It's an annual December tradition to watch 2000's "A Diva's Christmas Carol" starring Vanessa Williams. Hoping to find a used DVD version soon. Eventually, my VHS is bound to wear out. I have it taped directly off TV from back in the day.

I like the oldest ones, the first 3, and Kelsey Grammer's updated musical version.

1938 Reginald Owen. My favorite.

Love the 1992 Muppet version with Michael Caine, I guess because my kids were little then and loved it so much.

I didn't realize that Reginald Owen has been in numerous films that I like, especially A Tale of Two Cities and Random Harvest with Ronald Coleman.

Mr. Magoo is my favorite. Great score by Jule Styne, especially "Winter Was Warm" and "Alone in the World."

But I love the Albert Finney and the Muppets one too. I've seen all three dozens of times.

I don't remember the George C Scott one too well, but it had Ignorance and Want in the ghost's coat pockets, right? That's a truly harrowing moment.

Oh, Ronald Coleman the greatest male voice I ever heard. Had to reply since his name seldom comes up
and I liked him when I was a kid (the old late show or late late shows which showed old films).

Favorite Christmas movie 1951 "Christmas Carol" with Alistair Sim.

f.2 what a great compilation!

I can add three more:
A Christmas Carol (TV Movie 1977) - IMDb (Scrooge played by BBC's Michael Hordern)
Blackadder's Christmas Carol (TV Movie 1988) - IMDb
The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992) - IMDb

and the one with Patrick Stewart is a classical tell of the story, not a Start Trek episode:
A Christmas Carol (TV Movie 1999) - IMDb
