In Scrooged, Bill Murray plays a selfish and cynical TV executive who fires a staff member on Christmas Eve. Soon after, he is visited by a series of ghosts who aim to help him reevaluate his life and fix his mistakes before it's too late.

The movie takes plenty of risks both narratively and visually, an unconventional choice for viewers in need of Christmas cheer. However, Murray's appealing performance and the film's darker tone help Scrooged stand out from the crowd. It was a movie ahead of its time, which only makes it more appealing nowadays.
