ScroogeonScreen

Reginald Owen is my favorite #ScroogeOnScreen. I love this 1938 version. Ann Rutherford‘s Ghost of Christmas Past is my #FaveCarolCharacter although everyone is great is this version. Did you know that Dickens wrote FIVE Christmas books? https://www.nypl.org/blog/2014/12/18/charles-dickens-christmas-stories. I‘ll be reading the other four during the #ChristmasCarolBuddyRead.

queerbookreader Oooooo I've never heard of this version before, it sounds cool!! 7y

Lola @queerbookreader It‘s soooo good. So is the 1951 version (called Scrooge) with Alastair Sim 7y

Lwiesman @Lola I like the Alastair Sim version the best as well. My dad introduced that one to me. 7y

A Christmas Carol | Charles Dickens

My #FaveCarolCharacter and #FaveXmasGhost is probably the Ghost of Christmas past in the 2009 adaptation. I remember being fascinated by it when I watched the movie because it's tiny and cute😄😄and also because of its significance. I also like Scrooge even though he's a mean old man😂 The way he was frightened when Marley's ghost appeared gave me a good chuckle!!

@KVanRead

KVanRead That‘s my favorite adaptation of that particular ghost. I think it‘s the best visual representation of Dickens description. 7y

swatreads @KVanRead That's awesome😍 I love Dickens' imagination in this classic😍 7y

Merethebookgal LOVE this version! 7y

TheKidUpstairs "I am here to tell a story" "and I am here for the food!" My favourite adaptation, too!!!! 7y

queerbookreader My fav is Mr. Magoo's A Christmas Carol. Our tape is probably going to burn out soon we've played it so many times 😂 7y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @queerbookreader I just posted that one as a close second! Hahaha! 7y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @TheKidUpstairs I love the Marley and Marley hecklers too. 7y

TheKidUpstairs @Riveted_Reader_Melissa yes! I had a holiday trivia night at work last night, and one of the questions was asking the full name of Scrooge's former partner. This scene popped into my head and I had to think for a second as to which name was the actual answer! 7y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @TheKidUpstairs Don‘t say we never learned anything from cartoons and muppets.😂👍 7y

Johanna414 My favorite! 7y

Books88 Mine too! 7y

A Christmas Carol | Charles Dickens

I'm with Nephew Fred! My favourite #scroogeonscreen had always been the Muppets. I can absolutely believe that Gonzo is Dickens and Michael Caine's singing is flawless (🙄) but I'm very excited that the BBC has commissioned A Christmas Carol Goes Wrong from the side-splittingly funny Mischief Theatre! #christmascarolbuddyread @KVanRead

KVanRead Ooh yay another one to look forward to! 7y

A Christmas Carol | Charles Dickens

Issue 1 done for #ChristmasCarolBuddyRead🎄It's been ages since I sat down & read this holiday classic & I forgot some of Dickens's humor. I have a few #ScroogeonScreen favorites--Reginald Owen in the 1938 version (the classic we watched the most when I was growing up), Patrick Stewart in the 1999 television version (the only attractive Scrooge)😘& Bill Murray in 1988's Scrooged (the funniest Scrooge). Do you have a favorite? #ChristmasCarolReread

KVanRead

arlenefinnigan I LOVE Scrooged! 7y

GlassAsDiamonds PATRICK STEWART?!? Right, I need that! 😊😊😊 7y

JazzFeathers I really need to watch these. I used to see this on tv on most Christmases, one version or another, but now it's been ages since last l've seen any film adaptations of this 7y

A Christmas Carol | Charles Dickens

This movie scarred me deeply as a child, but Scrooged remains my favorite #scroogeonscreen adaptation. Bill Murray is great, but Carol Kane really steals the show in this one.

JackOBotts Yaaaassssss! Love Scrooged! 7y

danibolahood I just watched this for the first time! I feel like I've been missing out every Christmas now. 7y

saresmoore @JackOBotts @ohyeahthatgirl I lurve it. Some of my favorite dark comedy. 7y

saresmoore @danibolahood It really stands the test of time, I think! Well, at least more than other Christmas flicks... (I‘m looking at you, It‘s a Wonderful Life.) 7y

readordierachel This and Elf have become a Christmas tradition in my family. Carol Kane 💙 7y

vivastory I love this one. I haven't watched it in years, definitely due for a rewatch. 7y

saresmoore @ReadOrDieRachel My husband and I had to take an Elf break this year. Well, that‘s his choice. I‘ll probably still watch it. We both have it memorized! 7y

saresmoore @vivastory You won‘t regret it! Especially after reading A Christmas Carol, I really appreciated Scrooged—slightly twisted and unsettling in a borderline offensive way—it seems very Dickensian. 7y

KVanRead She is fabulous! 7y

KVanRead Love her in Kimmy Schmidt too 7y

saresmoore @KVanRead I love Kimmy Schmidt—it is so wonderfully ridiculous! 7y

Suet624 Love both Carol and Kimmy. 7y

A Christmas Carol | Charles Dickens

I started my #ChristmasCarolReread on #SerialReader this evening and I'm really looking forward to enjoying and discussing it with everyone! I listened to it on audio last year, but I'm sure I will notice more details reading the text this year. My favorite movie version is also The Muppet Christmas Carol, and I'll probably watch it this weekend.

#ChristmasCarolBuddyRead #ScroogeonScreen

Ke633 LOVE the muppets version!! So much! 💙💙 7y

KVanRead What a beautiful post! 7y

Daisey @Ke633 Yes! It‘s so good! 7y

Daisey @KVanRead Thanks! Loving seeing all the posts for this readalong! 7y

JazzFeathers Reading this story, and actually Dickens, for the first time ever and l can't belive how good it is! 7y

A Christmas Carol | Charles Dickens

This is the first #ScroogeOnScreen that made an impression on me. I remember watching the George C. Scott version and being absolutely terrified by Marley's ghost as a kid.

The first installment really set the tone for how dreary and cold London was. I loved the opening line about Marley being dead. I hope we get to see him in the next installment. This is my first time actually reading this Dickens novel! #ChristmasCarolBuddyRead @KVanRead

KVanRead Love it! I was just reading that Dickens apparently experienced a series of especially cold London winters as a child and that influenced his description. 7y

Billypar This is not just my favorite adaptation, but favorite Christmas movie, and probably favorite George C. Scott role- he's phenomenal. 7y

AmandaL @KVanRead I love all the Dickens information you're adding to this read along - that's really interesting. 7y

AmandaL @Billypar That's awesome - he will always be the picture of Scrooge to me. I think of him in this role even before Patton. 👍 7y
