Chet, a Baby Boomer, and Dee, a Millennial, share their perspectives on classic films. They'll tell you why they think these films are worth seeing and what we can learn from them. Although you'll hear a little trivia and a bit of talk about film-making and story-telling technique, the emphasis is on the value of the films as cultural artifacts. What do they tell us about the times in which they were made? What lessons can they still teach us today?

18: "Scrooge" (1951, 1970) Classic Movie Recommendation Holiday Edition
During the holiday season, you can't swing a yule log without hitting a TV playing some version of Charles Dickens' classic novel, but we're here to tell you which TWO versions you should be sure to see before the clock strikes one on Dec. 25. Alastair Sim gave perhaps the greatest film performance of the old miser in 1951, and Albert Finny appeared 19 years later in a colorful musical version that received four Oscar nominations. We'll tell you why we love these two versions most of all.
