REVIEWS:

"What is remarkable about 'It's a Wonderful Life' is how well it holds up over the years; it's one of those ageless movies...that improves with age. Some movies, even good ones, should only be seen once. When we know how they turn out, they've surrendered their mystery and appeal. Other movies can be viewed an indefinite number of times. Like great music, they improve with familiarity.
'It's a Wonderful Life' falls in the second category."

-- Roger Ebert; 1999
