Who is seriously watching ALL the extant versions of "A Christmas Carol"?

[CTyankee]

Which one is your favorite?

Hubby is doing his ritual watching of each version. It's like "comfort" food for him. He grew up Protestant and converted to Judaism years ago, but he likes his old habit of watching the movie versions.

1. Only one I've seen this year is "Spirited"

Will Ferrell
Ryan Reynolds
Octavia Spencer

Very funny and some great grand dance numbers.

[CTyankee]

3. that sounds wonderful. I love Octavia Spencer in particular...

[NNadir]

2. My wife was watching "Scrooged" last night. I didn't sit down for it. I was busy.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

4. Is it humanly possible to watch all the versions without your brain turning to razzleberry dressing?

One source I found claims there are 135 versions out there. And I'm not even sure that covers all the episodic TV series using the plot, like "The Odd Couple" Scrooge Gets an Oscar (TV Episode 1970)

After Oscar refuses to be Scrooge in a children's play, his poker buddies come to him in a dream giving him the Christmas Carol treatment.

5. Not me. One is more than enough.

[Sneederbunk]

6. The Alastair Sim b&w version is the only one for me.

[CTyankee]

14. That is hubby's favorite. I think he (and you) are right!

[wnylib]

18. I have 2 versions, Alistair Sums and George V. Scott.

The Scott one was an accidental purchase when looking for the Sims version. Did not bother returning it. Sims is my favorite.

[yellowdogintexas]

21. those are my favorites as well!

Third place is probably Muppet Christmas Carol

[Sibelius Fan]

7. The one version I must watch every year is Alastair Sim.

The one version I avoid is George C. Scott.

[LakeArenal]

8. I Watch every one. Love them

1951

I also love with Patrick Stewart and although I hate all his other movies the one with Jim Carey.

[Midnight Writer]

9. Another vote for Alistair Sim.

[RockRaven]

10. Wikipedia tells me there are 32 film versions and 34 TV versions...

Of course not all of those are still readily available for viewing without serious time and effort to acquire them. Still, I would get so bored...

[bluestarone]

11. Yep

Vote for Alistair Sims! (the best one)

[Cartoonist]

12. Magoo

Haven't seen it since I was a kid. It's the only one I'm interested in seeing again someday. Next year, maybe.

20. Well, Razzleberry Dressing! Why put it off!

[yellowdogintexas]
