It's that time of year again when we bust out the Christmas movies and watch them over and over again until we can take NO MORE!

I only have one of those movies I will watch over and over again while all the others will get watched only one time when it's on tv. That one movie I watch or read is A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens and get this, I have three different versions of it that I will watch at least two times each.

The one I will watch the most is the one with Patrick Stewart playing Scrooge.
Next one is the one with Reginald Owen playing Scrooge.
The third is the one with George C. Scott playing Scrooge.

Patrick Stewart in my opinion plays Scrooge the best.
George C. Scott I believe has the best voice and mannerisms.
Reginald Owen is just fun.

The one I avoid like the plague though is the musical where Albert Finney plays Scrooge, I believe it was Albert Finney. Although, the one with Albert Finney has Scrooge going to hell which isn't in any of the others.

I will also read the book as well...I know, I'm crazy.

Anyway, what is that one movie you will watch over and over or story you have to read during this time of year?

How in God’s name do you not watch the Alastair Sim version? I mean all your choices are solid, but Alastair Sim is the standard. Btw my sig is a partial quote from the Scott version. (Couldn’t fit the whole quote so I edited as best I could)

Muppet Christmas Carol for life!!!!

Christmas Vacation
Ernest Saves Christmas
The Santa Clause
Both Grinch movies
All the Rankin and Bass I can handle
and much much more.

I watch a lot of different Christmas movies because I am a Christmas enthusiast. My screen name gives me away, even if it is not as jolly of a character as I tend to be.

Ah, Trading Places.  I loved seeing that on cable as a teen, especially when the brunette pops up out of the bed and says "I've been waiting for you, Billy Ray."
