I prefer the Alistar Sim version but enjoy them all.

I love the brashness and select horror-like elements of Scott’s version. Are there any other versions that mimic that persay?

For me, the George C. Scott version IS the best and I watch it annually. But I also am partial to the Reginald Owen black and white version. Something about that version just lifts my spirits. The whole idea of Bob getting sacked by Scrooge on Christmas Eve and Bob basically saying "screw it, I'm celebrating Christmas anyway" and proceeding to blow his severance pay on stuff to make Christmas merry for his family just resonates with me. I love that version so much!

The Patrick Stewart version and Albert Finney's musical are both great. As is Alistair Sim's Scrooge. I don't think Sim's performance has been bettered.

They don't match Scott's version in the horror aspects, although Finney's has an amusingly outre moment with the final spirit.

Is the song racist against Muppets?

Can't see how the story can be about Marley.

I enjoy the Alistar Sim version.

But I also really enjoy the Bill Murray film "Scrooged".
