Though it never won an Oscar and was initially considered a flop thanks to high production costs, mixed reviews, and low ticket sales, It's a Wonderful Life has become a classic of mid-century American cinema. Frank Capra's twist on Dickens' A Christmas Carol is the gold standard for heart-tugging holiday movies — for every corny scene, there's a hilarious or poignant moment (most, courtesy of the incomparable Jimmy Stewart). When the future Mr. and Mrs. George Bailey accidentally dance their way into the local high-school swimming pool, it gets you every time.
