What is remarkable about this week’s film is how well it holds up over the years; it's one of those ageless movies, like "Casablanca" or “The Third Man," that improves with age. Some movies, even good ones, should only be seen once. When we know how they turn out, they've surrendered their mystery and appeal. Other movies can be viewed an indefinite number of times. Like great music, they improve with familiarity. Our holiday classic this week falls in the second category.

We encourage everyone to stay connected while staying home and practicing social distancing.  To help bring old friends together and to meet new ones, we have created iBUG Night at the Virtual Movies on Friday evenings.  The movies are the audio track (no video) with audio description. Please share with others.

WHEN:  Friday, December 11, 8:00 PM (Central Time).  You may join in starting at 7:30 PM for the pre-movie social time. Discussion will follow immediately after the movie.

Feature: It's a Wonderful Life (1946)
PG 2hr 10min, Drama, Family, Fantasy

Storyline:
George Bailey has spent his entire life giving of himself to the people of Bedford Falls. He has always longed to travel but never had the opportunity in order to prevent rich skinflint Mr. Potter from taking over the entire town. All that prevents him from doing so is George's modest building and loan company, which was founded by his generous father. But on Christmas Eve, George's Uncle Billy loses the business's $8,000 while intending to deposit it in the bank. Potter finds the misplaced money and hides it from Billy. When the bank examiner discovers the shortage later that night, George realizes that he will be held responsible and sent to jail and the company will collapse, finally allowing Potter to take over the town. Thinking of his wife, their young children, and others he loves will be better off with him dead, he contemplates suicide. But the prayers of his loved ones result in a gentle angel named Clarence coming to earth to help George, with the promise of earning his wings.
