What is the most glaring testament to George's integrity and humility is the fact that it never occurs to him to ask anyone in that town for a dime. He knows how hard they struggle just to get through the day. These are qualities handed down from his father, a moral fiber he would never compromise.
When his brother calls him the “the richest man in town”, I CRY. EVERY. TIME.
Yeah that's the part that gets me. Even in this compilation, that had me tearing up every time
It's great hearing that so many felt the same way as I did when Harry says "To my big brother George, the richest man in town!" One of the most touching ending scenes in movie history!😢😂
Me too
I make it up to then with a few tears, but then Harry raises his glass for that toast… full body sobs. 😭
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭👍
That's why the backstory is so long, you need to FEEL his disappointment and frustration as he grows.
I pretty much start crying onwards from "Every man on that transport died. Harry wasn't there to save them because you weren't there to save Harry." 😭
Frank Capra wanted to convey that your life is not yours alone, your life touches so many others, if you know it or not.
The original Go Fund Me.
😂
Nice! Kudos for the analogy.
That’s what occurred to me this year.
If you ever market that on a mug or a shirt - I'll be your first customer.
As someone I am sure that is older than most on here it absolutely brought tears to my eyes watching these young people watch this amazing movie! So beautiful to see the message of friends and family resonate so strongly still over so many decades! Thank you for posting this! You made an old woman smile today:)
I do not know your age (nor am I requesting that information), but I understand where you are coming from completely. I just discovered this video about ten minutes ago, and I have thoroughly enjoyed watching the reactions -- especially of those who are younger than I.
This movie literally saved my life, I always cry, the best movie ever.
I'd love to hear the story! ❤
@@vikingmama93 In 1982, I was on the verge of doing something very stupid. Before I had the chance though, this movie came on the TV. It was the first time I had seen it and it changed my life. This movie is the main reason I am here today to even write this. I watch it ever year and cry and thank God that he placed this movie before me to show me how wrong I was.
I can relate to that more than once. ❤️
@@mjkjelland13 I am glad you decided not to do that thing, and are here with us today. God bless.
I don't know about saving my life. Glad it helped you. Truly. But I can remember one Christmas Eve, strippers in the house, a pile of cocaine and high as a MFer.....and this movie came on. I watched it and man did it hit me.
10:40 It still surprises me when young people can't read perfect cursive writing.
As an old person I feel like I've been given a super power from 50 years ago.
I just write a note in cursive and it's like I've encrypted it from all eyes under 25 years old.
It's crazy reading cursive is now like reading Latin for the young.
I think it’s because George is from China, and has only learned how to read basic English
@@GorramT Fair enough, no reason he should bother with cursive at this point.
I'm not convinced many US schools abandoning teaching cursive was a good idea (I know some still teach it).
My little sister is 19 and she writes ONLY in cursive and beautifully, I might add. In grade school, her teachers asked her to stop, but the family encouraged her to continue. So, she coninues to his day.
I'm over 25 too, by the way, and the only thing I still write in cursive is my signature. 🤣
@@CaptainJess1994My grandson is 10 and has beautiful cursive writing.
"I've been saving this money for a divorce if ever I get a husband!"
My favorite line!
that's crazy 💀
Mary is just so beautiful. Jimmy Stewart was actually dealing with PTSD while filming this movie. He was a bomber pilot in Europe and saw some serious heavy combat.
General Stuart was a real life badass! He flew a lot of dangerous missions!
That's true about Jimmy Stewart dealing with PTSD.
He never went by Jimmy, but people loved him so much from his acting they felt he was like a close relative and called him Jimmy instead of James. I was stationed at Bolling AFB in Washington D.C and the base theatre was named after him. The James Stewart Theatre. Great movie. Great actor. If you haven’t seen it, you’ll love him in On Golden Pond, too.
@@jonathanking456 He wasn't in On Golden Pond. That was his buddy, Henry Fonda. They were good friends for years.
Mary Bailey is probably the greatest, most beautiful wife and mother ever put on film.
Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without crying thru It's a Wonderful Life!
You know it!
