A Christmas Carol is Charles Dickens' novella that provides a prime example of the classic English ghost story and the Victorian sensibilities regarding the spirit of Christmas. It has proven to be a timeless classic and has been filmed a number of times.

Which is your favourite film version of A Christmas Carol?

I only recall seeing Mickey's, but I forget most of it. I've only seen bits and pieces of other versions (including the Muppet one and the one with Patrick Stewart), but this year I want to sit down to watch one (or two). However, there are so many versions, I'm wondering how you guys felt about some of them.

I'm sure some are better than others.

And before you ask, yes, I've seen Scrooged with Bill Murray...several times. Who do you take me for?

Which is your favourite and why?
