Hoo-kay

Well, thankfully my Giants won a hard-fought game today. I would be elated if I weren't so miserably sick.

Just crashed on the couch and watched "Scrooge" on AMC. For me, this 1951 version starring Alastair Sim is the best one ever made. The casting is perfect and it includes many scenes from past, present & future that are often left out.

My personal favorite version of the story, however, is Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol. I've just loved it since I was a kid and the original songs are really catchy. And the Bill Murray "Scrooged" is a really enjoyable update of the tale.

Anyway, since I may not be posting until well into tomorrow - consider this an open thread to promote YOUR favorite version of A Christmas Carol".

Gunight.

1 There was a made-for-TV version a few years ago starring Patrick Stewart that was very good. Although Tiny Tim, as usual, was a little too dam cute.

2 I've always been partial to the version starring Albert Finney as Scrooge. It was a staple on WPIX Channel 11 in NYC for years.

3 The best ever Scrooge was George C. Scott!! I hope it shows up somewhere this season.
