Today we have a milestone to commemorate: Jimmy Stewart would have been 110 today. The actor and icon whose genial presence in films like It’s a Wonderful Life, Harvey, The Philadelphia Story, and Rear Window (among many others) endeared himself to generations of film lovers remains a respected legend in Hollywood.
For this week’s Open Thread, we want you to tell us what your favorite film from Stewart is and why. Obviously there is no wrong answer here. We are just curious as to which of his many outstanding works has left the biggest impact upon your life. And by all means, take some time this week to watch one — or better still, several — of his fantastic movies.
