I have been in love with this movie ever since I first saw it when I was about 5 or 6. Ever since then, every Christmas I have sat down to watch this amazing classic film about a wicked man who is visited by three spirits who hope to make him change his ways.
It's obvious that this is the best film adaptation of Dickens' novel in existence, and it's probably the most well known. The movie is made so well, it was really a milestone for films back then. The special effects in this movie are really good for their time, and they still hold up today. This movie just has a Christmassy feel to it. You get that Christmas feeling when you're watching it, just like you might get the Halloween feeling when watching Halloween. The performances in this movie are something else. Alastair Sim gave the best performance of his career in this film.
I truly believe that A Christmas Carol set the tone for Christmas movies of that era and of today. It really is the best Christmas movie ever made, and not only that, but it is an amazing movie outside of the Christmas season as well. This is a classic that will still be going strong in another 55 years.
10/10
