I still like "It's a Wonderful Life" but it is so full of Marxist anti-capitalism that it is hard for me to really enjoy it like I used to. The old rich villain vs. the poorly managed fiat loan company thing is to on the nose. I do love the rest of it though. Community support and seeing the impact one person can have on those around them. Get lessons for us all.
We were talking about this in the Saloon a week or so ago. I guess Capra got blacklisted. His sympathies are obvious. There was a time when I couldn't watch it, but I have mellowed.

Yeah, this same meme is pretty much in every movie now. The villain is always a capitalist.

And an evil landlord usually.
