Best Version of A Christmas Carol?

[Growsomeballswoman]

Mine is the Patrick Stewart one, what's yours?

Ross Kemp! That's the name of the guy I forgot in my earlier post 😂 That version is so good. Thanks for letting us know it's on YouTube I'm going to rewatch it.

I agree with you OP, Patrick Stewart version is the definitive one, but the musical version with Kelsey Grammer comes a closer second. I'm off to dig out my old iPod to put the soundtrack on now!

Alistair Sim, black and white version. So creepy and atmospheric and great effects for the time

100% the Albert finney musical

1. Muppets
2. Disney
3. Patrick Stewart
4. Albert Finney
5. George C Scott
6. Scrooged - Bill Murray
7. Ross Kemp
8. Carey Mulligan
9. Kelsey Grammar

10. Guy Pearce (excellent but too dark for me)

I really enjoyed the jim carrey version

I'll be watching this one, this Christmas. I love Alastair Sim!

Yes to all the Muppets love. Watch that every year

I’m biased, as I have to vote for the only version I’ve ever seen, but it is Simon Callow so surely it must be an excellent version?

Alistair Sim for me. I do like the Ross Kemp one too.

Albert Finney
Puppets

But I'll watch and enjoy any of them. Also rather enjoyed the Miriam Margoyles documentary about it that was on tv last night.

The Muppets of course!

Scrooged is a close second.

Puppets?? Blasphemy! 😦

Muppets obviously and the Patrick Stewart version. I watch both every year.

Muppets is the absolute best.
Honourable mention to the Netflix animated Scrooge. The songs are brilliant (includes Thank you very much from the Albert Finley/Alec Guinness version) and voiced by Luke Evans.

Patrick Stewart’s my first choice also.
Check his version of The Canterville Ghost”, which we always watch over Christmas season too.

Spirited. Will Ferrell and Ryan Reynolds

I can’t recall any other version apart from the muppets. It’d be hard to beat. I tried watching it with my 3 year old but had to stop as I didn’t think that it’s actually a little scary in parts for young children.

He also did a really good version of Mobby Dick

Overall, the Patrick Stewart version, however the animated Jim Carrey version would be a close second.

Scrooge with Albert Finney.

Blackadder for sure

MUPPETS!!

Definitely muppets
