[Archae]

The one with Patrick Stewart as Scrooge.

9. absolutely

no doubt about it


second best; Scrooge McDuck

2. I like that one...

but when he calls the servant "My Dear." and "My love." at the end just creeps me out.

Other than that, it's pretty good.

3. He was a terrific Scrooge!

I only wish PBS or some other network would film his one-man version of A Christmas Carol. I saw it twice on Broadway. It was the most amazing performance I have ever seen on stage! (I dragged my Mother with me the second time. She was blown away!) The man plays ALL the characters. It's unbelievable! I'd love to have a copy of it on DVD. :)

4. Heard a story once....

...that the cast of ST:TNG were upset when he didn't give them free tickets for the show. He had to remind them that he was doing it for charity.

7. LOL! I never heard that one ...

that's pretty funny. :D

5. That's my husband's favorite too.

You know, I have never seen the Alistair Sim version. I bought it on DVD a couple of weeks ago on the strength of all the great reviews it has received, but I haven't had a chance to watch it yet.

We have a tradition of watching the Reginald Owen/Gene Lockhart version every Christmas Eve after the kids go to bed.

6. I also liked the one with George C. Scott,

Bill Murray is the best "modern retelling."

That musical thing with "Fraizer in a nightshirt singing" was the worst EVER. :puke:

8. Yep. Alistair Sim.

I won't even watch the others.
