The great Jim Carrey has been performing on television and in the movies since he was 18 years old. His acting has spanned almost three decades now...three distinct decades. In the 80s he was still young, doing either small movies or small parts including a vampire movie. It's basically a forgotten or never realized time in his career for most of us. Then comes the 90s, or the golden years, for Mr. Carrey. Four years on In Living Color in addition to all of his best movies, in my opinion. He did both Ace Venturas, The Mask, Dumb and Dumber, Cable Guy, Liar Liar, Truman Show and Me, Myself and Irene (released in 2000, but made in 1999). Then came the 2000s where he put out such hits as Bruce Almighty, Lemony Snicket, Number 23, The Grinch and Fun With Dick and Jane. I am hoping that 2009 releases of Yes Man, I Love You Phillip Morris and Ripley's turn things around at the tail end of this decade.
Anyway here are my top 10 Jim Carrey movies...(note: I have not seen Eternal Sunshine)
1. Dumb and Dumber
2. The Cable Guy
3. Ace Ventura:
When Nature Calls
4. The Truman Show
5. Liar Liar
6. The Mask
7. The Majestic
8. Ace Ventura: Pet Detective
9. Me, Myself and Irene
10. Bruce Almighty
