"A Christmas Carol" (1984) with George C. Scott as Ebenezer Scrooge

I like it.

Alistair Sim owns this genre.

I like Sim's performance too, r2, but I prefer Scott's restraint.

I preferred his restraints too but you can't have sex all day.

Hands down. Albert Finney’s performance.

It's no "A Carol Christmas" with Tori Spelling.

The 1984 film has gorgeous set direction and location.

George C. Scott, Roger Rees(Fred), Susannah York( Mrs. Cratchit) all are dead.

I grew up on Albert Finney’s version. Love it.

Albert Finney's version is the musical, right?

Yes indeed R9.

This is my favorite scene.

Turn in your gay cards, bitches.

r10, I remember, as a kid, seeing "Scrooge"on the big screen.

I wanted to yell at the screen, "No. You forgot Tiny Tim!" when Scrooge is delivering toys to the Cratchits and turns to leave before he remembers he to give Tim his toy.

Alastair Sim is the ultimate Scrooge. No one else comes anywhere close.

Mickey's Christmas Carol

"A Diva's Christmas Carol," starring Vanessa Williams

Another vote for the George C. Scott version being the best one.

LOVE Vanessa Williams

George C. Scott.

I've repeatedly watched the 1984 version. Its screenplay is superb.

For instance, during the scene with the Ghost of Christmas Past where Ebenezer, as child, is alone at school Ghost comments how he "alone" without a "real friend".

Aged Ebenezer replies "He has his friends." and then names characters from Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves.

That's taken from the book and it never fails to give me a lump in my throat.

Mr. Magoo was the best Scrooge.

No contest - Alistair Sims.

There's a version with Patrick Stewart that is pretty good

Sim is a little hammy but very much in the 50's style of Brit acting.

Scott's performance ages better.

Another for George C. Scott, here. But I enjoy seceral others, his is just my favorite. It was the first version I watched as a kid, and that is most likely the reason.

George C Scott's actually. Stellar.

Albert Finney, and the entire production of "Scrooge" is, by far, the most entertaining to me.
