There is little doubt that one of the most successful actors of the comedic genre in recent years has been Jim Carrey. Carrey has had a slew of successful funny films, and has developed somewhat of a cult following in the process. Many people have not received Carrey's transition into more serious films so well, but I think he is a great actor and is not limited to a specific genre.
But which films have been Jim Carrey's best? Here are my personal top five favorites films in which he has starred or been featured.
The first film on this list that I will discuss is Dumb and Dumber. If you are looking for an absolutely hilarious comedy that will not require much thinking, but plenty of laughs, look no further. This very well might be his funniest film. Jeff Daniels also stars in this movie, and I have no idea where he has been since.
It goes without saying that one of the Ace Ventura movies has to be mentioned on this list. I personally liked Ace Ventura 2: When Nature Calls more. There are a few scenes in this movie that absolutely put me in stitches.
Another movie that I definitely have to include on this list is Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind. This is one of my top twenty favorite movies of all time, let alone one starring Carrey. This film is directed by Michel Gondry and also stars Kate Winslet. If you are looking to see one of best films of the romance genre the past few years, then this is it. It is amazing and yet, not cheesy at all.
Another film that definitely makes the cut for me is Yes Man. I did not know what to think about this movie and thought it would be a regurgitated version of Liar, Liar. I was quite surprised with how good this movie was. It ended up being much more than a silly comedy and one of my favorites.
No list of Jim Carrey movies would be complete without mentioning The Mask. This is Jim Carrey at his best. It also doesn't hurt that this is the movie that helped establish Cameron Diaz. She was amazing in this movie. In fact, I will go on to say that if you ask most middle aged men what movie Cameron Diaz looks the most attractive in, most of the time the answer will be The Mask. Maybe it was that red dress.
As it stands, this is my all time Jim Carrey list. I look forward to future films he puts out, regardless of the genre. - 39815
