Favorite Cinema Moments: Part 14

Its a Wonderful Life!

So yeah, my number one movie. This screenshot is so haunting. His own mother doesn't know he is! This is what insanity looks like! Probably the most intense shot of the whole film! Well used. There are so many other scenes that I love, but sometimes you have to choose, so...

...okay, here are others shots I loved.

This film is so different. The film has very corky moments, this one, where the film freezes and the narrators talk, sets you up for the spontaneous interruptions during the rest of the film. Interesting way of telling a story, getting across exposition, and giving the audience a omniscient perspective, without taking you out of the story.

Notice the gloss folks? His rage and passion in this scene are really something. Jimmy Stewart's greatest romance scene.

A universal moment of despair. That feeling that you have no control over your life and begging for help to come.
