It's a Wonderful Life

I just watched It's a Wonderful Life again. I watch it every year and never tire of it. It's such a nice movie. Does anyone else here like it? What I really like about it is that it's so positive. Especially if you know that Christmas is, sadly, a time when suicides are quite often. (or so I've heard)
I think Clarence puts it best:
"Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives. When he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?"
That is so true.
And besides, Lionel Barrymore as Mr. Potter makes a great villain. He's just so heartless you can't help but hate the jerk. I always love the scene where he offers George a job and he tells him:
" In thewhole vast configuration of things, I'd say you were nothing but a scurvy little spider. You... [to Potter's assistant] And that goes for you too! [to Potter's secretary] And it goes for you too!
I'll bet the secretary was thinking "What's his problem?"
