so many movies of the 30's & 40's are classics because they deliver a message that endures thru the ages. Unlike modern movies & it's why I favor old movies just for that reason. They were better with higher standards than today. We spend too much time worrying about things that are not important. So $8000 went missing so what & it was Potter that stole it. I was in debt $32,000 in 2016 from bad investments & being careless with money. Everything was going against me & I was heading for a major financial train wreck. It was hell & I felt like George Bailey at the end of my rope.. I was that silly stupid old fool like Uncle Billy. But I survived it & I'm back on my feet debt free & slowly rebuilding & saving my money to get to a better place. There's always a light at the end of the tunnel. It's important to follow your heart & do your purpose & mission & what makes you happy.. But sometimes you get saddled with responsibilities you don't like. I been there too. Happy 2024 !!
Happy New Year! I love this movie. Donna Reed is from the town I live in, Denison, Iowa, and they're not shy about it. The water tower and all the street signs say "Denison - It's a Wonderful Life" on them! Along with several other Donna Reed themed things around town!
Good for you! I guess they just missed out on an amazing movie--one of the best ever. This movie never fails to bring a smile to my face and cheer to my heart. Can't wait to watch it on Christmas Eve (and any other time I feel like watching it!) Never feel alone with this stuff--there are still a handful of us classic film fans left out in the world!
agnostic man speaking, this song teleports me to a time where I would just sit in my armchair by the fireplace looking out the window while I drink hot cocoa as I watch the beautiful snow fall from the sky. The vibe of christmas and winter time emits from all directions even If I try to be unhappy I literally cannot during these times. regardless of what I believe christmas time is magical and that's a fact, easter time on the other hand does not make me feel the same way I do during christmas.
🇧🇷 Eu amo este filme! Um amigo gravou para mim! Todo ano, no Natal, o assisto! Choro de emoção. Deveria ser um dever para todos assisti-lo, pois cada um de nós tem a força do Amor em si. Linda canção: Auld Lang Syne. 💕🌟🙏🌟

this is the only movie that has ever made me cry with joy.
Me too!!
Same!!! My friend doesn’t understand crying from joy but I told her just watch this
"Remember no man is a failure who has friends."
i really needed that, thanks :3
this movie is good for all the people who the world is down on.
Reminds me of an Oscar Wilde quote. “Who, being loved, is poor?”
@@jizanthapus3099 Yeah..thanks you two...No i feel even more worthless :/
0:31
What does it mean? Please explain
0:32 Boy, we sure do new friends like Clarence.
I always cry at this part lol & I love this song ❤
well you can thank one man for this song the greatest poet and songwriter in Scottish history Robert burns

It's a good song in this happy ending from the 1946 epic Christmas movie it's a wonderful life.
Me too :(
I first saw this back in 2004 and I was fine throughout the movie but when this part came and they started singing ALS I started crying like I had never cried before. I still can't watch this part in front of anyone. Happy Holidays!
"To my big brother George...the richest man in town." ...I love this part!

