Movies to watch in the Christmas Holiday Season (that you won’t find on Netflix): 1) It's a Wonderful Life (1946) AKA: The classic one. Frank Capra’s Christmas fantasy drama about a disillusioned business man and overall good person (James Stewart) who has dedicated his life to helping others and decides to commit suicide on Christmas Eve, an action an angel ( Henry Travers ) tries to stop him from executing, is one that features prominently on Christmas movie lists. However, our (entirely empirical) surveys show very few people under the age of 40 have watched it. Now’s the time to spend 135 minutes of your time in this old Hollywood gem. Sure, it is long and old fashioned, but truth be told they don’t make them movies like this anymore. There is a charming leading couple; Donne Reed play’s James Stewart’s wife, a fantastic dance sequence , a solid plot and just the right amount of the metaphysical element. Watching it today is a fulfilling experience
