It's a great movie but I don't watch it anymore. It's a tad boring for me. I'm more of "A Christmas Carol" kind of gal.

Giordano

'A christmas story' is a great one as well, also very funny......funny enough to further warm that cold heart of yours Cagefighter!

It's not really socialist. It is just an illustration that there is more capital than that which resides in money.

The return on investment can be wonderful when you know that.

Avoid the colorized version. It is an abomination.

Ironically, Giordano "A Christmas Story" always made the cut in my JW house... I read were someone else was talking about how there were some movies that were allowed mysterious and others that were not.

Kurtbethel, Unfortunately I was exposed to the Color version which I thought was OK enough. I was surprised by how much I related to the story. Feeling stuck in your hometown, drinking too much, having to struggle financially because you are the cut throat douce bag like Potter. It's just one of those movies that spoke to me because of where I am in life.

I think some people think helping anyone is socialist these days.

One of my all time favorite movies.

We never really know how much we truly matter in the lives of the people we know.

It is a rare gift to be able to see what their lives would be like without us.

Christmas carol is another great one for the Christmas season.

My kids loved ELF, LMAO !

I love that the cops names are Bert and Ernie! Jim Henson must have loved that movie too.

It's a wonderful movie! A feel good movie.

wha happened?

I didn't know it was such a big no no. Well enjoy

Well I guess we could watch Atlas Shrugged but it just wouldn't give me the same warm and fuzzies.

Here's to Fransisco d'Anconia, the richest man in Bedford Falls! No, really: he's worth billions.

Squeezing people for every penny you can get is a viable business model. It will likely make people dislike you and fear you, but you could get a high dollar return for operating that way.

Running business in a profitable manner, but trading off dollar profits for trust and goodwill is also a viable business model. You must turn a profit to be sustainable, but there is a large margin between staying profitable and profit maximizing.

Potter wanted every dollar possible to be in his control. George wanted to be viable, but he had vision, of people enjoying quality homes and having pride of ownership. He was willing to finance that, and get a money return on investment, as well as a community trust return on investment. Those two mens were in two very different worlds.

So....looking at myself, I love the big score, buying something really low and selling very high to the highest bidder. That can be really sweet. I also value it when someone does something or buys something or learns something from me and it makes a light go on and makes their life have a better quality than it would have had it they have never met me.

I understand George, and I am glad he got the chance to understand himself with some help frpm Clarence.
