It's a wonderful life.

I'm watching it too. The kids are actually enjoying it at ages 7 and 3.

I actually like the colorized version, but it just started 5 minutes ago here....in B&W.

I'm watching it... well technically I'm not because I can't see because me being on teh computer prevents me from seeing the TV (the tree is in teh way).

I didn't know it was on tonight until I read this thread. I just turned it on. I haven't seen this movie yet this year. I have it on tape but haven't gotten around to watching it.

This is a great movie, one of my favorites.

When it comes to Christmas movies I love National Lampoons Christmas Vacation, A Christmas Story, Elf, and a bunch of others I can't remember at the moment.

The color makes it look too cartoonie. The B&W gives it a timeless feeling of craftsmanship. It adds to the texture of the film.

I was not too thrilled with Elf, I think because the character is a bit over the top for me.

Christmas Vacation and A Christmas Story are both excellent. I would add with all the classics like Rudolf, Frosty and The Grinch that Stole Christmas. The Santa Clause has to be one of the better modern stories.

What was the movie with Dudley Moore?

It's just not Christmas for me unless I watch "It's a Wonderful Life." It has to be the original black & white or I won't waste my time.

I have never seen it. I'm planning on watching tonight, it starts in about an hour. Don't know which version it is.

If it is on NBC it is the B&W version.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

That's It. Always wanted to see it, just never worked out. I like B&W so I'm sure I'll be a fan. AND, I can stay on BYC and watch the TV at the same time.
