After the book that we have read we watched the movie. My favorite character is Tiny Time and Scrooge. I like scrooge because when you hear his voice, you think of and old grumpy man. I like tiny tim because he's tiny, haha and because you can learn a lesson of never giving up, because a gift will soon be aquanted to you. I would recommend this book to the grades of 5th to and above Grades. I have just read the book with my class. After the book that we have read we watched the movie.

One of my guilty pleasures this time of year is Scrooged with Bill Murray. It has so many good one liners. <strong>One of my personal favorites as well. Scott was a great Scrooge.

Scott fan. I realize he's quite talented but he doesn't grab me like DeNiro or Pacino. At any rate, I'll have to give this one a try if only for the fact that you're so incredibly enthralled by it and I never seem to get sick of the story. I be lubbin' the Dickens. Did Monty Python do a version of this classic? If they did, that would probably be my favorite. Thanks for the heads up, dude... ~m <strong>I don't think Monty Python did, but you would probably like the "Blackadder Christmas Carol" starring Rowan Atkinson. Very much in the same vein.

My personal favorite is the Alistair Sims version. I don't know why, I've certainly not analysed it as you have your favorite - but I guess it's just because it speaks to me - and I guess when it comes to favorite movies that would be the top on the list. WC <strong>The Alistair Sims version is certainly very fine. He was THE Scrooge for his time, just as Basil Rathbone was the Sherlock Holmes of his time. In the same vein, I feel that Jeremy Brett (as Holmes) and George C. Scott gave their respective roles a slightly more modern twist, in terms of the emotional angst, while still being true to the 19th century ethos they were portraying.
