Christmas wouldn’t be the same without a version of Dicken’s ‘Christmas Carol’ appearing on screen. Along with ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ and ‘Miracle on 34th Street’ its essential viewing over the holidays, giving you a warm feeling inside which makes you want to hug all your friends and relatives and draw all your money out of the nearest cash point and distribute it to the poor and needy. But which version is the best? Over the years we’ve had the classical scrooges, comical scrooges, musical scrooges, Muppet scrooges and Donald Duck.

This has to be my favourite Christmas movie of all time. I probably shouldn't admit it but it is. I know it's the old story of the not very nice person becoming the nicest person alive, but this movie tells it best. I watch this film every year without doubt and I never get bored with scrooge. Obviously he is the main and best charachter in the film. The film main focus is the christams theme of "goodwill to all men" and films nowadays do not do this justice. Even now when I watch this it reminds me of my childhood Christmas's and thats probably why I still enjoy it. You know how it's going to end but it's always ...
