Best Jim Carrey movie?
 

I would say The Mask is easily #1, although I enjoyed Pet Detective and Cable guy as well.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is the best, and the funniest was Liar Liar. Truman Show is the second best.

^^ This.
"Me myself and Irene" comes a close second in terms of being funny.

^ And this.

Dumb and Dumber, for sure.

Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind. After that I'd put Truman Show & Man On The Moon. I'm not really a fan of his comedy, but when he takes on more cerebral roles, I'm completely sold.

I've only seen him in The Mask, Ace Venturas, Batman Forever, A Christmas Carol, The Grinch and Mr Poppers Penguin. All of em good.

I'd pick 3 best: The Mask, Ace Venturas and A Christmas Carol.

I actually love Jim Carrey in I Love You Phillip Morris.

I need to rewatch Eternal Sunshine...everyone seems to love it and I don't remember being overly impressed.

Truman Show and Liar Liar for me.

I liked Dumb And Dumber, but it worked more because of everyone else involved. I couldn't stand Liar Liar because Carrey way overdid it on his facial mugging.

Carrey did OK on The Truman Show, but the movie's overall concept didn't do it for me. Once Truman found out that his life was a scripted television show, everything got anticlimactic from that point.

Dumb & Dumber is easily # 1 for me.

Just to be upfront, I've always found Carrey *supremely* overrated. Not that I don't enjoy his work, or some of it, but at one point he was the highest-paid star in the business and most of it came from making his ass talk to Tone Loc.

That said, the first Ace Ventura movie is probably my favorite movie of his; a lot of his later comedies were just variations of similar themes and gags, much like Robin Williams's career. I didn't like the sequel, but the first one still makes me laugh more than any of his other work. I enjoy it a lot.

I also really enjoyed "Man on the Moon", because it was one of the first times we as an audience really got to see him take on a more dramatic role, and I was very impressed. He proved to me he wasn't just a one-trick pony who made funny faces, and he really put a lot into it. It under-performed, but I think it gets better on repeat viewings.

This is odd to me: I watched "The Mask" several times, and for some reason it left no impression. I wanted to like it, and I can't say I disliked it. But it didn't hold my interest; I even rewound it (ahhhh, VHS tapes) and watched it again right after I watched it the first time, and I retained no memory of it. And I've seen it several times since; can't tell you anything about it. I can quote lines from "Some Kind of Wonderful", the John Hughes movie nobody saw because Molly Ringwald wasn't in it (but Elias Koteas WAS, so win), but I can't tell you about "The Mask". I can't explain it.

Me too, it's easily one of his funniest movies.

Ace Ventura and Me, Myself and Irene from his 'older' stuff. I did enjoy Mr Poppers Penguins which was more recent, and then his brief role in Kick Ass 2 was something I've not seen him do before but I enjoyed!

Ace Ventura Pet Detective, Dumb and Dumber, Me myself and Irene.

The Mask, Ace ventura 1&2 and dumb & dumber!

The truman show

Say what you will but despite its flaws I enjoyed tihs popcorn film with my favorite Bat characters Dick Grayson and Edward Nygma.

I actually quite enjoy Batman Forever as well, but The Truman Show is my favorite of his.

I like that one where he makes all them faces... and The Majestic.

Seriously, I think Bruce Almighty was my favorite of his comedies that I'm familliar with.

Anything but the grinch.

the Majestic, or the Truman Show... Not the funny JC we all know, but Majestic is awesome!

Certainly not Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls :)

Dumb & Dumber - No question!

Ace Ventura and The Mask are also classics but I highly recommend a more obscure title Earth Girls are Easy from 1988 to anyone (probably most of you) who have never seen it. It stars Jim Carrey, Damon Wayans, Jeff Goldblum, and Geena Davis and is friggen hysterical!

^^ haven't heard of that one but i've seen him in a really early role called once bitten. When he was bitten by a vampire and slowly starts becoming one. Not that good but it's mildly amusing.

I would agree with you on Once Bitten. I think that one's a couple years older yet. It's mildly entertaining but not all that good. The premise is funny though: Finding a male virgin is 1980's LA is damn near impossible!! :lol:

The shower scene in Once Bitten is ultra hilarious! :lol:

Yeah one of those scenes that makes the movie a bit better than it should be.

Holy sh*t, I was gonna say something about that one as a joke, but that movie really is great. I don't think it'll be one anyone's "Best of Jim Carrey" list but it's great all on its own.

Not the least of those reasons are a still-hot Julie Brown, and Geena Davis in her prime in a tiny pink "I-Can-See-Her-Nipples" bikini. I have a thing for chicks hovering around 6'.

But anyways aside from that it really *is* a great movie, an underrated 80s comedy classic. Everyone should check it out, I'm amazed it's so under the radar considering how funny it is and the all-star cast. It was like 5 minutes before half of them got famous, yet gets no recognition for helping launch any of them.

Dumb and Dumber!

My favorite two funny movies of all time are #1 Dumb and Dumber and #2 Liar, Liar. I sense a pattern there. :twink:

I put The Truman Show in my Netflix Queue. I remember when it came out all tohse years ago and for sometime after thinknig it was a biopic on Harry Truman. If its :trolleye: then Gwydion will owe me a months fee on Netflix...or not.:P

1.Batman Forever
2. The Grinch
3. Bruce Almighty
All othersare okay nothing bad.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is the best, and the funniest was dumb and dumber.

This is what I get for admitting I like Batman Forever, lol. Hope you enjoy(ed) it!

I'd forgotten about The Majestic. I really liked that one too.
