In "It's A Wonderful Life," George Bailey is born in 1907 and therefore turns 65 in 1972, which is the year The Poseidon Adventure was released.

In my head, it's canon that when George retired from the Bailey Building & Loan, the grateful community of Bedford Falls all chipped in to send him and Donna Reed on the trip he'd always dreamed of – where they die on a doomed ship capsized by a freak tsunami.

This is how I'm starting to feel about America in general.
