Why watch?

“Not only one of the best Christmas films, but one of the best films of all time! James Stewart is brilliant, as always, and the story is incredibly heartwarming. I watch It's A Wonderful Life every year because Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without it.”

George Bailey (James Stewart) has spent his life supporting the community of Bedford Falls. Overwhelmed with professional and personal problems, he finds his previously happy life falling apart on Christmas Eve. Struggling to see a way out, George is visited by his guardian angel and shown what life would be like if he'd never been born.

Beautifully crafted and acted, It's a Wonderful Life is considered one of the most charming Christmas films of all time.

“Although peppered with colourful, sharply drawn characters, this is Stewart's movie, instantly loveable as a small town dreamer who sacrifices everything for others. His journey to despair and back warms the cockles like little else. Enjoy it in a cinema so you can sob among others.”

Ian Freer, Empire
