Is it Scrooge? Muppet Christmas Carol? The Jim Carrey one?
I just saw a ranking on Collider. They had 21 different versions to rank. I'm going to say I've only seen a couple all the way through. The reason this comes up was I saw the 1938 version last night with Reginald Owen. It was terrible. They cut out so much. Death looked like a guy in a robe who could barely act.
I will say that I do agree with their number 1 which is the 1951 version with Alastair Sim. I think I saw it in the Town and Country theater for the first time. They must have been doing a retrospective or rerelease of some kind. But it stayed with me. I'm curious about George C. Scott's version as well as Patrick Stewart's version. I did catch a bit of the Jim Carrey version and it wasn't as terrible as I expected.
If I was good forum master, I would pull all the CC threads into this thread for one stop shopping.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
