In honor of the film’s 65th anniversary, the Los Angeles City Council declared Friday “It’s A Wonderful Life Day.”

Bailey, played by Jimmy Stewart, for the one or two people who still haven’t seen the classic Frank Capra film “It’s A Wonderful Life,” is a man driven to the brink of suicide when he comes to believe his life never really mattered.

“My father always said that ‘It’s A Wonderful Life’ was the best movie that he ever made,” Tom Capra said. “As a matter of fact, he said it was the best movie ever made.”

“It carried with it the message that you can find in each of my dad’s films. The message of hope,” Capra said. “Maybe like George Bailey, we should pause for a brief moment and examine our lives and see if we can make a difference as long as we never give up.”

It’s available in on DVD from Netflix and it airs again Saturday night on NBC.
