TNT
1999 (TV) - 1 hr 35 min
Director: David Hugh Jones
Starring: Patrick Stewart, Richard E. Grant, Joel Grey
Right in time for Christmas, this movie popped up in the queue (yes, my reviews are taking longer than my movie-watching, ironic isn't it?)
And this is my favorite version and my very favorite Scrooge, so hooray! Michael Caine's pretty good in the Muppet version, which we watched on Christmas Eve (but doesn't come up in this list until M) but I love Patrick Stewart, as does any true Trekkie. Or fan of bald men.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard aside, this version is also the most true to the text (that I know of). So it may not have Muppets or 3D like Jim Carrey's version, but it remains a staple of my holiday movie-watching every year.
This was a great version. The George C. Scott one is also worth checking out if you haven't seen it.
