Christmas movie quote of the day: It's a Wonderful Life

Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives. When he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?
- It's a Wonderful Life



I must confess, I've only seen this movie once, and I hated it. For me, the 5 minutes of happy at the end didn't quite erase the 2 previous hours of anger, disappointment, self-pity, and abuse. I felt the same way about The Pursuit of Happyness. A very good film -- well-acted and ultimately conveyed a great message -- but at the end I was so depressed that I wanted to go home and cry (not in a good way).

BUT, I respect that it is acknowledged as a classic and many other people LOVE it... and I like this quote.
