I love the black and white versions of A Christmas Carol. They have the atmosphere that colour versions don't especially the Alistair Sim film. That's beautifully atmospheric.
Part of me would like that on Blu-ray but another part simply wants to stick with a scratchy print as that adds to the charm.
