There have been so many adaptations of this over the years of varying degrees of quality; anyone have a favorite? Mine is probably the 1984 made for TV film starring George C. Scott.
Honorable mention goes to 1970's musical adaptation Scrooge starring Albert Finney if for no other reason than the super-catchy "Thank You Very Much" number.
This one, by far. In fact, if I remember correctly, this was my indoctrination into the story itself. So anytime after this whenever I saw another version of the story, I'd be like hey, I know this story!! And I also would get mad if a Christmas season went by and it wasn't shown.

Nixon as Jacob Marley. 😊
sharethe 1951 version with Alistair Sim.
shareScrooge (1970) I saw this movie the first time when I was a little kid. I loved the songs but the ending when Scrooge goes to Hell scared the crap out of me. I watch this movie every Christmas season.
I can't wait to see the new version!!!!

1951 version is my favourite
non version...I am partial to Scrooged (1988)
Alastair Sim is the best and is starting to rival It’s a Wonderful Life as compulsory Xmas eve viewing for me. The George C. Scott version is also very good.
shareI'm not big on musicals but I really liked Scrooge (1970).
shareMr Magoo’s A Christmas Carol (1962)
I watch it a couple of times a year as Christmas gets closer.
