This Christmas, watch this classic Ron Howard-directorial, adapted from the 1957 children’s book by Dr. Seuss. While How the Grinch Stole Christmas has completed 22 years since its release, the film surprisingly remains a fun and breezy watch, courtesy a standout performance by Jim Carrey, backed by an Oscar-winning makeup team. The elaborate sets and costumes look sleek even today. But the film’s most compelling part is its big beating heart, which shines through its genuinely scary moments, as it expertly balances humour and horror. There’s no better way to celebrate a lazy Christmas afternoon than watching this classic.
