When I was a young child of six or seven I saw George C. Scott. Yes, then already he was to be and remained the Scrooge which I keep loving. After quite some research and actually reading the novel itself I keep to it, that this is the best version which I know.

I was also pretty impressed with the bold Scrooge.

The Tiny Tim of 1984 is sooo breathtaking. You are just crying every time you'll see him.

Can you please post the whole 1984 movie?

@Leviye1 I think Tiny Tim 1984 is the best of them too. Sorry but I don't think it's cool with youtube to upload a entire film but look at this- one left at this price on Amazon:

what's the black and white one, the one with scrooge at 6:20? I rather liked his line after he dismissed cratchit . . . "I don't deserve to be so happy" (scowls . . . then begins to chuckle) "I can't help it . .. (begins to laugh) I just can't help it!" yeah. which movie is that?? it's gotta be on youtube somewhere . .

@cimoirine It's the 1951 version with Alistair Sim. His depiction of Scrooge after his 'reclamation' is stands out among all the other portrayals. In fact I think it is Sim's wonderful job of bringing Scrooge to life in this last chapter that accounts for 1951 being considered the definitive film version. I do not agree due to the great liberties it takes with the plot, going as far to make up entirely new scenes.

Lovely job at putting all this together. As you pointed out a number of interpretations change the story but I think book to movie is not always a good idea. To your question though. I definitely like Sim as the best Scrooge but George C. Scott really mad it alive for me. The animated was far too short but very true but has suffered from the time.  Even Curry and the others have some merit points, Stewart is the most bookish like. Really points can be made for each and another comment.

The 1999 version is the best. Patrick Stewart is by far the best Scrooge.

WELL DONE!!

Good job on this whole project. My favorite scene in this section has to be Scrooge coming to Fred's party. Dickens really portrays Scrooge as super nervous about how Fred will react. And it's the one real time Scrooge has to humble himself and throw himself on another's mercy. PS portrayed that well.

[dewhistle]

AND Fred. I like that the Fred in the PS version kinda creeps up on Scrooge before barking "Merry Christmas!" at him. And when they end up at Fred's party, his laugh is heard first, and it's just the sort of infectious laugh Dickens described. The Fred in George C Scott's version seems a too easily bummed out. I think he's supposed to be a little more resilient. Over all, PS caught the spirit of it and was a suitably bald and chilly Scrooge. And he can sure belt out a carol.

[dewhistle]

Well, my favorite is the Patrick Stewart version, though I wish it included the scene of Scrooge's girlfriend with her family. But there's good points to many versions, though the Reginald Owen is the worst, in my view. George C Scott is a marvelous actor but a little too robust for the role. But the PS version has the nicest music in it, lots of songs that fit the time (really like Fezziwig's party) and beautiful incidental music. No one quite got the little sister right, though. Too big.
