I favorite portrayal of old Scrooge! Full Movie and FREE!

[Kartographer]

Merry Christmas, and God Bless us...everyone!

[DManA]

I LOVED G.C. Scott. One of those actors that you cannot take your eyes off of.

[tomkat]

Best version ever, imho.

ho ho ho

"Best version ever, imho."

There was a musical version with Albert Finney released by in the 1970s that I liked ever better. Both are very good however and highly recommended.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Edward Woodward as the Ghost of Christmas Present was another one of my favorites.

[Dr. Ursus]

We seem to be forgetting Alastair Sim.

[opus86]

The G.C. Scott version is my favorite. I also liked the Alistair Simm (?) version, and the newer animated version w/ Jim Carrey isn’t too bad.

A Christmas Carol (1984) with George C. Scott
Scott is one of my all time favorite actors.
But NO ONE was better as Scrooge than Alastair Sim ...

[Patriot Babe]

Yes for me he was the perfect Scrooge. I have the DVD, Alister’s acting made you believe he really was Scrooge in the 1951 version. A Classic

I like the part where George C. Scott slaps Bob Crachit for crying about Tiny Tim.

[massgopguy]

My favorite is Mr. Magoo’s A Christmas Carol!

In before “Scott is a libtard poopie head” is posted,

[Aevery_Freeman]

Amen! No one does redemption like he does.

It's not Christmas in my house until Tiny Tim says "God bless us, everyone".

[C19fan]

The best version. Great supporting cast of British character actors including as someone mentioned Ed Woodward plus David Warner, Susannah York, and Roger Rees.

Susannah York

oh.my

[Hebrews 11:6]

I like the part where George C. Scott slaps Bob Crachit for crying about Tiny Tim.

LOL--post o' the day!

[katana]

People who owed money to Scrooge dancing through the streets behind his coffin singing “Thank You Very Much!” was a definite highlight. And Albert Finney, like Robert Duvall, is watchable in everything he’s ever done.

[Wicket]

Sim is my favorite. When he realizes it’s Christmas Day and he’s still alive - wonderful. I particularly like his expression when he’s at Fred’s house and standing on his head . . .

[patriot08]

He was the best ever.

This is one of the few movies that I remember where David Warner plays a gentle, likeable person.
