I love "The Christmas Carol" with Patrick Stewart...

I intend to get a DVD of it this year if I can find it.

I also like catching the old cartoons..."Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer", "Frosty the Snowman" and all those kids shows from when I was a kid...

I like "A Christmas Carol" too Jess. But my favorite version is the one with George C. Scott as Scrooge. I think it was made in the late 1980s.

Great flick for Halloween.  When I finally saw it, however    I liked it and I didn't like it. I liked it, but I thought, either they should have gone with the business of Crane being a "modern," "scientific" detective--and had it turn out to be nothing supernatural--or else they should have dropped the opening bit about modern science and just made it all supernatural. The mixture of the two left me feeling kind of--I don't know--eh?

It was steampunk.  I really like it.

They did pursue the scientific/gumshoe line, until he found out it was really supernatural.  Kinda X-files like.

I also like how Depp's hero Crane is basically a coward.

I'll have you know in the Magickal community Halloween is the biggest holiday of our liturgical year, so there.

Actually, David, it goes all the way back to 1984.

But, thank heavens, I've finally found someone else who likes that version!  

I love that version! What a great cast: George C. Scott, David Warner, Roger Rees, Susannah York, Edward Woodward. ...

Eh, I didn't like George's version.  He only had one expression - stern and hard - so his conversion was less convincing IMO.  And OMG, I was overjoyed Patrick Stewart made a version, then the producers committed the unpardonable sin of making a Christmas Carol boring.  I got bored and walked off after a while.  I NEVER do that with the older 1940's versions.  I was SO disappointed.

My favorite is, and will always be, "It's a Wonderful Life", with Jimmy Stewart.
