I love this film. Alastair Sim is the definitive Scrooge. Although I watch this almost every year, this was the first year that I've watched the colourized version as well as the black-and-white. I enjoyed the colours - really well done, but the black & white version is noticeably scarier. It loses some edge when colour is added; also I believe that when a move is shot in black & white it is meant to be viewed that way, from the perspective of the director choosing the shots, lighting, angles etc. Still, I plan to watch it again next year, and every year after that, whichever way the TV channel chooses to show it.
