For a Christmas story, its actually pretty good. Anyway, what is the best movie version? I'd make a poll, but there are plenty more than characters in this post.
So?

Muppets.
The only version I can stand of this oh, so done to death mediocrity.

Don't much like it. I think that it's been over done and become too cliche for me. But you have to watch every Christmas season. It's one of the traditions that's not sinful, so I can do it, but it really serves no purpose except that you feel guilty if you don't. And because it's so over done, it's nice to see which version does what differently.
Best version though is the one with George C. Scott.
EDIT: Wilgrove reminded me of the one with Patrick Stewart. I'd say that it's a close second.

Who's Patrick Stewart?

He's done a lot of stuff.
Captain Picard in Star Trek:TNG and Charles Xavier in X-Men are the only things which come to mind at the moment.

The guy who played Captain Picard in Star Trek TNG.
Explains why I didn't know him then...

I like the one with Patrick Stewart, also I like the muppets, but my favorite has to be Scrooged. It's great.
I do NOT like the one with Susan Lucci though, that's the one my mom watches every freaking year.

Yeah, that's one of my main reasons for liking it. It seems a lot darker than all the others I've seen...

that was good, it almost makes up for "Lost in Translation" which apparently was a great title, for a movie that I just didn't get.

I hear from someone who "loved it" that I am just "not smart enough to pick up on the theme of the movie"
I totally get the movie, they are lonely, they are alone, they are all confused about life.....
it's just a sucky movie.