When I was a kid, I remember laughing at my mom for crying when George ran through the streets yelling, “MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!” Now I’m the one crying at the BEGINNING of the movie when you hear all the people praying for George. I’ve seen this movie easily a hundred times, probably more, and I cry every single time.
No movie in history makes me cry more than It's A Wonderful Life.
What the girl in the second clip said is so true. I don't cry watching most of the film but the ending breaks me every time. Even just seeing this one clip on its own without the build up of the rest of the movie before it still moves me to tears.
I know everyone always talks about how Mary came through by telling everyone about their situation but Old Man Gower gets credit too because he was the one who was able to reach Sam to get the 25k advancement.
That’s true.
This movie is almost 80 years old and it still breaks hearts. It's message about mental health and suicidal awareness has aged extremely well.
That's a sub theme. It's really about family, friends and neighbors helping each other.
@@catherinelw9365 That's true. But it unintentionally hit on a subject that wasn't really a topic or taken as seriously as it was in 1947. I praise it for that.
In its purest form this is truly about how a single life is valuable no matter what. That even if your biggest dreams don’t come true- your life is valuable and the people who love you and the people you love are everything.
How this wasn't a hit when it first came out is one of life's mysteries.
neither was the Wizard of Oz!
The world has hard time recognizing things from heaven.
Shawshank Redemption: Same goes for me :)
@@hihellothere100Shawshank released the same month as Forest Gump, Pulp Fiction, and Jurassic Park. Just unfortunate timing.
@@vinnypaolini9116 Jurassic Park came out in 1993
"I learned y'all's lives would suck without me" - George Bailey
Totes
I know most would think Sam Wainwright is their gang's "butt of all jokes" buddy with that hee-haw schtick. But he truly was the BEST FRIEND we all want in our lives: he knew Mary was meant for George so he stepped back like a man and still shook his hand, also got rejected by George with his offer to operate that Plastics job in Bedford (George turned down SO MUCH MONEY not accepting Sam's job offer, especially after the war!) ALL OF THAT...and he STILL came in to save George with that CLUTCH $25K! Just as Mary sensing what the problem was and banded the whole Bedford Falls together to help George Bailey. ON CHRISTMAS! That's UNITY and a PERFECT ENDING to any movie ever.
I always love how earlier in the film, as George is having his crisis, Potter says, basically, "that rabble you love will never help you now..." And then...the greatest upbeat movie ending in Hollywood history happened
Can never beat a good classic. One of my favorite movies to watch with the family during the Holidays :)
The movie gets me when George Bayley says "I want to live again!". No matter the consequences, the happiness of his friends is greater than his fear of prison. This movie is a masterpiece!
I still gets chills when they read the telegram from London from Sam “yeehaw” Wainwright and again when his WWII war hero brother toasts him!!
$25,000 in 1940's money mind you.... That was a truck load of money back then.
And then you have a better appreciation about the fact that $8000 "went missing". Over the years many devotees of this film have asked the question why nothing every seems to happen about Potter stealing the money. Frank Capra was asked about it long after the fact and I think he answered that it didn't serve the true focus of the story? The real story is about George and the goodness of the people of Bedford Falls. It's almost like Voldemort in HP... ending up in a hell of his own making in "King's Cross". He's not interested in the goodness of the people around him and is not capable of helping or sharing joys with others.
That's over $400 000 in 2024 money. The $8000 would be a little over $96 000. According to Google.
Imagine up to 25 years ago they were teaching how to write Telegrams in schools.
Such a wholesome and timeless movie.
As long as you have friends, the real one's who got your back any time, you're winning!
It's so humbling!
I❤This Movie & Reaction!😱😭🥹🤣🥰🖥💘
teaching how to write telegrams in schools??? in 1999?? you're dreaming
@@Marcel_Audubon why would I dream about that when I was there when it happened. It was more an exercise in English Language (A) class.
@@MaureenWalcott sure, granny, sure ... where did you acquire your top notch education? Mississippi? Arkansas? Alabama?
Ya, I watched that second girl's reaction and until this scene she basically mocked the movie. Having said that the first reaction, Just trust ash, was the most heart warming ones throughout. Just watching them react to it makes you choke up.
