It's a Wonderful Life. For me, this is the far richer, more nuanced movie of the two. :clap:

Casablanca is a better film.

I think Casablanca is structurally a better film, certainly more cinematic and flamboyant.

But, damn. The message at the core of IAWL, the performances, especially by Stewart. That ending always gets to me. A timeless classic.
