in honor of a truly amazing actor..

so in the last day, I've been at a serious loss as to what to write about.. but then I thought of a man - nay, not just a man, a great man. Jimmy Stewart. Now I know he's been widely recognized and is seen on national television nearly every Christmas in It's a Wonderful Life but I've decided to wax "eloquent" about him anyway.
I think my first exposure to Mr. Stewart was through It's a Wonderful Life. I'd never seen the entire movie until my senior year of high school. I'd seen bits of the beginning, and the end (from about the point where he tried to jump of the bridge) but never the entire thing. When I finally sat down and watched the entire thing I was absolutely astounded. The story spoke to me like nothing else had.
The second movie I had the pleasure of seeing was Harvey, a movie about a man with an "Imaginary" friend.. I really need to see that one again
The third and, the movie I've seen the most recently is Mr. Smith Goes to Washington... I'll let the clip do the talking... either that or look it up on IMDB.
I don't know exactly why I'm drawn to Jimmy Stewart's movies as much as I am. Perhaps it's because he seems to play the "nice guy" the guy who, despite what life throws at him, sticks to his guns and comes out on top. At least that's what I've seen from these three movies.
Anyway, that's my thoughts on that subject.. I'll leave you with Jim Carrey's impression of that great man.
