Scroodged (1988)
The second A Christmas Carol adaption on this list, Scrooged sees a cold-hearted Bill Murry getting to grips with the ghosts of his past, present and future, only this time there’s a modern twist. While The Muppets version retains the traditional settings and characters of Dickins’ novel, Scrooged relocates to New York where television executive Frank (Murray) is working himself into an early grave, until he learns the true meaning of Christmas.

Elf
In 2003 Will Ferrell stepped into the oversized shoes of his alter-ego Buddy the elf. An overzealous Buddy soon realises he’s not like the rest of Santa’s little helpers (his adult size, is a pretty big hint), and heads for the big apple to find out where he’s from. Elf’s jovial sense of humour and slapstick comedy garnered favourable reviews. The film greatly exceeded its production value making over $200 million at the box office, worldwide.
