Remember, No Man is a Failure Who Has Friends
- Clarence (the Angel) "It's a Wonderful Life"
I spent the afternoon watching the colorized version of "It's a Wonderful Life" — It's one of my favorite Christmas movies, and I really like this quote from one of the characters in the movie's final scene.
My Highly Curated, Absolutely Essential, Will-Fight-You-Over-It Watch List: 😅
"White Christmas": Where Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye prove that a spontaneous musical number is the solution to any financial crisis.
"Christmas with the Kranks": A powerful cautionary tale about the dangers of trying to skip Christmas. It's basically a horror movie for suburban neighbors.
"A Christmas Story": The only film that can simultaneously make you want a BB gun and worry about freezing your tongue to a pole.
"Home Alone": A masterclass in booby-trapping, making me feel highly unprepared for a potential wet-bandit home invasion every year.
And of course, my all-time favorite, "Love Actually": The sprawling, confusing, emotionally manipulative movie that somehow convinced me that Hugh Grant dancing is the true spirit of Christmas.
