really is a brilliant piece of art. i would go so far as to say it's underrated even though it's hyped every Christmas.
This trailer reminded why I don't go to theaters today. The trailers/previews of current films flash titles etc. on the screen so fast they can't be read and it's all about how fast they can get through it. There is no information to be gleaned about the movie or who is in it. This trailer plainly lets you know who are the stars as well as what's it about. Bring back the old ways of the old days and I guarantee movie attendance would increase.
Yeah but it doesn't have That Movie Guy voice.
Why don't you get real and mention 'It's a wonderful life' and 'Miracle on 34th Street'?
And despite "It's a Wonderful Life" remaining so popular here Mr Potter seems to be the character most admired this Christmas in Mississippi politics.
Actually, 9:22...My admiration goes to Donna Reed being so restrained and not jumping Jimmy Stewart's bones. It's all she could do to control her urges. She knew that was not a pistol in his pocket.
A great film indeed !
But the original Rudolph remains my classic Christmas show.
"A Charlie Brown Christmas" as well.
Damn, now my old self is thinking about when Capitol Street was decorated from the Old Capitol to the King Edward.
Hell, now I'm remembering the Whispering Pines neighborhood
Christmas decorations in South Jackson.
Northeast jackson memories as well . . . especial the yearly Christmas Village in the Alvis family yard.
8:18: Why don't you get real and actually read the damn post.
Music Copyrights in films keep a lot of older films & TV series Episodes from airing.
Great Movie..Unfortunately NBC leased it years ago. You either buy it or watch the Network commercials on the Cut version.
1999 - It’s a Wonderful Life aired on television last weekend—one of its only 1999 broadcasts. Just a few years ago, the movie seemed to be shown on a different channel almost every day throughout the Christmas season. What changed?
Republic Pictures, the original copyright owner & producer of Wonderful Life, neglected to renew the 1946 copyright in 1974. So, the film entered the public domain.
Republic regained control of the lucrative property in 1993 by flexing a new Supreme Court ruling that determined that the holder of a copyright to a story from which a movie was made had certain property rights over the movie itself. Since Republic still owned the copyrighted story behind It’s a Wonderful Life & had also purchased exclusive rights to the movie’s copyrighted MUSIC, it was able to essentially yank the movie out of the public domain:
In 1994, Republic signed a “long-term” deal granting NBC exclusive rights to broadcast the movie, and the network typically does so between one and three times a year.
In 1998 Republic’s parent company, Spelling Entertainment (a subsidiary of Viacom), sold the rights to Republic’s film library to Artisan Entertainment.
