Movie: A Christmas Carol


My rating on a 1-10 scale: 8
Main characters: Scrooge, The Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, Future, Bob Cratchit
Genre: Life, classic
Primary actors: Patrick Stewart
Based on: A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
Time period: 1800's
Exciting events: Many travels, walking through walls, etc.
Quote(s): God bless us, every one! I was wondering if you'd like Mr. Marley's name removed from the sign, outside. No, time will erase it at no cost to us. He'll be about as merry as a graveyard on a wet Sunday.
Year it came out: 1999
My overall opinion: This is a good movie! It sticks fairly closely to the book, but there are some differences.
