The version titled, “Scrooged.” Lul na pic related is my go to.
George C Scott and Muppets are the best ones.
I like the one with Alec Guinness. It's pretty spooky
Carol Kane fuckin’ stole the show, lol. Such a delightful lunatic.
Muppet Christmas Carol
The one you posted.
>kane was actually beating the shit out of bill murray in this scene

Nah. Scott is great but Bob Cratchet, Tiny Tim, Nephew Fred, everyone are better portrayed by muppets.
Also the songs tug at the ol' heart strings.
Scrooge (1970) with Alec Guinness and Albert Finney
There's no debate about it, it's the singing and dancing version.
Based.
Honorable mention should go to the 1999 Patrick Stewart one. Though I kept expecting him to say 'computer end program'.
This. The gold standard of Scrooge movies.
Are all of the iterations of this story spooky? The muppet scene with marley and marley scared the fuck out of me as a kid
This. The story lends itself to a musical so much that I can't watch versions without it, and I almost always hate musicals. The songs & acting are awesome w old world dreary charm.
Yeah, Muppet is my favourite but this one is great too
nobody remembers the 1979 Henry Winkler one.
>are all iterations of this ghost story spooky?
>he's not watching the 2004 musical with George Costanza and Frasier
Watching the Muppets Christmas Carol is my family tradition. Probably watched the movie like 15 times by now.
Is this the most re-used story in modern history? Be it the actual story, adaptations of it or just references
It's definitely up there. Dickens' novella was so perfect for what it was that you can adapt it to basically any genre (short special for an already established cartoon? sure. full length film? sure. musical? sure). Couple that with it being in the public domain and it almost single-handedly establishing our 20th and 21st century zeitgeist around and you see why it's so frequently retold.
George c scott
it probably is the most adapted story in the English language except maybe the stories from the bible.
Not the actual story but a take on the process of writing it. I thought it was a good and somewhat cheeky movie anyway.
This was my first and still my favourite version.
Great taste user. I make sure I watch this version every Christmas Eve. There's something perfect about all the Disney characters coming in and doing bit parts and cameos
I like Mr.Magoo. Though it's been years since I've seen it.
These two are probably the absolute peak.
Muppets
Is this even a question?
The finale to Star Trek TNG is broadly a version of it, anyway
>The Enterprise past, present and future
>Protagonist's character is fundamentally changed by the experience
>Heavily implied that the future we saw isn't the one that will come to pass now
>It all happens in one night (one moment in TNG)
Fun fact is this & the 1970 Finney version are the only ones showing Scrooge falling into their graves to hell.
For me, it's Alastair Sim
