i do like all the ones mentioned here as well maybe i'm a bgiger kid at heart, but i really like the old-time cartoon ones.. i.e. frosty, the grinch {the cartoon one} rudolph, baby new year (one of my all-time favs), and so on i cannot choose the best one because i love them all!!!!! lol but, , jim carrey did play the most awesome grinch ever!!!! , the movie u are speaking of is called A Christmas Story and it is an all-time classic and has always been in my top 3 favs!!!!

Great cast, & when I like a story/character it's nice to see other interpretations.
It's a timeless classic enjoyed by millions; Gonna Happen.

The Alistair Sim version was far and away the best. Now it's time to leave it alone. I can't imagine any improvement that Jim Carrey would bring to it.

I love A Christmas Carol and enjoy Jim Carrey, but you kind of get tired of the same movies every few years. Who needs another Christmas Carol movie? Now original is that? Not at all. I won't be wasting my money on seeing this one.
