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.

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

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

1. ITON
2. Mr Smith Goes to Washington
3. It's a Wonderful Life
   I'll just list my top three, all his stuff is special.

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?!

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!
