Mine favorite is the 1984 version with George C. Scott. In my opinion Scott plays the part od Scrooge as it should be by portraying him a straight hard cold man and not a cartoon charecter that many actors turn him into by over playing. Also I believe no over version has such a truely superb supporting cast with ever actor fitting their part as if they walked right out of Dickens novel.

The 1951 Black and White version of the Alastair Sim. I thought it was more realistic.

I thought the Alastair Sim version was considered best.

Im in the Captain Picard fan club.
I do like Patrick Stewart’s Scrooge, but I also have a place in my heart for Bill Murray’s scrooge

I still have a warm spot in my heart for the Aleister Sim version and I always loved the Albert Finney musical. The Mister Magoo one is also great but then again, I pretty much love them all and watch them every year at Christmas.

I love the 1951 black and white version with Alastair Sim. A close second is the one with Patton.

Mr Magoo. Because of Jim Baucus and the songs.
Of the human ones, the 1951 Alistair Sims one.

Fifteen posts and no one has mentioned “The Muppets Christmas Carol” with Michael Caine!
To: Kartographer
Agreed. George c Scott is perfect, and it holds up well over time the older one just seems, well, old. I can’t get into it like the 80s version

I don’t think I’ve seen any of the regular movies. But I do love the Mr. Magoo version. The songs are great, and it very much conveys the truth of the story. The ghost of Christmas yet-to-come is quite scary.
