THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – EBENEEZER (1998)

 

A reworking of Charles Dickens well spun yarn of redemption.

This retelling of the story is set in a Wild West Town where Ebeneezer Scrooge (Jack Palance) a heartless grasping bitter old miserly land baron, gunfighter, and cheating card sharp who is visited on Christmas Eve by the ghost of his old partner Jacob Marlowe (Richard Halliday), who scares him with tales of hell and warns him he will have further visitations to give him a long-overdue attitude adjustment and show him the errors of his ways.

The first visitor is the ghost of Christmas Past (Michelle Thrush), the second visitor is the ghost of Christmas Present (Richard Comar) and the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come is (Morris Chapdelaine).

Between them they force him to face the consequences of his skinflint ways, and as a result he becomes a caring, generous, amiable man and discovers the true spirit of Christmas.
