Hey guys. Slight change of plans again. Sorry, I guess this is what I get for trying something new XD

Because their all pretty damn accurate I've had to drop the Most Actuate Story category.


And I'm going to be giving the ghosts of past present and yet to come their own category each as no single film managed to get all three right.


If this effects your nominations let me know ^_^

Nah - doesn't do anything for me since I've seen so few. (Admittedly I've seen parts of the Muppets one, but never could sit through the whole thing. Even as a kid I wasn't fond of animals playing human roles. That's why I don't care for the Disney one either.) Ever since you started this though I've been trying to remember this other version I saw. It was made by some religious organization for tv, modernized - I'm not sure if they actually used the names Scrooge and Marley however I'll use them for convenience sake, but while it followed the basic ideas of the original story, it was really about Marley trying to keep Scrooge from going to Hell - I believe both had been atheists. There's a big speech from Marley about what Hell is really like - not fire and brimstone and all that jazz, but an eternal separation from God and everyone else. Always alone. (Which is the actual Biblical description of Hell, BTW. You're forever alone in the dark - aware of others out there, unable to talk to them or they to you.) And of course Scrooge becomes a Christian in the end. It was either the late 80's or early 90's I saw it. Obviously I'm not telling you to add that to the list. I don't remember the title and it was made for American TV. I have no idea how you'd find it and if it's even available anywhere - I only saw it the one time.

I just saw the 1931 version and of all the versions i've seen it has by far the weakest scrooge. Though, a pretty solid supporting cast, with Scrooges nephew being a particularily big standout. I also really liked Cratchett and the ghost of Christmas present.

Best Past - Muppet Christmas Carol. Because that was the only one that I remember well, and not because of Gonzo and Ritzo lassoing on to follow them into the past Best Present - 1984 George C Scott version or Scrooged...I think that 1984 one was the only one who had the evil-looking kids with him that represented the bad parts of Christmas, when he threw Scrooge's words about poor houses and orphanages back in his face before having to leave. If I'm wrong...then whichever movie that is (you're not wrong about movies, Holy Yuletide Spirits). After I read the book, I keep wanting that one, because as fun as Christmas Present was, he was also one who basically was like "yeah, also things suck too, and you're to blame for it, so go meet Death now." But you can also never go wrong with Carol Kane in a fairy outfit causing Bill Murray harm with a toaster while showing him all the "fun" everyone else is having. Also fairy dust and knocking out via wands is just as much fun. It's Carol Kane, she's awesome. Best Future - toss up between Muppet Christmas Carol or Mickey's Christmas Carol ...I'm a sucker for Pete as Death and damn if that scene where he tosses Scrooge into the grave didn't stay with me into adulthood o_o. But the Muppet one was also perfect in just being unyielding and silent but also a great one to direct Scrooge when he finally accepted he'd have to listen to it and go with it. Pete was over-the-top but perfect because it was short and only covered the two important changes - the loved one's death vs. the unloved one's death. Pete just shoving Scrooge into the grave was perfect for his character, but also to show how Scrooge <i>had</i> to change, or else. Yeah, Dickens was never subtle with his messages in these cases, but honestly I do like the ghosts of the present and future best. Yes, the past shows how Scrooge became the a**hole he is, but the present and future also gives him a glimpse into what he <i>could</i> have and what he can finally take, over what he lost because of his studies and what he became due to circumstances. Fine, yes, remind him of his DEAD SISTER, instead of showing him how freakin' happy her son is and the awesome party he wants you to go to. Though to be fair, his nephew probably did all the expenses for Scrooges' burial and got everyone to go when he could. Sorry, ranting over
