   • '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.
