OK Gang, What is, in your opinion, the finest version of Dickens' "A Christmas Carol"?

My family watched the version with George C. Scott on TV 20 years ago and fell in love with it. We eagerly watched for it each year on TV and finally bought a video of it when available.

Every year now, we all gather around for another showing, usually followed immediately by the Muppet version.

If you have not yet seen the 1984 Scott version, it is well worth getting -- I just found it available in VHS or DVD on Amazon by searching those categories with "Christmas Carol Scott". Enjoy!

I second that motion. It rings as the most authentic. I watched about 10 minutes of Kelsey Grammer. I'm not partial to musicals.
