A Christmas Carol (1984)

The best version I am aware of.
Amazon seems to have mixed up the reviews, so I will say that I am writing about the 1999 DVD of Alistair Sim's A Christmas Carol as released by VCI. I also have the 2007 release, and this 1999 disc is MUCH more enjoyable. Not a perfect transfer of the movie, but good enough to get lost in and revel in Sim's and all the other actors' marvelous performances.

Avoid the 2007 2-disc set at all costs.

One of my favorites.
I own the VHS version I purchased at Blockbuster over 10 years ago.
This is a classic and to readily enjoyed by the young and old. As others have noted, I used to scour the TV guide every week from Thanksgiving on to find a time to enjoy this film.
The best element of this film, which is shared by the Teledrama with George C Scott is the serious nature of the pre repentant Scrooge.
The Muscial Scrooge with Albert Finney makes him a comic character. This is shared by a great version with George Bacchus as the voice in Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol.
In this sense, I prefer the George C Scott version, filmed during the Wall Street era of the 80's, where Scrooge is well groomed, intelligent, and flawed. He is the consumate conservative businessman of both Dickens time, and our own.
I enjoy and own both versions.

My Christmas favorite
"A Christmas Carol" don't appear on television anymore so this is a good investment. It will round out your Christmas holiday to sit down with eggnog and cookies and view this timeless classic.
