one is the 1951 Alistair Sim film which is a classic. Then, the previously mentioned Albert Finney version. Finney played the part of the elderly miser when he was in his mid-30's!!!! IMO Finney is one of the greatest working actors today and FAR over-looked when it comes to recognition...That musical version was directed by Ronald Neame who gave us some great films... The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, The Chalk Garden and one of my favorite Judy Garland films...I Could Go On Singing. Finally the 1984 TV version with George C. Scott who also does a great job in the role...The 1984 film was directed by Clive Donner who coincidentally was the editor on the 1951 Sim film. He also directed my favorite version of The Scarlet Pimpernel for TV with the ever beautiful Jane Seymour and Anthony Andrews as The Pimpernel with a great villian played by Ian McKellan.
