One of my personal favourite Christmas films is Scrooged. This alternative look on the classic Christmas carol film directed by Richard Donner stars Bill Murray as the lead role of a privileged man of power who takes life for granted. This is until he his visited by three ghosts to teach him how he should live his life.
*SPOILER ALERT* (if you haven't seen the film sorry)
This is one of my personal favourites as its a dark comedy of Charles Dickens classic 'A Christmas Carol'. The film it's self does explore the classic moral of the story of being grateful for what you have but does it in a way that modern society can relate to. The fact that it is modernised means the use of special effect improves the appearance and persona of the characters in the film. As death is seen as a darker character rather than an ominous warning to the lead role.
One detail that is overlooked is the fact the director chose to have Bill Murray's character direct the classic version of A Christmas Carol. The use of this mocks the lead role and also shows audiences how far technology and imagination has changed a simple story into thousands of different unique versions of its self.
Definitely watch this film over Christmas the whole family should love it as I do
