Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas $34

Narrated by Boris Karloff and directed by Looney Tunes legend Chuck Jones, the film tells the classic story of how the Grinch decided to pull off the heist of the century in Who-ville. A crime for the ages, the Grinch eventually faces karmic retribution for his misdeeds when he's cursed to have a conscience that makes him feel guilty. Special features haven't been confirmed for this 4K transfer, although it's likely that this version will inherit the bonus material from the standard Blu-ray released a couple of years ago.

That one had some nice extras, like audio commentary tracks, songs in the key of the Grinch, and a documentary on how the film was made.

The wonderful live-action remake starring Jim Carrey is a modern classic in its own right. It's hard to believe. it turns 25 next year, but you can get the Grinchmas 4K Edition for $21 at Amazon. Director Ron Howard's film captured all the magic of the Dr. Seuss book in a big-budget spectacle, while Carrey stole every scene he was in while wearing the infamous Grinch costume. The Grinchmas edition on sale also has a ton of extra content, as you're getting the film in a 4K format, deleted scenes, music videos, a look at how Carrey was transformed into the Grinch, and more.

There's also the 2018 version of the film done by Despicable Me studio Illumination, although this CGI-animated film doesn't have the memorable quality of the '66 or 2000 movies. Still, $19 is a pretty good deal for a 4K Blu-ray that'll keep younger members of the family glued to the TV screen. Plus, it comes with a trio of mini-movies.
