Oh yeah a few years ago Lifetime or some local ran a 1978 version of Christmas Carol called An American Carol with Henry Winkler.

It ran in 2014 either on Lifetime Movie Network or my local My Network station. I forgot which one.

Totally agree.

A CHRISTMAS CAROL
GOD BLESS YOU, FREEPERS. Have a blessed and Merry Christmas.

There is a version Disney’s “A Christmas Carol” which is excellent IMO.

It’s not animated like a cartoon. I don’t know what techniques were used to make it, but I like it. The candle “Christmas Past” is very well done.

The animated version by Richard Williams, which also features Alistair Sim, is also pretty good, being based on the illustrations from the original Dickens story.

Out of all, that’s my favorite version.

Mr. Magoo’s A Christmas Carol is the best, bar none. It’s even better than the original book by Charles Dickens.

[Polyxene]

I agree! George C. Scott was the best Scrooge!

[Forward the Light Brigade]

I still like Mr Magoo’s version. Great Songs.

[ZChief]

Agree about Pearce version, complete rubbish!

[Drew68]

I'll take the "Married With Children" version where without Al, all the Bundys enjoy successful, well-adjusted lives.

Dark and light. Good and evil. Fate and choice. Christ and satan. Painful and hard to watch. FX’s A Christmas Carol represent our exact moment in time on this earth.

This movie is brilliant. No perversion. Just pain.
