Andrew Garfield has named Frank Capra's 1946 classic *It's A Wonderful Life* as the film he lives his life by, describing it as the story that teaches him "how to live." The actor, known for roles ranging from Spider-Man to *The Social Network*, watches the film every year without fail, drawing on its message about the impact ordinary people have on those around them.

The film stars James Stewart as George Bailey, a suicidal man shown by his guardian angel, Clarence Odbody, what the world would look like had he never existed, revealing how his small acts of kindness had far-reaching, life-saving consequences. Despite receiving five Academy Award nominations, it lost out to William Wyler's *The Best Years of Our Lives* in nearly every category, yet has since become an enduring Hollywood classic. Speaking to the Los Angeles Times, Garfield said the film's central question, "That's what I want to know. I want to know how to live," resonates with him deeply.
