The Top Ten
1 Dumb and Dumber

I love this movie! It made me laugh from beginning to end. It made me a Jim Carrey #1 fan for life! One of my favorite parts is when Lloyd and Harry accidentally kill Mentalino, and as he is dying, they are pointing and laughing. There are too many great scenes to count!

Once you have seen this movie, you will never be the same. It gives you a new perspective on life. Thank you, Jim, thank you.

I have seen more funny people, but I haven't seen anyone as funny as Jim Carrey. Whenever I just look at the face of Jim Carrey, I start laughing. This movie made me laugh from start to end, and even now, when I recall scenes from this movie, it makes me laugh. Jim Carrey is the king of comedy.

2 Liar Liar

The most epic movie ever watched! I was laughing like crazy. It's one of my favorite movies. Jim Carrey, you're just awesome and the best actor amongst all of them!

The best father-and-son relationship is shown in this movie. The director of this movie used all of Jim Carrey's abilities to deliver such a hilarious comedy movie.

Jim Carrey's acting is awesome. He makes me laugh so much with his awesome expressions.

3 Bruce Almighty

It has a really strong message in the end and is way better than that Evan Almighty movie. Jim Carrey is my favorite actor, and Morgan Freeman, the inspirational actor, as God was cool. If you are a Christian, don't get offended by this. This movie holds a strong message that especially you guys can understand.

Well, here it is, the world's #1 movie. Great to see it here. Hopefully, it can get to the top. Dumb and Dumber rubbish should be lower. I am sure that it can go.

This is the greatest movie that I have ever seen in my life. Great soundtrack, great script, perfect actors and actresses. A must-watch experience.

4 The Truman Show

It is a great drama about Jim Carrey. Very well done and very creative. Being a major fan of Jim Carrey, I loved this movie and could actually feel the character's emotions. This movie proves that Jim doesn't always have to be a slapstick comedian and can be a serious actor when he wants to.

This movie is Carrey's underrated masterpiece, as it's not a comedy, a genre he is usually associated with. People aren't used to it as they probably watched Carrey's comedies more than other genres he plays in. This sci-fi drama is definitely one of his best works.

5 The Mask

One thing about Jim Carrey is that he is best described in the comedy genre as a real-life cartoon character. This movie literally takes him and turns him into a real-life cartoon character! He is amazing!

I almost died laughing from the movies Ace Ventura, Bruce Almighty, and The Mask! Jim Carrey is the best actor of all time. He can make everyone laugh. He really has a big talent!

The funniest movie I have seen in a long time. Jim Carrey just has the face and the voice for almost any comedic movie. Definitely a must-see.

6 Ace Ventura: Pet Detective

This was where it all started for Jim. It is his masterpiece. No other movie can compare to the beauty and freedom of his acting in this movie (except maybe The Mask), and it blows my mind that this isn't ranked #1. This film is, in essence, Jim Carrey.

This movie is definitely the best of the Ace Ventura series. It is hilarious and quite original for the time. Of course, Jim Carrey is hilarious as he always is.

This performance is comparable to any of Charlie Chaplin's performances.

7 Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind

Firstly, how is this only number 9? Secondly, here is a list of reasons why Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is a 21st-century classic:

1. Jim Carrey's serious acting: Sure, movies like Ace Ventura, The Mask, and Dumb and Dumber are fun to watch, but Eternal Sunshine shows an emotional side of Carrey that we can sympathize with as we see him reflect on his life and his decision to forget his girlfriend.

2. Sentimentality: While The Truman Show made Carrey a protagonist worth rooting for, Eternal Sunshine places him in the shoes of a man regretful of his decision to discard his past and desperately looking to start over for the life he had.

3. The narrative: SPOILER ALERT! Eternal Sunshine begins with the ending and flashes back to Carrey having his memories erased, an excellent way of telling the film's story from his point of view. Simply put, this is a beautifully made look at both how chronology can be used to mentally travel back in time and how one should always think twice before choosing to forget a life that offered happiness.

8 Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls

Best comedy ever made! Jim's way of making people laugh is like no other comedian's. I mean, have you ever seen anyone else able to act abnormal and do it so perfectly without a single mistake? He is simply the best. I hope to see more work from him soon!

The most comedic movie in the world. Jim Carrey is the best ever as always. He makes us laugh very much through his acting and expression.

I like this movie very much. Anytime I am sad and I remember this movie, I feel relieved. Jim Carrey, you are the best comedian I have ever known on this planet. God bless you.

