It's a Wonderful Life (1946)

If I would have to describe the movie in one sentence it would be "It's a wonderful movie". Frank Capra shows that a brilliant movie could be made using the very first principles and a ultra-simple storyline. Now this movie with a breathtaking climax has all the features of a great and legendary movie. The story starts with a simple and confused guy not knowing what to do in his life does everything that comes in his way and sticks to his small town without a hint of where he is going or what he is going to get. But all the things that he secretly wants in his life fall in place as if through some magic. This magic turns out to be a very rare kind of magic in the sense that you dont even know that it exists. This movie reflects this magic in the end.
