Special Mention: Naukri (1987) by Hrishikesh Mukherjee Make way for a peal of heartfelt laughter with these movies and look around yourself – it really is a wonderful life, y’all. To help you pick a movie like It’s a Wonderful Life, I have jotted down a listicle below that features films that broadly tick the categories of fantasy, romantic comedy, and holiday dramas, all focusing on the varying degrees of realizations that the protagonists undergo to appreciate their life better. Needless to say, if you are looking for a film to cheer you up and hug you on your bad days, this is the film you need to watch. The film spurred the production of adaptations, parodies, and remakes in the past 75 years, but only a few have been able to stand out from the crowd. The supernatural element in the film’s narrative and its good-natured humor continue to make It’s a Wonderful Life a go-to holiday favorite among most Americans. Experts have come to believe that the novella and this film go so hand and glove that either would cease to exist without the other. The film also works well as an original retelling of Charles Dicken’s popular novella, A Christmas Carol (1843). In a Forbes interview last year, Karolyn Grimes, who played Zuzu Bailey, said that the film is a gift to humanity, and I couldn’t agree more.
