25 Best Christmas Films

20) HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS

Director: Ron Howard

Actors: Jim Carrey, Molly Shannon, Taylor Momsen, 

Jeffrey Tambor, Christine Baranski, Bill Irwin, Clint Howard

Year: 2000

Although he's quite frightening, Jim Carrey masterfully perfects the character of 'The Grinch'. It was hard to imagine how this film would turn out (going from a classic book to a classic cartoon to live action), but director Ron Howard pulled it off. And how he turned a Dr. Seuss book into a full-length movie is beyond me. It's a classic story and it's very enjoyable, so try and catch it this holiday season.

Year: 1983

Synopsis: A man is fired from his job and stays home with the kids while his wife goes back to work.

Michael Keaton (no relation to Diane) is best known for his roles as serious Bruce Wayne in "Batman" and "Batman Returns", but he has a silly side too. In "Mr. Mom" he plays a father trying to be a good stay-at-home dad, with funny results.