Absolutely. Ash and Hannah GUSHED for 10 minutes after it was over. They had the best movie reaction to any movie ever.
I'm nearly 54 years old and I cry like a baby every time.
Sixty-two and right there with you!
&4 and right there too.
Oops 74 not &4. Forgive me.
I've watched this movie a hundred times if I've watched it once and it chokes me up EVERY TIME.
I love how everyone is crying and emotional and touched, then the last pair sit very quietly and unmoved😂
Atta boy, Clarence!
I mean that's just how they are. They're not unmoved. They just don't cry easily.
@@Jeremy252 I think the word you're looking for is cynical.
@@mgtow316cynical is a completely different terminology with no resemblance in this situation whatsoever
@mgtow316 Not cynical, just less emotional. Mrs Movies has cried during some reactions. Her husband is a movie buff, so their channel is mostly rewatches for him.
@@Jeremy252 They looked bored and uninterested.
The girl in the 2nd reaction to the bell ringing was literally how I reacted when I first watched this as a kid.
Every part of this movie can hit you right in your heart. When Harry arrives with his wife...and Uncle Billy says, Nobody changes here. Man, if only right?
I love this movie and watch it Every Single Christmas and cry EVERY SINGLE TIME.
Perfect last shot of the ringing bell from Frank Capra production company.
It's hard to believe this movie was a flop when it was first released. Such an all-time classic that has an ending that gets me every time
Well, it first came out in the summer.
Well it's weird how people now sorta obsess about that..
That's the issue with basing somethings quality on general audiences or even awards.
So many amazing films fly under the radar while mind numbing nonsense makes billions at the box office.
The Oscar's give awards to movies by Hollywood politics/ideology that go completely forgotten by the next year while the snubbed movies have fanatical fandoms.
This will be hard to understand.
This movie had Catholic Under tones. at least half of the population was Protestant.
Saints talking and Angels getting wings were not looked at as something real or positive in Protestant Churches.
This was an era where people were focused on their religious belief system.
In Many parts of America Marrying outside your Denomination was frowned on.
Protestants were not going to go to this movie.WWII was over people wanted fun.
This movie had alot of life struggles, that way to many people experienced and wanted to forget.
Personally, I think it is one of the TOP 5 MOVIES ever.
My Dad explained all the details of that movie.
1. The Spanish Flu
2. Run on Bank
3. Crooked Bankers
4. Scrounging for money and fixing up homes
5. Owning a home was hard
6. People coming together when someone was hurt or injured in life.
7. How small towns fought hard to keep out Stripper Bars and sometimes Alcohol.
This movie was not only Great. IT WAS HISTORCALLY ACCURATE, when it came to small town America
@@johnhedtke7571 Director Frank Capra was Catholic.
There was also the OG reaction to the end of this movie on the TV show Cheers, where everyone there also cried.
Remember the " chance of a lifetime " scene ? Well , it wasn't about Sam's work proposition to George !
George's " chance of a lifetime " was always Mary . She was his Chance .
Just so you guys know, I've seen this movie at least 100 times and I tear up at this part every single time.
Same!
Me too
The bank run scene always gets me when the lady asks for $17.50.
Yes, Ellen Corby, aka Grandma Walton.
That response of hers was unknown by Jimmy Stewart. Frank Capra wanted it to be that way and instructed Ellen Corby to come up with some strange amount like that in order to catch Jimmy's true reaction, and it was absolutely one hundred percent brilliant!
@@traceyobrien8410 yup, I have the dual sided DVD with the special additions.
Watching people get emotional over a movie I’ve loved for almost 35 years makes ME so emotional. I gotta get a grip.
Forget that. I also tried and failed utterly!
@@traceyobrien8410Ah crap. I couldn’t just reply. I had to hit play.
From this movie we got the band "Zuzu's Petals." My teen years were the 70s, and for most of that cable tv didn't exist or was very limited, and there was no Internet. This classic and the Wizard of Oz played every year on TV, and many families would watch them together. Both had good messages - there's more to life than money, and don't mess with peoples' dogs.
a forgotten band, a well remembered movie
Frank Capra made some of the best movies, It's A Wonderful Life, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, It Happen One Night.
