Alistair Sim, end of discussion. :)

Merry Christmas

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

I feel the same way. I’m watching it now. No idea how you can watch Alastair Sim and say, “hey we can improve on that”.

Agreed. George C. Scott is the perfect Scrooge.

I was going to chime in with Rich Little's Christmas Carol.

FYI he was a famous voice impersonator at the height of his career in 1978, for those too young to remember. He played EVERY part in the entire production, each with its own famous voice.

Unfortunately, all of the characters (voices) he did are long dead, as is he. It was better in 1978.

I LOVE The Muppets version, more lighthearted & Michael Caine is awesome! But, for the deeper version, George C Scott & for a darker version, the BBC Guy Pearce version is excellent!! It’s DARK & it really brings out the misery of the story. Plus Guy Pearce is just excellent & the rest of the cast ...true Brits..... Superb!!

You’ve seen one, you’ve (mostly) seen them all, which is Albert Finney (1970) stands out. Some great songs, including an Academy Award nominee.
