Comments on: The Ten Best TV & Film Versions of ‘A Christmas Carol’ (and the Five Worst…) http://www.moviezeal.com/the-ten-best-tv-film-versions-of-a-christmas-carol-and-the-five-worst/ The official podcast of MovieZeal.com, where film is always best discussed under the gentle influence of fine wine (as fine as $10 will get you). Each week Evan, Heather, and Luke pick a theme, discuss a theatrical release based on that theme, pop the cork and drink a wine that fits said theme, and finally subject one another to The Gauntlet, where forcing others to watch painful films nets you fabulous prizes. There is not anything else on the internets like it (literally).

And a teenaged June Lockhart plays one of the Cratchit girls, with Kathleen Lockhart (Gene's wife, June's mother) as Mrs. Cratchit. I can't believe this version wasn't even mentioned while some very forgettable versions were.

I watch both every year (and the old Muppets tape gets at least two or three plays per season). If you and your readers still can't get enough of Dicken's timeless story, you can listed to Patrick Stewart's one-person audio rendition of it in the car. God bless us, everyone. Luke,

And then the Alber Finney musical? Seriously? The songs are too corny to take even a little seriously. Scrooge singing "I hate people" is not only Showgirls/Rebecca Black bad, it also speaks to the core of what makes most Christmas Carol adaptations bad, they film makers don't get Scrooge. So how does one of the very few that really get that character right get dropped? How does this list miss Patrick Stewart's TNT production. The man does a decade of the book in a one man show and then brings it to film with the most real version of Scrooge ever. Oh and why is George C. Scott's performance off the list? This is a good 3rd or fourth place. I mean really, Mickey's and Bugs's over these. Gimmie a break. Oh, and while I am a big B. Murray fan.

I am shocked that the recent Disney/Zemeckis incarnation is on here as a top ten. Not only does it trade lose it's way in the sfx with the final spirit, it's uncanny valley in all the most human of characters makes it difficult to find any human emotion of your own. Cratchett makes one cringe as he tries to emote through a plasticine exterior. And none others fare better except Scrooge and the spriti of Christmases yet to come. Who work because they are already creepy. But when Scrooge recants and reforms, he too becomes creepy in the same non-emoting way. It's quite obvious this person has not seen the best or worst variations. I have to disagree with this list in a huge way.

The part was originally intended for Lionel Barrymore, who would have made a great Scrooge on film. He played the part for many years on the radio, but failing health kept him from making the 1938 film. The 1938 version with Reginald Owen is one of my favorites.

And the BEST version...without a doubt it is George C. Scott's. It was the most closest to the book and has the most and best content. How this survey did not have these 2 versions in it is amazing.

Saw George C scotts version yesterday..superb,great acting, scenes and the Cratchitt scenes at home were particulary poignant, I though Edward Woodward was really likeable as a character . Only real chritism is Scrooge appears far to fat and healthy to be believable ..perhaps. Watching hiself tuck into a bowl of gruel, after work early in the evening was bit unrealistic AListairs Simms version is slightly better. But have to admit a soft touch for The Blackadder version , lots of chuckles ..and complete nonsence. Have agreat christmas to you all Tim from Bristol HI , This IS my very first time on one of these “Forum” Thingys, so i’ll be interested to see if this appears !I regard myself as a bit of an officianado on this subject.

I believed him absolutely as the old mean miser and also as the giddy repentant born again man. Scott made an excellent mean Scrooge but was totally unbelievable as the changed one, he acted like the next day he'd turn back to the way he was. I also love Mr. Magoo's version, especially the song he sings as a boy left at the school. Totally agree that Alistair Sim was the Scrooge with the broadest range.

Alistar Sim absolutely top notch. He is the best Scrooge ever. I also agree with the blogs that name George C. Scott. He was fantastic and second only to Sim.

I was pretty sad that I couldn't include it. As for 'Magoo'...I just didn't get that one. Maybe if I had grown up with the cartoon...? It was the first Mr. Magoo cartoon I'd ever watched, and all that I noticed was that it was very silly and so low-budget that it made Jay Ward look like Walt Disney. :) Yes, that was my #11, and it was a very close call.

Well Luke, you did nail it with this marvelous presentation, and I have a similar passion for this immortal story, Dickens's most beloved. There is only ONE very important version missing here, and for me it might actually be #2 behind the choice you rightfully place at the top, the 1951 Alistair Sim version. It's the 1938 gem with Reginald Owen. Happy New Year’s to all the fine folks here at Movie Zeal!!

This was fun to read. Glad you got it done close to Christmas. I still have a soft spot for "Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol" myself. Thanks, Luke. This was fun to read.
