How the Grinch Stole Christmas 2000
Carey’s masterpiece! The commitment he made just to get into prosthetics and makeup shows. The set design seems to be very close to the renderings of Dr. Suess himself.

The Silence of the Lambs 1991

There was such a closeup intensity within each scene of expertly crafted dialogue. The way the 2 stars, Jodie and Anthony, got inside each other’s heads jumped from offputting cringeworthiness, to brash and blush worthy, to almost endearing in a sick and demented way as they both build their sick relationship while…
