I think its a classic on many levels and not just because it is Bill Murray at his best! The realism of the 'mean spiritedness' gives strength to the whole. Fantastic performances by John Forsythe, Carol Kane, Karen Allen, Alfre Woodard, Bobcat Goldthwaite and so many more. That we still laugh today as hard as the first time is also part what makes Scrooged a holiday classic. I look forward to seeing it in July too.
