How The Grinch Stole Christmas (2000)
"You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch!"
This live-action remake of the cartoon version of the tale adapted from Dr. Seuss' book of the same name (whew-- say that five times fast!) stars Jim Carrey as The Grinch. The makeup is pretty amazing; I sometimes forget it's him under all that nasty green fur. Gotta love all those "who's" in Whoville, especially little Cindy Lou with her big giant teeth that barely fit in her tiny little mouth. My favorite part? After the Mayor accidentally gets shaved down the middle of his head, his crazy copy-cat assistant shaves his head the same way. Makes me laugh. Out loud. Not sure why exactly. But it does.
Soundtrack Highlights: "Where are you Christmas?" and "Christmas is Going to the Dogs"--oh and "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" of course!
My favorite quotes:
- Grinch: "Blast this music. It's joyful AND triumphant."
- Grinch: "Are you having a holly jolly Christmas?"
- Grinch: "Oh the Who-manity!"
- Martha May Whovier: "Did I have a crush on the Grinch? Of course not!" Cindy Lou Who: "Uh... I didn't ask you that."
