A Christmas Carol

Just finished my annual viewing of A Christmas Carol. And not one of those rubbish modern versions either - it was the 1951 black-and-white version starring Alastair Sim as Scrooge:

This movie always used to freak me out a little when I was a kid - even now, I find some of the special effects (or lack thereof) unintentionally weird. Ah well, British film wasn't exactly at the cutting edge of technology back then. And it's still a great nostalgia trip.
