3. Just watched the Reginald Owens version last nite...

Not my favorite...he's an okay Scrooge, but the rest of the movie deviated from the book too far (Cratchett fired, left out Scrooge's girlfriend from the past, etc.)

4. Where the hell is Albert Finney?

[catmandu57]

13. He's in the other catagory

I don't remember ever seeing him in the role.

[Faygo Kid]

15. "Scrooge," the musical version, 1970

Surprised he wasn't on the poll list, too. He did a good job. Might want to edit the poll to add him. Would still vote for Scott, though. Thank you very much.

6. Alistar Sims

This has always been my favorite although Patrick Stewart and George C. Scott were great in the role also.

Does anyone know when the Allistar Sims version will be on???

9. Alistar Sims' version is my favorite

afraid I can't tell you when it will be on. I grew up in Illinois and we had a family tradition of watching that version every Christmas Eve after we'd returned from the candlelight service. One of the Chicago stations always showed it around 11pm every Christmas Eve.

my favorite.

8. $crooge McDuck

Not really, but I thought he should be mentioned. :D

[VOX]

11. I have to go with Alastair Sim...

I love his transformation the best. The movie itself is very dark, in all respects.

12. Phillip Lam

CFO of the evil corporation that owns us.

[Faygo Kid]

14. George C. Scott was brilliant

Not to take away from Alistair Sim or the others, but I found Scott's performance one of the best ever in any film. He definitely gets my vote, and those who disagree should be boiled in pudding and buried with a sprig of holly through their heart.

16. The best Scrooge? Dick Cheney, of course.

[Faygo Kid]

17. Hah! Great pic!

Peace? Bah, Humbug!

[ThoughtCriminal]

18. Oh wow

Now there's a man who needs to get a spiritual visit this Christmas Eve.

[SammyWinstonJack]

28. Geez that's scary looking

One would think with all of Cheney's millions he could afford to go to the Dentist and get those teeth fixed.

19. Bill Murhay in Scrooged....

[trof]

20. Other: George W. Bush*

[Ediacara]

21. Michael Caine in "Muppet Christman Carol"

Shockingly accurate to the book, and super acting from the humans!

[Breezy du Nord]

23. I LOVE that movie!

I absolutely love the Muppets in general. Rizzo's in that one and I totally love that rat!

[jpgray]

25. Scrooge Fucking McDuck

And I defy anyone to challenge it.

27. Jack Palance

Did an old-west version a few years ago called "Ebenezer." Filmed it out near my end of the world. It's kinda fun.
