Twelve Films At Christmas: 7

At the rather smashing Electric Cinema to see (for the first time cinematically, the umpteenth time altogether) the masterpiece that is It's a Wonderful Life.

We sit in comfortable seats with plentiful legroom in the company of a chilled bottle of white and enjoy the unadulterated pleasure of a film that confirms the possibilities of cinema. It was door 24 on my first ever blogged advent calendar so I am repeating myself but if you have never seen this you really do have to make the effort. If it doesn't make you smile then you lack heart.

At the end of the screening the audience bursts into applause and heads out into the Decmeber chill with renewed optimism. 10/10.
