I've never seen this film all the way through. It's a bit after my time. When it came out, I was in bars, dating, staying out late, all those things a young man does, or did, at least, when I was that age.

I'm familiar with the pop culture references- "You'll shoot your eye out" and "Fra-gee-lee" but that's about it.

In total? Hell, I don't know? I've watched it twice so far. Last night after Thanksgiving dinner, and today in the middle of trying to finish the Christmas decorations (didn't get done, on the recovery list).


Love that movie, and have great memories of watching it with my mom, she loved it.

I was old enough to just remember seeing it in the theater and I don’t even want to count how many times I’ve seen it. When my grandmother was alive, we would do Christmas eve at her house and it would be on the entire time.

Never, as far as I can recollect. I'm more a "It's A Wonderful Life" and "Miracle on 34th Street" person.

Just got thru watching 1994 Miracle on 34th Street tonight (original is better) and watched the colorized version of It's a Wonderful Life on Thanksgiving!

I have no idea how many times I have watched it. A bunch. It's my 33 year old daughter's favorite Christmas movie.

I cannot count how many times I have seen it, and since it is on 24 hours straight at Christmas each year, and I leave it on over and over!!!

But I do think it is one of the "greatest" Christmas movies ever!

It is one of my all time favorites.

Remember when It's a Wonderful Life was in the public domain and it aired about 30 times in the last two months of each year? It was on all the time! Now, I think NBC or its parent company owns the rights to this film, and it might air once or twice a year now.

We probably watch it at least twice a year. In fact, we kicked-off our Christmas season yesterday by watching it and decorating our Christmas tree.



Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice - pull down your pants and slide on the ice.

Christmas Story is my wife favourite. We wore out the VHS tape a few years ago, then bought the DVD. We have to watch it 3 or 4 times every Christmas season. That one & White Christmas, with Bing Crosby. They never fail to put me to sleep.

My friend's family went to Disney the winter this hit HBO. They had HBO. I was in charge of feeding the fish.

The thermocouple went out on their furnace. The fish didn't make it. But I'll never forget watching this that week. I assume it was warm when I watched it, but I can't swear to it.

Luckily their pipes didn't freeze. I called their uncle. At some point it got fixed. I just remember the fish didn't make it.

Incidentally, while this was filmed in Cleaveland, our neighborhood (a few hours away) was a dead ringer for that one. I swear to God, change the damn cars, and it was ready for a stand in. Half of us kids were still adorned in those rubber boots with the metal buckles too.

I have seen this movie several times from end to end, and several dozen times in chunks.
