I liked the one with George C. Scott as Scrooge (1984).

The animated one they did in 1971 still sticks with me. Short at under 30 minutes, the imagery is something else. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iN6IMZFwY50

Definitely agree, but the musical version with Albert Finney in the lead role and Alec Guinness as Marley was still interesting . . .

This one, if for only the fun of watching tiny Carol Kane gleefully curb stomping Bill Murray

I thought the two shorts and the really dark Scrooge promo were really funny.
