"His wealth is quite useless to him, really. He doesn't do any good with it or even make HIMSELF comfortable with it."Hundreds of film adaptations of Charles Dickens's 1843 novella A Christmas Carol have been produced over the decades in both live-action and animation, with many distinguished actors taking on the role of pop culture icon Ebenezer Scrooge.

This is probably my favorite version of 'A Christmas Carol' (besides 'Scrooged' but that's a different story). It has a great Scrooge (George C. Scott) and one of the better Ghost of Christmas Present depictions. If you're going to start somewhere with this story, start here.

When I rewatched it, I really enjoyed it!! I cannot believe how underrated this film really is! It isn't as popular as the 2009 version but it should be! This film is very different compared to the Robert Zemeckis adaptation a... read more

" HBO Now- 1hr. 41min. First Viewing Charles Dickens' classic has been done to death. From a storytelling standpoint, there's little that can be done to jazz it up. So, therefore, any adaptation is going to be judged, primarily, for it's soul. Sure, storytelling is a necessity, but any Carol is going to be judged by the emotion that it elicits; how much it makes the viewer feel. In this regard, 1984's A Christmas Carol is a mixed bag. While the film itself feels too rudimentary, too through-the-m"
