The Christmas Carol...
Regardless of the version and the actors, this to me is an all time favorite!

If nothing else, the transformation from Bah-Humbug to life hits home. A lesson to all!

I don't think there's a better Scrooge than George C. Scott! It's an annual view for us.

I like the Mr. Magoo version.


But I did watch the George C. Scott version last night.
