What I hate is that Potter steals the $5,000 and doesn’t get caught. He nearly destroys Bailey, but he still gets away with the money. He should pay some sort of price.
FunFact- The actor who played Mr. Potter, Lionel Barrymore, did an annual reading of A Christmas Carol on a radio broadcast. He was originally set to portray Ebenezer Scrooge in the 1938 film version, but had to back out due to arthritis. He recommended to the producers to cast his friend Reginald Owen instead.

I’ve always hated the movie for glorifying how an ambitious young man gives up his promising future in favor of the folks next door.
(Now to see how many of the people who disagree won’t allow me my own opinion.)

Like Barney Stinson, Poncho thought Bruce Willis played the bad guy in ‘Die Hard’.

Actually there are Fox News commentators who have had the same reaction as Poncho.

That’s my Poncho. A good villain makes the hero better.

having an opinion is one thing. Making a comment just it elicit a reaction is another.
