Christmas isn't Christmas until you have watched this movie! It's a wee tradition in my house that we watch this on Christmas Eve night! Love it..,Albert Finney is by far the best Scrooge ever!
This is and always will be the best version of A Christmas Carol. I don't believe any other actor has been able to capture the truly changed man Scrooge became as well as Albert Finney did. When he starts dancing around his room and throwing his papers around, it's like watching someone who has truly undergone a great ordeal and come out alive at the end.
Gotta read the book man... Scrooge thought he was being noble. He loves his money so much that he refuses to spend it on things like decoration. It's his thought that poor people waste their money and thats why they are poor. So by being frugal and spartan he is being a good example. Instead it just makes him old and bitter.
This film brings back warm memories. The best musical version of Dickens' "ghostly little book" ever. Finney was superb in this - and this sequence never ceases to make me weep.
I love this song, it's probably one of the ones I sing the most from this movie (with the possible exception of "Thank You Very Much" and "I Hate People" XD)
My most favorite Film ever. This is favourite part - his chance to begin again. Never get tired of watching this film. Yes, Albert Finney remains the best Scrooge.
@Evokeamemory This is one of my all-time favourite films too. I love it so much. It's so life-affirming and moving. I never tire of it and Albert Finney *is* the best Ebenezer Scrooge!
My favorite scene this one is. It's such a poignant movie, such a brilliant story. Thank you so much for posting this, now my friends wont think I'm crazy when I break into song!
What a great performance by Finney and what a great musical. In Egypt, some 20 years ago, they used to run this version every christmas and I never forget it. Now they rarely run any foreign movies at all; nothing from the west should be admired anymore. Let's protect our traditions they would say,,, etc.
Merry Christmas!

I may have said it before, but this is the only version of Scrooge's conversion I ever believed.

So many curtains... It's like someone at Bed Bath and Beyond took advantage of Scrooge...

I laughed so hard. I kept hearing (forgive me) Mike Nelson and the MST3K robots in my head, riffing the scene:
"He should begin again with some interior decorating."
"I'll take a pole-dancing class!"
"MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!"
"It's February!"
*Scrooge slides down the banister*
"Ooooh! Oh, no! No! Well, now he'll definitely never father children."
Again, this was all in my head. And I apologize for insulting what I'm sure is a lovely movie in it's own way.
