George Bailey spends his entire life giving up his big dreams for the good of his town, Bedford Falls, as we see in flashback. But in the present, on Christmas Eve, he is broken and suicidal over the misplacing of an $8000 loan and the machinations of the evil millionaire, Mr. Potter. His guardian angel, Clarence, falls to Earth, literally, and shows him how his town, family, and friends would turn out if he had never been born. George meant so much to so many people; should he really throw it all away?

The value of a single life and the ripple effect of his existence into so many others No matter that they (at the time) referred to it as 'Capracorn', it has remained one of the most important, iconic representations of a 'good man's struggle and decent into despair. The realization that each person's life is dependent on another's... What is true wealth? Measured in the (number of) friends one has.

Easily the best Christmas movie ever made. This scene always gets me teary-eyed.