Same
The movie is timeless, it was a classic long before I was born, and it will remain a classic long after I’m dead.
The greatest Christmas movie!!!
Agreed!
+Maggie Fisk I also agree!
+UnHealthyRiot they got the idea of a reverse Scrooge... the other great one... a Christmas Carol... this movie was born from the idea instead of seeing what your life was like and where it will go... what if you were never born in the first place.
+UnHealthyRiot - It's not just a great Christmas movie..It's also a great New Year's Eve movie and the ending proves it
arealmench agreed
This is by far the Best Movie/Christmas Movie I watched. I watch it every year because it truly has meaning. I saved a man's life this year for he was trying to commit suicide. After saving him, I tought of this movie. Its so inspiring and truly remarkable. God Bless All and Hope Everyone Has a Merry Christmas!!!! Albert- Milwaukee, WI
I know this response may be late, and I’m not even sure if you’ll get it. But god bless you, and thank you for that deed.
The best version of Auld Lang Syne and it's not even close
I had the privilege of being cast in the role of George Bailey for the stage version of this film. It changed my life. George is forever part of my soul.
Thanks so much for posting.
I’ve always struggled with emotions and rarely cry over movies. About a week after Halloween, I called my fiancé for what I thought would be the last time before I killed myself. He managed to stop me and I got the help I needed, but I know just how close I was. I watched this movie for the first time since my attempt and I bawled like a baby. This movie is genuinely one of the most beautiful things in the world and I’m grateful for it.
Praying God's healing and his peace and blessings for you in 2024.
I always cry like a babbling baby when I see the end of this movie. Such a classic!!😭😭😭😭
🎀🔔🎀🔔💟🌠🙏😥😇🎶🎶
Watched it last night. I cried tears of Joy.
Actors back then were pure class. People even dress nicer back then
+Robert Smith - because humans were better back then... but sadly over time humans have progressed to a shittier water down human.
arealmench Better back then? Just 4 years before we were all at war against one another.
+Nathan Bowie But we did it with class, maaaaan. We did it with class. But seriously, though unfortunate, the war did bring us together and proved that even in the worst of times, we could all band together and help a brother in need. The strength of the Human Spirit and all that jazz.
+Nathan Bowie No, we were at war with the Axis powers, not each other! NOW we are all at war with each other.
LadyClassical oh this aged nicely
Gets me every time. I get goosebumps listening to it.
Me too!
Same here
The sing with such joy and spirit. It really packs a punch.
@@kylev5602 the song nobody knows the words to...
I just went through a brutal year and shed a tear watching this. Been to hell and back, but things are fortunately great now. Merry Christmas, everyone.
🙏 love you friend
So sorry to read about your year. I too had the worst 2023 and almost died. Added this to my New Years Eve mega Playlist. Am actually counting down already grateful to be alive & THRIVE. This movie is most MAGNIFICENT. Here's to a better 2024 to you!🎉
@@writerwarriorqueen glad you're ok! Here's to a great year.
Why don't they make movies like these anymore?
They didn't even make movies like this then! This movie is one of a kind
Love Actually in 2003, it's kind of similar to this movie. Its legacy remains to be established.
The King of the Penguins it was actually a massive failure when it was released.
Socialization leads to organization. They don't want people to have ideals or love of their neighbor. The 1% wants us fighting each other not them.
Edwowdio gosh man the movies they make these days are so bad
Parents always watched this together when I was a kid, always wanted me to join them but I never would because it was black and white. Have been watching it for the past four Christmas’ now, and it has turned into my favorite Christmas tradition.
Crazy wat kinda gems we miss due to this fact, my brother said he used to watch it with my moms wen he was younger an I didn't for ur same reasoning, now it been my go to every year for the past couple holiday times
If this movie doesn't make you so grateful with life then I don't know what does.
A great ending to a great movie!
I have never seen my old man crying, but we watch this film every year the day before christmas eve and every time my dad cries his eyes out to this scene
They play this movie every year... and every year I am reminded of the importance of close friends, new and old. Thank you Jimmy Stewart for a memorable performance.
Miss this time in my life... life was so simple and good... Merry Christmas everybody
+Michael McNaughton Merry Christmas...and Happy New Year ;o)!!
I will probably not be online on those days, so Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Michael!
Merry Chirstmas sir
This is my favorite film of all time.
Was completely alone this new near's eve, but this still brings a sentimental tear or two to my face. What a wonderful movie.
Man I watched this for the first time today and nearly cried at the end, would’ve been the first time a movie made me emotional
James Stewart's reaction to Harry's line is priceless... This is one movie I go back to every year, since I was a kid. I appreciated even more this Christmas
"thatah boy clarence," ugh I cry every time. I love this movie so much, so many great memories attached to it!
“atta boy Clarence”… as in “that’s the way” Clarence as in keep at it…. just saying
We should all count our blessings for what God has given us, whether it be great or small....this movie always makes me cry!
My mom liked this movie. When she passed on, it was 13 years ago. I always cry when I see this and hear the song that everyone is singing. When I watch it, I always think of her

