Definitively one of the very best christmas films. And ofcourse better than the animated remake from 2018 (good film that one too). But it is something with Jim Carrey as the Grinch, since his built-in persona really fits with the Grinch as a role...

Has become one of my all time favorite movies. The sets are beautifully made and Jim Carrey was made for the role. I have seen this movie every Christmas for the past decade and I have no intention of changing that
