The Jean Shepherd adaptations from PBS in the '70s were much better

I remember in the 90s when Turner began his campaign to manufacture this as a classic (24 hr marathons, etc). I wondered if he would succeed.

Jesus Christ….what is wrong with you people?

The original animated Grinch is awesome and Jim Carrey is the only person alive who could have pulled off a live version of the Grinch and he nailed it. Movie is awesome.

Now this is where I make my stand. Jim Carrey's Grinch is great! That's my favorite Grinch movie.

Yes but the success of The Grinch led to Mike Myers' Cat in the Hat being made and holy frick that movie was awful.

I wouldn't say 'worst', but it is far from my favorite. Merry Christmas!

It's bad, but I think Jack Frost may have been the worst.

And the first one is a divorce/custody movie more than it is a Christmas movie.

The marathon made this movie a not to watch movie for me. Just way too much overexposure.
