What is your favorite A Christmas Carol - or - Scrooge movie? [View all]

Mine is the 1970 musical version Scrooge with Albert Finney. No others match up for me. The greed is still applicable today. But we need more scrooges waking up.

Plan to watch it tonight with maybe some Chinese food & a Baileys on the rocks.

Merry Christmas Eve Duers!
