A Christmas Carol

We have all heard and/or seen the movies. An IMDb writer summarizes the book/movie as, "On Christmas Eve, an old miser named Ebenezer Scrooge is visited by the spirit of his former partner, Jacob Marley. The deceased partner was in his lifetime as mean and miserly as Scrooge is now and he warns him to change his ways or face the consequences in the afterlife. Scrooge dismisses the apparition but the first of the three ghosts, the Ghost of Christmas Past, visits as promised. Scrooge sees those events in his past life, both happy and sad, that forged his character. The second spirit, the Ghost of Christmas Present, shows him how many currently celebrate Christmas. The Ghost of Christmas yet to Come shows him how he will be remembered once he is gone. To his delight, the spirits complete their visits in one night giving him the opportunity to mend his ways."
Which ones are the best?

All in all, I say: READ IT! It's way better than all the movies. But if you insist......

All in all, I say: SKIP IT - it's really dated and there are better out there. The play would be a ton better than this version.

This 1951 version is good. All in all, I say: SEE IT

A 1962 tv version starring Magoo as Scrooge. All in all, I say: SEE IT, but I have always loved Magoo.

If you like the Muppets -this is one of the better ones. All in all, I say: SEE IT - if you don't like Muppets then I wouldn't bother

Carrey (Liar, Liar) is just way too over the top. All in all, I say: SKIP IT
