A Christmas Carol

Far and away the best verison of "A Christmas Carol"

The best interpretation of A Christmas Carol ever made. Sticks closest to the original work and still takes you through all the emotions. Manages to be funny and heartbreaking all at different times throughout. For a TV movie this is exceptionally well done. Watch it during the holidays, it is more than worth it.

I’ve been watching this version of the Christmas classic since the year it came out. It’s the absolute best interpretation out there. My husband and I are delighted to own it and not have to rely on finding it in the busy seasonal schedule.

This is my favorite for two reasons. The first is George C Scott's AMAZING performance as Scrooge. He really epitomizes the role in a way that I feel other actors have not. The supporting cast is also good, but let's face it, we're here for Scrooge. The second is nostalgia. I was in 6th grade, and the teacher was trying to show us this video. Sadly, my classmates were total brats, and misbehaved. Meanwhile, all I wanted to do was watch the movie. My teacher, who liked how well-behaved I was lent the video to my mom and I over the weekend so I could watch the rest. And I enjoyed it so much I watched it twice! Everytime I see this on cable, I sit down and watch, and now that I've found it on iTunes, I'm buying it. That way, I never have to be without this gem of a Christmas movie, and gem of a performance again!

I love this version of A Christmas Carol. Mr. George C. Scott is incredible in this role. A must buy.

the movie is a 5 star movie, but the fact that it's in a 4:3 aspect ratio is disappointing. this movie deserves a 16:9 aspect ratio.

Absolutely best movie version of “A Christmas Carol” that I have ever seen. Such wonderful acting!

The Best Christmas Carol of all time. Really I can watch it anytime of the year.

I thin this is one of the best movies ever

A once a year event at our house that predates me. George C Scott gives an excellent performance as does Edward Woodward and others. Since we started watching this version in the late eighties (it was released in '84) I can't go back and watch the Alastair Sim rendition.
