My Top Five Favorite Jim Carrey Movies

One of the funniest actors of today's generation of movies is Jim Carrey. Over the years, his career has expanded and he is no longer limited to comedies, which is a great thing. Carrey happens to be a very talented actor, regardless of the genre of film he is working in.
Let's take a look at some of Jim Carrey's greatest movies in recent memory.
The first film on this list that I will discuss is Dumb and Dumber. If you are looking for an absolutely hilarious comedy that will not require much thinking, but plenty of laughs, look no further. This very well might be his funniest film. Jeff Daniels also stars in this movie, and I have no idea where he has been since.
It goes without saying that one of the Ace Ventura movies has to be mentioned on this list. I personally liked Ace Ventura 2: When Nature Calls more. There are a few scenes in this movie that absolutely put me in stitches.
Another movie that I definitely have to include on this list is Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind. This is one of my top twenty favorite movies of all time, let alone one starring Carrey. This film is directed by Michel Gondry and also stars Kate Winslet. If you are looking to see one of best films of the romance genre the past few years, then this is it. It is amazing and yet, not cheesy at all.
Me, Myself and Irene was just an impressive role for Jim Carrey. He managed to pull off two completely different personalities in this film while having both characters be hilarious in their own way. This movie also stars Rene Zelwegger. The scene with the cow in the middle of the road is tough to watch, but really funny.
No list of Jim Carrey movies would be complete without mentioning The Mask. This is Jim Carrey at his best. It also doesn't hurt that this is the movie that helped establish Cameron Diaz. She was amazing in this movie. In fact, I will go on to say that if you ask most middle aged men what movie Cameron Diaz looks the most attractive in, most of the time the answer will be The Mask. Maybe it was that red dress.
