    "Every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings." I adore "It's a Wonderful Life", even though it wasn't well received when it was originally released, it has become a staple of the holiday season.

    Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner. While the story is simple with an interracial couple at the center, the main message is that two people of different races can fall in love and find compatibility. It's even more significant that anti-miscegenation laws in the US were abolished after the movie’s release and the movie came out a month after MLK got assassinated.

    I’ve had depression for quite a while. One day I’m having a very bad episode my husband mentions “It’s A Wonderful Life” and gives me my own Clarence rundown. It was silly stuff like “Who’s going to make sure product x is always available for customer A?” “Who is going to make cookies this Christmas?” It did lighten the mood a little.

    The Wizard of Oz(1939) is one of my favorite Classic Movies of ALL-TIME. The movie is one of the inspirations to one of my favorite Classic Anime Series, Brynhildr in the Darkness(2014). Both The Wizard of Oz(1939) and Brynhildr in the Darkness(2014) are an ALL-TIME Classic. I ❤ them both dearly.

    High Noon was unforgettable for me as soon as I saw it, and I watch Miracle on 34th Street every Christmas. The scene where Kris Kringle could inexplicably speak Dutch to the girl in line gets to me like no other, and I swear the actress playing the girl's adopted mother was holding back real tears.

    I have watched The Wizard of Oz and It’s a Wonderful Life over 100 times each, closely followed by Miracle on 34th Street and To Kill a Mockingbird. A few years ago, I took my 85-year-old mother to see The Wizard of Oz at the theater. While waiting for the movie to start, she told me she’d never seen it. I was shocked until I realized she had used that time, while my 11 siblings and I were glued to the television, to get things done. ❤

    Gone With the Wind, like Citizen Kane, is more cynical than idealistic. When I think of an "inspirational" film, I think of one that presents one or more characters who embody the more positive, heroic side of human nature. GWTW doesn't have anybody like that. It's not meant to. It's a gorgeous-looking, well-acted film with a dark heart.

They ALWAYS give me hope & lift me up when I need it the most. In my long life I've been called sentimental, soft hearted & even "a cock-eyed optometrist". Yes, I wear my heart on my sleeve but I wouldn't have had it any other way.
