what version of Christmas Carol is best??!?!?

i know it is early but i figure that since i don't celebrate Halloween i can jump in to my fav movie " A Christmas Carol"

but there are so many versions out there what is your fav out there? where are some unusual ones that you have seen//

i like the musical withe Albert Finney called "scrooge"

i am also love the one with Alistair Simms "A Christmas Carol"

i think the version done in Highway to heaven was cute!!! anyone remember the one done in family ties!!!?!?

i do own many versions of it and i will prob do a marathon of watching near Christmas.. and i figure i better ask now cause there are so many out there!!!

Alistair Simms' version is the best, simply because Alistair Simms' acting with the epiphany is amazing.

i tend to agree actors back then didnt have the special affects to keep an audience interested so they had to base a movie on the actors ability to keep the audience's attention

the disney version

yes very good one done speicaly for those that like to see it but dont want to spend a long time watching good for the whole family too... i actually have it on vhs ( for those younger ones google vhs if you dont remember it )

you ever seen the Rich little version of it?

Exactly, no other version comes near the Alastair Sim's version (Scrooge 1951)!

There is a newer version with Patrick Stewart which I really like! And the musical with Kelsey Grammer is fun. But you're all right, Alistair Simms is best!

patrick stewart made a very interesting scrooge
now the kelsey grammar musical was ok but the scrooge one for me was more entertaining

It's not the traditional version of A Christmas Carol, but I like the one with Bill Murray. That one is classic.

i havent seen that one in a long time and i have heard it is a really good movie ..** puts that on his Christmas video want list**

Yeah, usually I watch it every year along with a bunch of others during the holiday... it's really funny.

Any done in B/W. It helps to set the mood.

true the colourize version is always kinda scarey in the colours i have a couple one with sir seymour hicks in it

Just thinking, the fog, industrial soot, black coats, ghostiness and carriages always go better in black and white.

maybe we should make new movies in black in white !?!?

The Mr. Magoo one is pretty good,
but "Scrooge" with Alistair Sim is my favorite.

The Jim Carrey animated version was surprisingly very good I thought.

I believe you, but I refuse to watch anything with him in it ever
again since he opened his freakishly big mouth about gun control.

As a kid I liked the old black and white Christmas Carols, The Mr. Magoo version and the newer one with Jim Carrey.
I have watched a lot of other versions. Too many to remember them all.

The Muppets Christmas Carol is very good. I also really enjoyed (most of) the Jim Carrey version. It did have some extraneous adventure moments but otherwise, it was surprisingly faithful to Dicken's book.
