Love your recommendation, Jason. This is my favorite version, too. I recall being confused when I heard George C. Scott was playing Scrooge (he is so robust and usually they choose a lean, skinny old man for the part.) But holy cats, that man brought such weight to the part. I also love that they leave in so many elements of the story (and the dialogue from the book.)

LITTLE ORPHAN ANNIE creator Harold Gray was an ultraconservative, maybe a neo-Nazi.

My wife hates this movie. Everyone else i know loves it.  

Nah, in america at this time such a genius of the lukewarm waters would either be drafted into the weapons program or labeled a dirty communist

What I like is how this is almost always Ralphie's "interpretation" of reality. The clearest example is when he visits Santa at Higbys. The whole scene is scary and unpleasant. But when Ralphie exits the scene and we get one final shot of Santa and the elves they are being really nice and pleasant, the way we would expect a professionals to be and not at all the way Ralphie experienced it. This makes the movie more interesting to watch as an adult as I try to figure out what really happened versus what is embelished through a childs memory. Layers.
