Renewed Top 10 - Jim Carrey Movies

FIRE MARSHALL BILL

Jim Carrey has had a whirlwind life during the last decade, and recently said he was considering retirement. And that... sucks. It really does. One of the GREATEST comedic actors of all time. Severely underrated. And the man of many faces, most of them his own face.

Never won an Oscar. Not even nominated. But so many Golden Globes.

If you don't think you know who Jim Carrey is, yes you do.

So let's get into it.

Top 10 Jim Carrey Movies

Special Mention: Batman Forever: I need to make this clear... I'm not a fan of this movie. But I AM a huge fan of Jim's version of The Riddler, and all the duo interactions with Tommy Lee Jones's Pepto dipped Two-Face. They seemed like they had real fun with it. And Jim nailed this over the top Riddler.

Honorable Mention 1: Number 23: Sometimes the best movies for actors come outside their comfort zone. And while this one isn't one Jim's best, it wasn't that bad. A thriller/horror/suspense film about a man obsessed with the Number 23.

Honorable Mention 2: Bruce Almighty: Bruce Almighty was a good movie. But I do feel like it wasn't as good as I was hoping it could've been.

Honorable Mention 3: How The Grinch Stole Christmas: How do you beat this version of the Grinch? Jim getting Carreyed away, narration from Anthony Hopkins, and directed by Opie Taylor himself, Ron Howard. But why didn't it make the list? Because... a different one Carrey Christmas did.

10. Me, Myself, and Irene: Jim Carrey in a movie about a man with split personalities, and both of them are Jim Carrey. The movie would be higher on this list, but I'm not the biggest Renee Zellweger fan.

9. Man On The Moon: A Biopic about legendary funny man Andy Kaufman. He NAILED it. One of the biggest snubs in Oscar history. He should've at least got nominated. Oh well... A Golden Globe works too.

8. Sonic the Hedgehog: Who else to play Eccentric Sonic villain, Dr. Robotnik? And it felt like Jim being Jim again. We should be thankful for this movie.

7. The Mask: The Rubber Faced Man playing a Rubber Faced Comicbook Anti-Hero. Definitely not as violent as the comics, but allowed Jim to be what he always has been: a Living Cartoon. And... um... Cameron Diaz. Dammit.

6. Dumb and Dumber: The on-screen chemistry between Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels is off the charts. And Jim is responsible for one of the movie iconic scenes in movie history... the Most Annoying Sound In The World... and IT WAS IMPROV.

5. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind: Would you like your mind erased? This movie tackles that. A couple has their mind erased to forget their failed relationship. And... by fate... they find each other and fall in love with each other again. One of Jim's few dramatic movies, but such a great love story. He needed to have done more.

4. A Christmas Carol: Remember I said there was a different Christmas movie on the list? It is this one. And for good reason. Aside from the Muppets, this is my favorite version of this tale. Animated... and Jim does EIGHT different voices, including Scrooge.

3. The Cable Guy: Definition of a modern day Black Comedy about a man who rejects The Cable Guy's attempt to make a friendship... so the Cable Guy starts stalking him and kidnaps his ex-girlfriend. Gave us some the greatest scenes of Jim's career.

2. Liar Liar: A boy wishes his father couldn't lie. Difficult for a Lawyer. But such a good movie. Shows Jim's ability to go outside the box, even when he is holding the box. Notable for me for my favorite Jim Carrey scene of his whole career... if you know... you know. "THE PEN IS BLUUUUUUUE! *SOBBING* THE PEN IS BLUUUUUUUE!" (close second in this movie too "Do you mind? I'm kicking my ass!")

And the Number One Jim Carrey movie is...

1.The Truman Show: A movie about a man whose whole life from birth has been broadcast as a reality show for the world to see... except he doesn't know it. A manufactured life, in a manufactured world. And the facade starts cracking. Such a great movie about someone living in a fake world learning about his own reality. I love this movie. So much.
