Your top fav SCROOGE movies

[Mikey]

Mine would be--- in order

1. Scrooge (Finney---- Thank you very much)

2. Scrooge (with Alastair Sim)

3. A Christmas Carol (with Gene Lockhart as Bob Cratchit)

4. Mr MaGoo's Christmas Carol

5. Scrooged (Bill Murray)

[Dave Mc]

Scrooged is probably my favorite interpretation. Probably because I'm in the TV biz.

[mitchedwards]

The one with George G Scott as scrooge is my favorite
The one with Patrick Stewart as scrooge is my second

[huedell]

I like the IDEA in theory---ya know---the ghosts and whatever---

But the only one I can watch straight through is SCROOGED (Bill Murray)

Roger Ebert and others big in the movie/critic biz have derided SCROOGED for
having a protagonist who is rotten much of the movie and then makes an awkward,
rushed (i.e. unrealistic) change at the very end...altho' I can kinda see where
they are coming from, I still don't buy it---from almost the very START of the ghosts'
presence, Murray's character is having pangs of regret (at his childhood home in
the "past" segment).

Great movie Love it.

If I watch it with my family this Christmas I will certainly get choked up---
haven't seen it for a while.

My favourite Scrooge is Scrooged with Bill Murray also,the Scrooge Patrick Stewart is in,is not bad either.

[Earth 2 Chris]

Alastair Sim is tops for me.

Followed by Finney, Scott, Stewart, Magoo and Mickey.

Scrooged is a lot of fun, but I don't consider it a real adaptation of the material.

Hands down it's Alastair Sim...accept no substitutes! And it's gotta be the black and white version, not the re-colored one!

The one with Scrooge McDuck. Who better to play Scrooge than Scrooge?

[Mikey]

One I haven't seen since forever was the Rich Little one.

Anybody remember that ?

All I can remember--- I think

W.C. Fields was Scrooge
Richard Nixon was Jacob Marley
and
Johnny Carson was the nephew.

all played by Little--of course

An HBO staple for years! The VHS was very pricey (out of print) the last couple of years but I thought it was being released to DVD this year.???
Anyway I forgot about tracking down a copy (again!)...maybe next year.

Yes Yes and Yes! Scared me as a little kid. Love it!

I've always loved the musical "Scrooge" with Albert Finney. This time of year, the "I Hate People" song pops into my head alot at work
