I love all of Capra's films, but my favorite is probably "It's A Wonderful Life" (1946). It's just an amazing movie with a great message. I absolutely love it!

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington is my personal favorite. I really see myself in Clarissa Saunder's shoes. The acting was top-notch, especially Jean Arthur, arguably her best role.
Honorable Mentions
It's A Wonderful Life
You Can't Take it With You
Lost Horizon
Did he train you? Did he rehearse you? Did he tell you exactly what to do, what to say?!

"8. Arsenic and Old Lace yes, Capra could do screwball "
Capra practically INVENTED screwball with It Happened One Night.

It's a Wonderful Life is his best. But Mr Smith Goes to Washington is essential too.

These ones:
It's a Wonderful Life (1946)
Arsenic and Old Lace (1944)
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939)
You Can't Take It with You (1938) (honorable mention)
It Happened One Night (1934)
The Bitter Tea of General Yen (1933)

Meet John Doe
It's a wonderful life
Mr. Smith goes to Washington
Mr. Deeds goes to town
I really wish more people my age watched classic film, especialy Capra

Among those I've seen, the two best Capra films are (by far):
You Can't Take It with You (1938) 9Arsenic and Old Lace (1944) 9
Next come:
It's a Wonderful Life (1946) 8It Happened One Night (1934) 7Mr. Deeds Goes to Town (1936) 7Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939) 6
I also saw "Meet John Doe" a long time5b4 ago. I remember it as a good film, but didn't vote in IMDB back then. I should probably see it again.
Prog.

I love:
It's a Wonderful Life
Mr Smith Goes to Washington
It Happened one Night
Arsenic and Old Lace
Meet John Doe
But my favourite Capra film is Mr. Deeds Goes to Town.

Many have forgotten about the great underrated masterpieces "Lady For A Day" and especially "The Bitter Tea Of General Yen". Those are not his best or even my particular favorites, but they're definitley worth a look.

You Can't Take It With You
Arsenic and Old Lace
Mr. Smith Goes To Washington

It Happened one Night
It's a Wonderfil Life
Meet John Doe (underrated)
Arsenic and Old Lace
Mr Smith Goes to Washington
You Can't Take It With You

Ooooh I can't pick, he had so many good films!
But a film that I have a special affinity for is one where he only wrote the story. Westward the Women, was directed by William Wellman (brilliant, ballsy director of his day) and it starred my parent's favorite actress, Denise Darcel (I'm named after her). Add in that I share birthdates with Mr. Capra, and you'll see why I'm intrigued. It was a very feminist movie in it's day.

It's A Wonderful Life is definately the best of Capra I've seen followed by:
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington
Arsenic and Old Lace
You Can't Take it With You
Mr. Deeds
Lost Horizon
State of the Union

WellYCTIWY was a popular play before CAPRA gave it his golden touch. I saw the play on television before I saw the movie and was enchanted with both with a few things that the stage cannot conjure.
Edward Arnold is just one of the best actors ever.but then CAPRA always brought the best in him and every actor, no matter how few lines they had.
That makes a director GREAT.
Enrique Sanchez

I recently ran YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU for a nice crowd. It totally got them. It's definitely different than most of Capra's other pictures of the period because of the play structure. And the slow transformation of Edward Arnold is done brilliantly and realistically, as opposed to J. L. Higgins in BROADWAY BILL and RIDING HIGH.

1. Mr. Smith Goes to Washington

   I'm not really a big fan of You Can't Take it With You, though Lionel Barrymore gives a superb performance in it.

For me it is a tie between Mr. Smith and It's a Wonderful Life. However, I also like Arsenic and Old Lace. It is not even close to Mr. Smith and Wonderful Life as far as filmaking goes. I don't know, it's just a fun film that I like to watch.
