I had to ask Barry that same question :-)

George Bailey is the protagonist of Capra's "It's a wonderful life".

   http://us.imdb.com/Plot?0038650

Bailey attempts to kill himself, is saved by his guardian angel, and is 
shown how the town he lives in would be if he had in fact never been 
born. This demonstrates to him that he does indeed have a wonderful life.
