THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – A CHRISTMAS CAROL (1984)

 

George C. Scott stars as miser Ebenezer Scrooge in this quality retelling of Charles Dickens' “A Christmas Carol”.

The classic tale in which he is taught the true meaning of Christmas by three Spirits who visit him, revealing to him the truth about his own miserable existence, what opportunities he wasted in his youth, his current catalogue of cruelties, and the dire fate that awaits him if he does not change his ways.

Scrooge is faced with his own story of growing bitterness and meanness, and must decide what his own future will hold, death or redemption.

The Spirits are played by Angela Pleasence (Past), Edward Woodward (Present) and Michael Carter (Future)

The other key characters and portrayed by Frank Finlay (Marley), Lucy Gutteridge (Belle), David Warner and Susannah York (The Cratchit’s), Anthony Walters (Tiny Tim), Timothy Bateson  and Pat Rose  (The Fezziwig’s), Roger Rees  (Fred) and Joanne Whalley  (Fan).
