For as long as I can remember, 1946s Its a Wonderful Life has been my favorite Christmas movie.
And its crowd-pleasing ending will leave your spirit soaring and your soul nourished.
The flick earned critical acclaim out of the gate.
After all, its not like Ijustsaw the movie for the first time either.
I was there on day one when it hit theaters.
With the ambiance Payne intended.
Like Its a Wonderful Life," the characters make The Holdovers phenomenal.
And Mary Lamb (Randolph) … well, shes hugely likable from the start.
Much like Its a Wonderful Life, it covers all the ground you could want in a Christmas movie.
Picking a firm favorite between Its a Wonderful Life and The Holdovers is tough.
Either way, Im confident Ill rewatch both movies every holiday season for years to come.
The HoldoversandIts a Wonderful Lifeare available to stream on Prime Video now.
