You forgot Scrooged with Bill Murray.

I've never included "Scrooged"; it's so different from the original, I don't count it as a direct adaptation.

Well that time of year again to watch the scrooge movies.Of course think the 51 version is the best. Which brings me to my point. Time to read your great interveiw with the beautiful Teresa derrington again. For those who are not aware she was freds maid and was loved worldwide and still is. Can never thank you enough for that sir. Sadly she has passed but left us with a lifetime of memmories
