Dr. Seuss’ How The Grinch Stole Christmas! (1966)


Dr. Seuss + Chuck Jones + Boris Karloff = Pure Win. This undeniable children’s classic remains just as relevant every year. It’s one of those specials where you know what’s coming and you can anticipate every move, but it doesn't detract from its enjoyment at all. I forgot how much of The Nightmare Before Christmas was inspired by this. Seuss’ rhymes are fun and the moral of the story (Christmas is in our hearts, blah blah blah) is as pertinent as it was 45 years ago.