So sorry. My dad passed in 1982 and I still miss him.
God bless you. From the other side of earth
Love this movie so very much!
Back when Hollywood made wonderful films with love, beauty and brilliance.
I always shed a tear at this exact part. I can't help it. It just happens. I can't stop it.
God bless everyone!
Love this movie!!! Will forever be a classic! 😭😭😍❤️
Amber Banks I know it's a lovely movie but you could get on dvd if you like and you can watch it every Christmas.
Quite possibly my favourite film. It’s a beaut.
This makes me cry: god bless you everyone
This was a awesome movie and the song is great. When life hits you hard keep being the good person that you are. Never give up, one day you maybe the richest person in your town.
This scene always gets me crying
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!! You TOO Clarence!!!!🥰🥳✨🙌🏻❄🎄
My absolute FAVORITE Christmas movie!
Harry-"To my big brother, George; the richest man in town."
This is my FAVORITE movie Christmas or otherwise I love it so much
Superb ending to a superb film. Goosebumps every time.
Still to this day the greatest film ending of all time!
I watched this film for the first time a few months ago and it made me tear up during some of the scenes. This was definitely one of them...
I saw this movie for the first time today and it was a real masterpiece 👌
I will watch this movie again and again until I die ❤️
Darn, I still have a sentimental affection for this film!
One of the best films ever made :) Had me in tears and it has such a beautiful ending. I hope everyone has a Happy New Year :)
You can't stop them Bailey boys!
Such a happy ending. Love to see this in today's movies.
man i love this movie. the scene where george goes home after discovering the money is missing and this ending scene always leaves me wanting to shed a couple tears.
Happy 2023 friends!!
I wish I could see this movie for the first time again
Every time I see this I always tear up when the bell rings because we know Clarence succeeded in saving George.
One of very few movies I never get tired of. Jimmy Stewart in the role of his life (yes, this one is better than his Hitchcock movies)
No song touches me more than Robert Burns' AULD LANG SYNE...LONG TIME SINCE...
This movie, A River Runs Through It and Dying Young always brings out the water works in me. It is so beautiful!
Got to see this in the cinema on December 20, 2017. Found out later on Wikipedia that it was 71 years to the day that it was released. One of the best of all time. Happy New Year, erhybody!
O M G. Is this, or is it not, the absolute mother of all tear-jerking movies?
what a classic! watch it every xmas!
This part of the movie always brings tears to my eyes. "It's A Wonderful Life" is such a heartwarming movie, and it's my favorite Christmas Movie of all-time. My wife bought the dvd for me 5 years ago.
Everybody is so happy...why can't this world we live in always be like that.
My all time favorite movie 💜🙏🏼
IT'S LIKE A TEAR MACHINE !
MERRY 🎄 CHRISTMAS and
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2022 🥳
Merry Christmas!! 🎄 Happy New Year!! 🥂❤ 2022

My favorite movie; I watch it every year
My family and I watch this movie as we have every year since I was a teenager, maybe younger, and I love this scene. Heck, I sing along now!
Nice song.... nice melody... great composition... ooit kenden en zongen alle leden van diverse jeugdbewegingen dit: "Hier staan tot afscheid weer de broers..."
Unforgettable !!
The pan shot at 1.04. You care about EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER. That's the sign of a masterpiece.
Wonderful film! Can't believe I watched it only today!
I LOVE THIS MOVIE SO DARN MUCH!
When we first met, my now husband and I realized we had both grown up watching IAWL every Christmas Eve with our respective families. It is by far our favorite family tradition, and the film means so much to us both. Four years ago, he proposed outside the Music Box Theater in Chicago after our annual viewing of the film. This upcoming January will be our second wedding anniversary. We closed out our wedding reception by playing this exact clip and singing along with our loved ones to Auld Lange Syne.

Unlike modern movies & it's why I favor old movies just for that reason. They were better with higher standards than today.
We spend too much time worrying about things that are not important. So $8000 went missing so what & it was Potter that stole it. I was in debt $32,000 in 2016 from bad investments & being careless with money. Everything was going against me & I was heading for a major financial train wreck. It was hell & I felt like George Bailey at the end of my rope.. I was that silly stupid old fool like Uncle Billy. But I survived it & I'm back on my feet debt free & slowly rebuilding & saving my money to get to a better place. There's always a light at the end of the tunnel.
It's important to follow your heart & do your purpose & mission & what makes you happy.. But sometimes you get saddled with responsibilities you don't like. I been there too. Happy 2024 !!
Absolutely wonderful.
I cry every year when we watch this on Christmas Eve
Every time a bell rings an Angel gets its wings
Happy New Year! I love this movie. Donna Reed is from the town I live in, Denison, Iowa, and they're not shy about it. The water tower and all the street signs say "Denison - It's a Wonderful Life" on them! Along with several other Donna Reed themed things around town!

Heard the melody on some electronic bells this morning. Reminded me to watch this, start tearing up about 20 seconds in.
I dont know why but this song always brings tears to my eyes, I hope I dont ever hear it in public lol
favorite movie. it's sad to know this is the last scene, with everyone together. it is a special moment.
Happy New years!!!!!!!! 2024
🇧🇷 Eu amo este filme! Um amigo gravou para mim! Todo ano, no Natal, o assisto! Choro de emoção. Deveria ser um dever para todos assisti-lo, pois cada um de nós tem a força do Amor em si. Linda canção: Auld Lang Syne. 💕🌟🙏🌟
