I see this video a couple of days ago and I pretty much agree with their picks. It’s a Wonderful Life! is such a great Frank Capra movie, and Jimmy Stewart plays a character that just jumps off the screen. George Bailey really deserves all the good things in the world, but for a long time he kept getting stuff he didn’t want. Thing is, he actually had a lot of good in his life—he just couldn’t see it.

It would be better to ask Anthony Hopkins or Jonathan Pryce :)

Would've been better if he'd thrown a curveball in there with Irreversible or something like that.

These have been his favourites for decades and he hasn't bothered to watch new ones
