One of the goofiest performers in cinema, Jim Carrey's funniest performances don't necessarily line up with his funniest movies. After all, an actor with less-than-ideal material can only make it so good. And yet, Carrey is behind some of the best and most recognizable comedic efforts of the past thirty years or so. Even uneven stuff like the feature-length version of How the Grinch Stole Christmas rises on the strength of his talent.
The Cable Guy PG-13 Comedy Satire Release Date June 14, 1996 Cast Jim Carrey , Matthew Broderick , Leslie Mann , Jack Black , George Segal Runtime 96 minutes Writers Lou Holtz Rent on Apple 8 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' Director: Michel Gondry The 2004 comedy-drama Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is largely about a breakup. Specifically, Clementine erases all of her memories of her ex, Joel , and when Joel finds out, he decides to do the same. But he has second thoughts in the middle of the procedure, leading to a trippy adventure into his mind as he tries to cling to a romance that failed.
Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events PG Adventure Comedy Family Fantasy Release Date December 16, 2004 Cast Jim Carrey , Liam Aiken , Emily Browning , Kara Hoffman , Shelby Hoffman , Jude Law Runtime 107 Writers Robert Gordon , Daniel Handler Watch on Amazon 5 'The Mask' Director: Chuck Russell 1994 was a huge year for Jim Carrey, and The Mask is one of the reasons why. Carrey excels as Stanley Ipkis, a bank teller who happens upon an ancient mask that endows him with incredible powers. This extremely dull-looking garment turns its wearer into a live-action cartoon character, which is obviously the perfect vehicle for Carrey. The special effects aren't bad for the 90s, either.
Liar Liaris the epitome of a Jim Carrey movie: silly, exaggerated, loud, and endlessly entertaining. Fletcher quickly loses his composure once he realizes he can't lie, and it's a lot of fun to watch him struggle for control over his own body. Carrey overdoes it sometimes, but this is the movie to do just that, and boy, does he make the most out of the gimmick. The film lives and dies with Carrey, and his hectic, often outright deranged energy makes for a very memorable performance.
