My top favs:
- 1) A Christmas Carol (1984 w/ George C Scott)
- 2) Disney's A Christmas Carol (2009 animated w/Jim Carrey)
- 3) Muppet Christmas Carol (1992 w/ Michael Caine…I watched this as a kid, so great memories)

* didn't realize there were so many films!

** honorable mentions:
- Mickeys Christmas Carol (1983, my 3yo daughter loves this one)
- Scrooged (1983 w/ Bill Murray)

When I went to see it, the ticket stub abbreviated the title to A MUPPET CHRIST.

1. Scrooge with Albert Finney. A great musical! We watched it every year as kids and now it's harder to find.
2. Muppets.

The best version stars Alastair Sim: A Christmas Carol, 1951. Terrifying, dark, well-acted. Far superior to any of the others.

A Christmas Carol

Old Army is almost correct, the name of that version is "Scrooge", he is right that it's the best one by far. Alastair is the perfect Scrooge.

Muppets if for no other reason than it contains the best diss track in a children's production.

(Tie for first with You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch.)

It was released in England as "Scrooge," but was released in the US as "A Christmas Carol."

I grew up watching Mr Magoo's Christmas Carol. One of my favorites just for nostalgia.

I grew up with Scrooge, as well. My dad always loved that one, so we would watch it every Christmas.

You are correct. This is the best version.
The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But, it's still on the list.
