- It's A Wonderful Life (1946) A cinephile’s major dilemma between choosing Frank Capra’s best movies often comes down to It Happened One Night and It’s A Wonderful Life.
- It Happened One Night (1934) The first film to win the Big Five at the Oscars and a trailblazer in the rom-com genre, It Happened One Night definitely revolutionized the enemy-turned-lovers trope like never before.
- Mr. Smith Goes To Washington (1939) Frank Capra's most political movie tones down his comedic flair and allows the ever-charismatic James Stewart to deliver some memorable monologues while clashing against more conservative and idealistic seniors at the US Senate.
- Mr. Deeds Goes To Town (1936) Ranking among Gary Cooper’s best non-Western movies, Mr. Deeds Goes To Town features Frank Capra doing what he does best: crafting a moral fable with universal relevance.

- 'It Happened One Night' (1934) Though It's a Wonderful Life might be his most popular movie, It Happened One Night is perhaps his best overall, and certainly the one that got the most recognition from the Oscars.
- 'It's a Wonderful Life' (1946) It's a Wonderful Life is a Christmas movie classic, and one iconic film you'd be hard-pressed to find a critic of (it was even one of Akira Kurosawa's favorite movies).
- 'Arsenic and Old Lace' (1944) Arsenic and Old Lace is a fantastic blend of a screwball comedy and a crime movie, with a farcical plot that's a blast to watch unfold over a chaotic two hours.
- 'Mr. Smith Goes to Washington' (1939) Not to be mixed up with Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington is about the titular Mr. Smith going to Washington D.C., which is naturally entirely different.
