A Christmas Carol

Original review by Top 100 Christmas Movies · Independent & ad-free

1984 - PG - 100 MINS - DRAMA

Top cast: George C. Scott, Frank Finlay

In a nutshell

A bitter old miser who rationalizes his uncaring nature learns compassion when visited by 3 spirits on Christmas Eve.

Our review

A wonderful adaption, brought to life by Scott as Scrooge.  The dark lack of color is unappealing to some and more authentic to others.  You know the story but try this version if you haven't seen it yet.
