Have several movies that I have to watch, Polar Express, A Christmas Carol, A Christmas Story, The Bishop's Wife, etc. I really like Alastair Sim best, especially the post ghost scenes. I also like the George C Scott version because, George C Scott. Intensely dislike the Guy Pearce and Reginald Owen offerings and muppets, puppies and so on. It may be some sort of perversion...but I also like the Buddy Hackett version, but mostly for Carol Kane's Ghost of Christmas Present. Seeing them all, though! That must take forever! I just checked to find at least 51 different versions!