My husband has been deceased for 9 years after yrs of marriage. I couldn't watch this movie for years because it was one of 5 or favorites but the only one that made him cry.
Almost made it. I was dried eyed until Harry's amazing toast from Ernie. 🥂🔔
I cried when Alfalfa opened the pool on Donna Reed
Donna Dumped his sorry @#$ just like that.
Darla left him for Spanky. Word on the street was Spanky lived up to his name with the Ladies, and Darla was into that stuff.
He should have tried to hook up with Violet. She was down on her luck. She wanted any man with a pulse.
I love the pool scene! they genuinely seem oblivious to what's happening - hard to pull that off, such good acting
I hope you all make it a tradion to watch this every christmas. Love that movie and cry everytime
Some people think "Oh it's an old b&w movie, who cares?" Then they experience it ❤❤❤
nikkilu crying and getting mad at herself at the same time is priceless.
My favorite movie of all time. So beautiful.
When his wife does not recognise him and panics is the most chilling thing.
I think the scene where George’s own *mother* doesn’t recognize him is even more chilling.
If this doesn't make you cry, you have no soul.
One of the greatest film endings ever!! Thanks Clarence!!
Sadly an America we will never see again. These movies were magic.
This film is about giving, perfect film.
I started tearing up right at the very first reaction shown. This movie has been my most favorite of all time ever since I first discovered lo, those many years ago, when it was continually shown on all available channels on a 24/7 basis during the Christmas season. I literally drove my family up the wall because I would surf the channels looking for it and then start watching wherever it was and then go all the way through the way until the end. Then, I would repeat the process all over again. I have the entire dialogue completely memorized from start to finish.
I thought I was the only one to do that. I don't anymore now that I have it on VHS and DVD.
The first couple was special. They seem like very good people.
This is how it was growing up in my time. So pitiful that it is barely visible nowadays. Everybody helped everybody. A man's word meant something then. I truly miss those days.
Not sure which of the OctoKrool channel brothers is the older but I imagine when Harry was toasting George that hit pretty hard. Good stuff!
I believe they are twins.
I love this movie. The ending will give you diabetes, and it's perfect.
Oh lordy, THIS MOVIE!! This scene leaves me in tears every time. And, the scene where young George stops a grief-stricken Mr. Gower from mistakenly putting poison in those pills - that WRECKS me. This movie and "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" invite us to set aside the cynicism and pettiness that we're taught by life and embrace love, unselfishness, and humanity. So glad to see a new audience enjoying it!
Ever check out SNL's skit with the lost ending of "It's A Wonderful Life"? Classic!
It's tradition to watch that as soon as the movies over!
Every year, every time.
Best movie of all time.
That boy George.
When Harry says To my brother George, the richest man in town I lose it.
13:14 LOL
Zuzu is 83 now and still has that watch
and Janie never learned to play piano any better than that
Got to ask does anyone know if the novel of Tom Sawyer with Clarence’s inscription still exist? It would be worth a pretty penny today.
I appreciate your videos. I recently really got into reaction channels so these compilations are great.
Just shows, no matter how you feel, you're never alone.
“ No man is a failure who has friends “ real friends who should be there when you are up or down !
My church did a musical version of “It’s a Wonderful Life” And at the end we we have Clarence his wings! At the end while the rest of the cast is singing Christmas carols we make it snow on the stage by using soap suds in these snow machines and as it’s snowing and we’re singing a spotlight appears on top of the Bailey Building and Loan prop we used and the guy playing Clarence steps into the spotlight while joining in the caroling and the audience sees these absolutely beautiful giant white angels wings on his back and let me tell on all three nights of shows we did, that part of the show the audience was on their feet cheering and clapping so loudly with tears in their eyes and we got a standing ovation every night and every night we had so many people come up to us afterwards and asked to be saved and asked how to know Jesus. It truly was so powerful
to be honest, a musical version of this sounds awful ... especially if one of your fellow parishioners wrote the music
Very few people know that Mary was the originator of the GO FUND ME ACCOUNT.
