what is Jim Carey's best film

The Bollox

I personally think The Cable Guy is but a lot of ppl disagree

garred

Suppose being a comedian Me, Myself Irene was probably his best but in a "serious" role I thought he was very good in the truman show

Hugh Hefner

I spose the best film he was in was Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind. Whether that was his best performance is up for bebate. I liked him in The Mask (ah childhood memories), The Truman Show and The Cable Guy.

sailorboy

i love cable guy and dumb and dumber
that spotless mind was absolute boll_oxxx

zod

dumb and dumber

sailorboy

id say he could actualy be a good serious actor after the truman show he impressed me a lot
but with his zany ways the comedy films stand out more.
i never saw the mask i must have a look at it

l

D-Generate

Cable Guy

DEmeant0r

I'm gonna have to go with with dumb and dumber

Fabritzo

Pet detective 1

Creature

Man on the Moon. Really enjoyed that film.

sailorboy

i couldnt belive the solid perfomance courtney love gave.
the soundtrack is one of my favorites

Basq

Depends..

Performance-wise: it's 'Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind' or 'The Truman Show'
Comedy-wise: 'Dumb and Dumber' or 'The Cable Guy'

TOPDAWG

Mans a genius. he was class in "lemony snickets"
i honestly couldnt pick his best tho. 2 words to describe him: LEG and END.

The Bollox

:eek: OMFG! no-one mentioned my second fav film of his, the third being Me, Myself And Erine, but no-one mentioned Liar Liar, that film was amazing!

Meh! Liar Liar was pretty good, but got too sweet and soppy near the end!

'Me, Myself And Irene' was an absolute turd, to the highest degree, in my opinion!

Makaveli

Dumb and Dumber or ESOTM.
Cable Guy was awful I thought and so was Liar Liar.

get outta my shop!!! its a cinematic masterpiece,a cultural event, a moving tale of 3 young boys searching for their father caught up in (wait for this, this is the good bit) a "SERIES OF MISFORTUNATE EVENTS!!" (ha ha geddit!? my work here is done)

Creamy Goodness

the grinch
eternal sunshine....
cable guy
truman show

lemony snickets



am i missing anything?

i havnt seen the grinch or lemony snickets but i can say i enjoyed all the rest of them. me myself and irene probably the most but saying that i can think of so many great things about the others. ie the cable guy when he kicks the crap out of owen wilson in the toilet and he does the "skip-a-do-bop" thingy. hahahaha


EDIT:bruce almighty and batman forever! knew o forgot something butthere has to be others.

The General

Jim carrey is a good actor but ive not seen one of his films that i would watch again. Most are good but i wouldnt buy any on DVD for my collection.
Also the cable guy is probably one of the worst films ive ever seen!

RE*AC*TOR

Dumb And Dumber easily.

Lafortezza

Dumb and Dumber for teh funneh.
Eternal Sunshine for teh non-funneh.

Me, myself and Irene made me laugh the first time I saw it, wasn't that great on 2nd viewing.

reece

's gotta be 'Man on the moon' all the way !!!!!

Bard

From my own point of view, I'd definitely have to say 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind', although unfortunately there's surprisingly few good Carrey movies to choose from. He's been around long enough to have done much more. Sure, look at Colin Farrell ... ... ...

weemcd

Dumb and Dumber

byte

Dumb and Dumber

Haven't watched Eternal Sunshine... yet

Winning Hand

Eternal Sunshine

Rcuomo

in a comedic role i'd say its a tie between dumb and dumber & ace ventura pet detective, both those films are classics
lloyd christmas - what a character!

there's so many great lines in ace ventura, i could watch that so many times -
'be sure that you do, if i had been drinking out of it, i might have been killed'

Giblet

The cable guy, it's just perfect.

fade2black

Man on the Moon and Me myself and Irene. Anyone who things "Irene" is turd should really sit themselves down and watch it again. (And again)

LoneGunM@n

My personal fav is Ace Venture 1 ... that being said all his comedies have parts that leave me aching with laughter with tears pouring down my face!
(e.g.) Ace Ventura 2 - Thrown around jeep on flat road [comic genius]

koneko

Man On The Moon, Eternal Sunshine and Cable Guy.

Elessar

Dumb and Dumber.

I mean come on. One of the funniest films I've ever seen. And I keep watching it. But really only for Careys performance. God he's funny.

I am MAN

I'm quite suprised at how little Ace Ventura 1+2 are been mentioned.

To be honest im a fan of everything he was in pretty much but if I really had to pick a fav it would be Ace Ventura 1+2

charba

two of the worst films ever were dumb and dumber and the cable guy!
the best Jim Carey has to be me myself and Irene, that was brilliant. Liar, Liar was ok, died towards the end as already metinoned and haven't seen enough of the others to make a judegement but what I did see of pet detective I liked.

Spacedog

he can make you laugh with just a frantic flayling of his limbs!

Mine's 'Man on the Moon'

The Majestic , iv rented it about 3 times but never get round to watching it. supposed to be very good.
Earth girls are easy , never seen it tho all i know is he's a red alien or something in it.

kirn

yeah, um...
i actually realised reading this thread how many jim carrey films i like.
except for liminy snicket... eurrrghhh.... *shudder*

liar liar - the courtroom scene is ****ing hilarious
me, myself and irene - hmmn.. ok film, but carrey is great, especially the cock in the car scene.. hah!
Ace ventura - SO over the top its brilliant.
dumb and dumber - class, possibly my fav comedy.
eternal sunshine, man on the moon, truman show - great, emotional understated performances. considering carrey and his madcap ability for physical comedy, its particularly impressive.

(the grinch- meh'
Magestic -meh'
cable guy - meh'
ace 2 - meh'
mask - meh'
EGAE - s h i t. )

rubadub

truman show
cable guy

Beekay

My favorites are dumb and dumber and Ace Ventura 1.
No one has mentioned the batman film he was in(was it 3 or 4) .The film was terrible but he was the perfect actor for the riddler

djpaul

Bruce almighty, Liar Liar, Lemony Snicket- Out Later year see jim as...........


The Six Million Dollar Man! :cool:

Reef

One of my favourite actors if not my favourite....

Dumb & Dumber is one of my all-time favourites...I must have seen it around 15 times over the years and I'm still in stitches, absolutely priceless! (That scene with the chilli springs to mind!...And the Seabass scenes...lol)

Ace Ventura 2...Classic!

In his more serious films he was fantastic in the Truman Show & Eternal Sunshine.
