The best is, of course, the 1951 version with Alistair Sim. It is actually called "Scrooge" and iy delves deeply into the darker sides of Dickens' classic tale. Heretical I know, but I actually prefer the colorized version (though using my black and white setting), the only colorized film I will ever tolerate. Somewhat lighter in approach is the 1938 MGM version, whiuch is not bad except in direct comparison with "Scrooge". And I always watch "Mickey's Christmas Carol", with its creative use of vintage Disney characters. Others, anyone?
