And I can already think of a few audio excerpts from the movie that didn't have music that could have been creatively reinterpreted for the montages. This may have inspired me to edit my own Bad Bailey trailer...maybe I'll call it Crazy George...or Mad Christmas. Thanks for the inspiration. I'm a big fan of It's a Wonderful Life, as well as reimagined trailers like the famous ones for Big and Office Space. The Bad Elf one is pretty fun too.

Do it! Post it as a video response. I'd love to see it.

Well done and original overall, but it could have been cut tighter, with the words given less time. If you can slowly read it out, then slow readers have had time enough to read it. In a perfect world, having the prayers from the beginning of the movie (sans original music) cut into the end of this faux trailer would have been terrific.

Thanks, good advice.

Very funny! You did a great job editing and matching scenes to music. Some people need to lighten up though, because this is a joke and it just so happens to be a very good one.

It's an interesting propaganda-like take on George's cynicism. It was Potter and family circumstances that drove him to it. But culling all these scenes together, it isn't lost on an average viewer that it was a pretty grim film if you remove some of the cute scenes with Ernie and Bert singing or the gym pool opening up. It is a about a man teetering on the edge because all his devotion to the underdog was for nothing and he felt abandoned. We all feel that sometimes and it's sad. Faith baby!

Why pick on such a flawless beautiful movie?

Is this what future film makers do in class?

No wonder the film industry stinks.

Pathetic.

This is my all time favorite movie, but this is the first time I've seen this clip. This is brilliant. I think the reason that so many of us love this movie is the fact that George is a real person who just like any of us could be driven to madness, suicide or quite possibly worse. I love the movie even more after seeing your version. Kudos!

You're a moron.

hay una segunda versión de esta película, no recuerdo si la protagonista es hija o nieta de George Bailey, ¿alguien sabe cómo se llama? la ví hace como 10 años, y cada año espero que la pasen en tv, pero no ha ocurrido.

Ojalá alguien me diga el nombre.

Gracias de antemano.

Hasta pronto.

This is one of my all time favorite films - It was strange watching this this recut (I'd never seen a recut ) but after watching this a few times . . . . It's very impressive. I think one must see the original to appreciate how clever you really are.
