  1. It's a Wonderful Life (1946)
    "Harold Ramis set out to make Groundhog Day as 'the It's a Wonderful Life of our times' — the redemption arc, the descent into suicidal despair, and the final townsfolk-gather-in-gratitude ending all directly echo Capra. Ramis filtered Capra's sincerity through Bill Murray's cynicism but kept the underlying moral architecture." source
