Frank Capra

175pxposter_lady_336 It Happened One Night was the first Capra movie that I ever saw. I also remember it being one of the first classic films that my father introduced me to. From then on I've just been addicted. I really like Frank Capra's movies because they are funny realistic fairy tales. Last night I just watched Lady for One Day. Sappy at some points but the rest of the time hilarious. Lady for One Day was filmed in 1933 and was nominated five times. The following year Capra made It Happened One Night and finally won the five Academy Awards.
List of Capra movies:
Lady for One Day, It Happened One Night, Mr. Deeds goes to Town, Lost Horizon, You Can't Take it With You, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Arsenic and Old Lace, and the ever famous It's a Wonderful Life. Capra seemed to like to work with a team of the same actors so his movies are very ensemble like...
