Fight Club (1999) On the Waterfront (1954 Dances with Wolves (1990) Apocalypse Now (1979 The House of the Spirits (1993) Scrooged The film was marketed with references to Ghostbusters which had been a great success four years earlier. In the USA, the tagline was, "Bill Murray is back among the ghosts, only this time, it's three against one." Plot[edit] Frank Cross (Bill Murray) is a cynical television programming executive. His ruthless concentration on his career has cost him his true love, Claire Phillips (Karen Allen). When Cross is given the task of heading up a live Christmas Eve broadcast of A Christmas Carol, his life begins to mirror the story he's producing. The Ghost of Christmas Past (David Johansen) appears as a New York City cab driver and takes Frank back to his childhood in 1955, to his late teens in 1968 when he had his first job at the TV station, to 1969 for his anniversary with Claire, and to 1971, the year in which he chose his job as "Frisbee the Dog" over her. After the second ghost's visit, Eliot Loudermilk, drunk and angry, storms the office with a shotgun and tries to murder Frank.
