I've watched movie hundreds of times and I love all of it. The message is clear. Most people don't appreciate what they have until its lost.
George Bailey was no exception, he wanted so badly to leave Bedford Falls and go live his life, away from his small town. Instead he remains and helps keep the town alive and out of the hands of the evil Mr. Potter.
The only thing that made me cringe was the age of James Stewart at the time of the filming, he was 38 yrs old! And here he is playing a 22 yr old big brother to his 18 yr old brother, Harry Bailey, who was actually 25 at the time. My pet-peeve.
Its more than a mere Christmas movie, it brings to light all of the things we take for granted everyday! No movie is more important to me than this film; a story about a man who had a wonderful life, but couldn't see it.
So many people strive for more; more bigger, more excitement, more money, more prestige and they miss out on the things right in front of them.