9 The Cable Guy

One of my favorite movies of all time, I can quote this movie almost in its entirety. It is incredibly underrated. It's a shame that people were so off-put by his darker role in this movie. I literally cry with laughter every time the Medieval Times part comes on. Chip Douglas/Ernie Douglas/Larry Tate/Whatever the Cable Guy's Name Is is one of my favorite characters in any comedy movie.

I really wish more people saw this movie and appreciated it. It's Jim Carrey's black sheep for sure, but just an amazingly funny movie. Oh, not to mention, Jack Black, Ben Stiller, and a few other well-known actors made cameos in it, plus it was written and directed by Ben Stiller.

10 Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas

I absolutely love this fun, enjoyable Christmas movie. I love Dr. Seuss and Jim Carrey as the Grinch. Jim Carrey did a wonderful job in my all-time favorite movie.

My family saw this movie the night before I was born. We're going to see the next Jim Carrey film (Sonic the Hedgehog) for my birthday this year.

The hilarious body language of Jim Carrey as the Grinch is unbelievable. Those who haven't seen the film should watch it to be swept away by his comic performance.

The Contenders
11 Yes Man

It is an awesome movie. I have seen it 13 times. It is really good. I love his work, which he does by making people laugh.

I have seen the following movies by now:

- Liar Liar
- Bruce Almighty
- Yes Man
- Ace Ventura: Pet Detective
- Dumb and Dumber
- The Mask

Must watch the above movies. All are awesome.

While it might not be Jim Carrey's funniest performance, I truly think this movie has an inspiring message that really connects with me. Personally, it's my number one.

You can learn so much from this film. It's a very inspirational movie. It really teaches us the value of our lives in an entertaining way, of course, thanks to Mr. Jim Carrey. Love this guy!

12 Man on the Moon

As a big fan of Andy Kaufman, I think this movie is great, and Jim Carrey's portrayal perfectly captures the essence of the story!

Perhaps his best dramatic role.

13 Batman Forever

Jim Carrey is my favorite comedian, so when I heard he was in this Batman movie, I was interested. After I watched it, I became a Riddler fan and Batman fan. Jim Carrey, thanks for introducing me to the superhero world because if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be the superhero fanboy I am today.

Overall, I am a Batman fan, but before, I wasn't crazy about superheroes. Yeah, this movie is corny and a little silly, but hey, with Jim Carrey, everything is goofy and family-friendly. Like I said, if it wasn't for Jim Carrey's performance as the Riddler, I wouldn't be the Batman and overall superhero fan I am today.

14 Me, Myself & Irene

Raunchy, absolute hilarity from beginning to end. Only Jim could've pulled this off with "watch it over and over" syndrome.

The best Jim Carrey film I have ever seen. Can't stop watching it. Jim Carrey, you indeed are the best actor I know.

Without a doubt, it's the best Jim Carrey film I've ever seen. Jim, you're the boss, man!

15 Sonic the Hedgehog

He is a perfect choice for Robotnik.

16 Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events

I don't care about the Netflix version. I watched this one when I was younger. It was the original. Yeah, Count Olaf is a dark character, but the adults are really dumb. "Not 'insert disguise,' it's Count Olaf." That's also a gag, so they put three gags into one movie.

He played a really sinister villain. A really interesting take on a villain. Gotta admit, if a movie has Jim in it, you've got to love it!

Face it. With Meryl Streep, he was the only worthy actor in that movie. Who could have been so much better.

17 The Sex and Violence Family Hour
18 The Number 23

This movie is really hard to get into. It is slow, but if you really like stories that revolve around conspiracies and want to see a dramatic Carrey, then this movie is recommended. Otherwise, you might be bored to tears.

The best thriller movie I've ever watched. Jim Carrey, hats off, best actor in the world. I loved your role as a detective in the novel.

Jim Carrey as never seen before. Once more, he proves his acting abilities.

19 Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who!

Jim Carrey is excellent in this movie, and it's one of my favorite books by Dr. Seuss. This is an enjoyable, family-friendly movie, and I love it too. Jim Carrey is a wonderful actor and comedian.

20 Kick-Ass 2

A badass character performed brilliantly by Carrey. Awesome movie.

21 Mr. Popper's Penguins
22 Sonic the Hedgehog 2
23 A Christmas Carol

I really love this movie and even have the book and the CD of this wonderful holiday movie. Jim Carrey did a fantastic job in this movie with his awesome sense of humor.

24 The Majestic

Jim is at the top of the list when it comes to comedy, but my favorite is The Majestic. His performance before the McCarthy panel was one of the most moving performances I've ever witnessed.

Great movie and storyline. Jim can also do drama!

25 Once Bitten

This is the funniest stuff, even for his early days. This movie is a classic and one of his perfect roles.
