I’m not so sure I agree, my wife’s from the Dominican Republic and doesn’t know the first thing about anything before 1990, and she’s able to follow the story completely fine. I don’t think I ever had to pause it and explain it, I just asked her if she gets everything about the bank and she does.

I want to clarify I’m not tying to insult your husband, but even with that I don’t think it detracts from the message at all

That fact that I never see “it’s a wonderful life” on lists anymore is so depressing to me.

To me, it encapsulates the spirit Christmas and the human condition.

It is THE quintessential Christmas movie.
