11. A Christmas Carol (1951)

Also known as 'Scrooge,' this take is hailed as the best for its definitive Ebenezer Scrooge, fittingly played by a man named Alastair Sim, who gives a superb performance. Though a colourised version exists, we'd recommend kicking it old school and watching it in its original black and white beauty.