The movie is about George and all the people he helped but damn if Mary isn't the MVP (Most Valuable Partner). It was Mary who put up the $2000 honeymoon fund so they could keep the Building and Loan open at the worst part of the Great Depression and it was Mary's connections (especially with Sam) that made it possible for this final scene to happen. We all should be so lucky as to have a spouse that strong and supportive!
In this Movie, Donna Reed is one of the most Pretty /Beautiful women on screen.
I'm not talking Hot,Sexy,Seductive,Eye Popping.
She was just heart melting wonderful!
It's A Wonderful Life is not only the greatest Christmas movie ever made, it's also the greatest Christian movie this side of The Passion. This ending is what Jesus wants for all of us. This is heaven on Earth
Yeah if u don’t cry watching this end scene, I’m so sorry for you.
He and Mary can go travel the world once the kids are grown. People forget that. So he can fulfill his dreams eventually.
His father died still working there. That's what he's afraid will happen to him.
I remember our teacher showed us this movie in class and I looked over at my friend(who was captain of the football team) and he was hiding his face crying.
I don't know where to recommend stuff to you guys, but I'd love to see a reaction-compilation for *that death* in Serenity. The shock and tears when it happens and at the memorial is so impactful.
I call it A Leaf on the Wind scene.
Perfect!! It's so important not to have a headline that doesn't spoil it for ppl who haven't seen it. I've actually watched tons of reactions for that scene because it's such an interesting directoral choice - everyone laughs at the beginning of the phrase and then they're in shock...just an outstanding scene.
@@CarlosRamirez-wb7zu
Wow, way to end that on the most stoic, emotionless reaction I've ever seen.
Can you imagine how Uncle Billy must have felt, believing he was the one everyone else blamed? I would have been complete devastated because I, too, have experienced feeling like that. Yet, at the end, I also see an expression in his eyes that shows relief and forgiveness for himself.
As heartwarming and tender this scene is, my favorite part is Annie talking about why she's been saving the money. Always cracks me up 🤣🤣
Always watch the last hour of the movie. One time in the mid 80’s I saw a little bit of the first hour and fell asleep. The last hour is the best.
Sam was a good friend. $25K in 1945 is the equivalent of around $430,000 in 2024
Oh my goodness! I cried each time a new review started. This movie gets me every time.
One of your best reaction mash ups. 👍👍
Loved your reactions folks !!!XX
If I see someone that doesn't cry at the end of this movie, I feel in my opinion there might be something off with them?
Great use of a phrase from that era. My parents would descibe people as "off".
It desribes things so perfectly!
,,,,,,to my Big brother George,,,the richest man in town. Gets me EVERY TIME!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭👍
10:54 lol my mans was flabbergasted
Fun fact: Burt and Ernie from Sesame Street are named after Bert the cop and Ernie the cab driver from this film.
Movies like this are true classics!
Pro tip, never watch a crying movie lying down. It will only make you cry harder.
Who's peeling onions in here?
I'm not crying! You're crying!
I recognize the second reactor from her Rogue One Ending reaction😂😂
This is my all time favorite movie. I loved all the reactions!!❤
Paramount Studios has a modern remake in production of " It's A Wonderful Life". Why can't TPTB leave classic movies like this alone and stop with the remakes?
Beautiful reactions.
Greatest MOVIE OF ALL TIME
Greatest. Most. Perfect. Movie. EVER.
Best. Movie. EVER.
When Clarence explained to George that his brother Harry died at age 9 when he broke through the ice, George loses it completely. “That’s a Lie! Harry Bailey went to war! He got the Congressional Medal of Honor! He saved the life of every man on that ship!” Clarence says “No George, every man on that ship died! Harry wasn’t there to save them, because you weren’t there to save Harry!”. Then later Harry flies through a snowstorm to be with George and toast his big brother.
Let’s not forget Sam Wainwright. I always thought of him as kind of a shallow wise guy, but he really came through for George. That killed me…
Second clip: I didn’t think I was gonna cry!!!
Me: everybody cries. Everybody.
Nikki when the bell rang had me cheesin so hard
