Best Movie Ebenezer Scrooge?

[elperromagico]

I did not include an Other option; if you favor someone else, let me know and I'll put them on the list - until I reach ten options, of course.

[7th_Sephiroth]

1. the one i grew up watching

was the disney one with Scrooge Mc Duck as, SUPRISE, Scrooge

[elperromagico]

2. You want I should include him, eh?

:D

[7th_Sephiroth]

4. and the muppet christmas carrol

those 2 are my favorites

[Nicole]

3. Susan Lucci

as Ebby Scrooge just because she is the only female scrooge I have seen.


I already voted for George C. Scott though.

[NNadir]

5. Bill Murray did a good job in "Scrooged."

[LostInAnomie]

7. Damn right!

I love that movie.

[elperromagico]

8. I would include him, but his character wasn't even named Scrooge.

Based on Scrooge, certainly - but not Scrooge.

Don't you love technicalities? :D

[NNadir]

13. No.

6. WHERE MR. MCGOO'S "A CHRISTMAS CAROL"

At least it followed the book, it had a young boy (AS IN THE BOOK) as the ghost of Christmas past, not a woman like the rest of the movies (OK being a Cartoon all they had to do was DRAW a young boy, not try to get a young boy with 20 years acting experience, which is why women have ALWAYS played the role of Christmas Past).

Of the Movie versions I perfer George C Scott's but I like McGoo's the best.

14. I prefer Mr. Magoo, too

In fact, all the Mr. Magoo versions of classic literature were good.

Actually, the Ghost of Christmas Past is described as being of indeterminate age and sex from what I remember.

If we're going with live actors, I think Alistair Sim is probably the best.

19. Not Always...

In the Alistair Sim version, the Ghost of Christmas Past was played by a man in a long White Wig...definitely not a woman.

9. Not that I am asking you to add it but..

Wasn't there a version with The Fonz as Scrooge? Henry Winkler that is.

[elperromagico]

10. Not according to imdb.com.

[johnnie]

12. Oh..ok

I just checked. It was called "An American Christmas Carol". It was like the original but based in America during the great depression. I knew it was something like that.

[Nicole]

16. yes he did

An American Christmas Carol

It was pretty good.

11. Micheal Caine in the Muppet version

That version is wonderful.

Although I watch the Alastair Sim's version when it's on.

[Kahuna]

15. Bill Murray!

:D

[elperromagico]

17. Okay, okay. Just this once, I'll give in to popular demand.

Well, not actually just this once. I've done it many times before - I'm a real flip-flopper.

[mcscajun]

18. Alistair Sim's performance is the Gold Standard.

And I'm not just saying that 'cause it was filmed in the year I was born, so I grew up watching it. :)

But the Reginald Owen version had the better Marley -- Leo G. Carroll
