Greetings!
So I was sorting some things on my Letterbox account the other night when I thought "why don't I make a top list of my fave Jim Carrey films" I made that exact list on my Letterboxd account, and now I make it here for you all on my blog!
I love Jim and this list was tough for me to make, and also I will only be putting one film from a series. So an example would be; Sonic 1 but not Sonic 2 (both awesome films but only one of them may enter and be listed), so enjoy!
10: Bruce Almighty
Smite me o' mighty smiter! For number 10 and the start of this list we have the Almighty one himself Bruce! A feel good comedy about a weatherman who has a very bad day and curses the lord and in response God (Morgan Freeman) gives him his powers to see how hard it is. A great comedy
9: Liar Liar
I have lost count the amount of times I have seen this over the years. I would always put it on when this would air on ITV haha. Furthermore, I grew sick of the film at one point from seeing it so much, but I love it nonetheless, it's an excellent comedy. Fletcher Reede is an attorney and habitual liar until one day his son Max makes a birthday wish for his dad to go an entire day without lying and what follows is nothing short of hilarity.
8: Sonic The Hedgehog
We all know this lil blue Hedgehog right? So imagine the surprise to hear Jim would play the infamous Dr Robotnik and boy did he pull it off and make it a memorable performance in not only this film, but also it's sequel!
7: The Grinch
For me without a shadow of a doubt this is THE GRINCH. Jim was perfect as Grinch they also expanded the story into more than like some half hour short from Dr Seuss, and it worked for me and I loved this more than any other Grinch film or portrayal that has come before or since.
6: Man On The Moon
Spectacular film and performance from Jim. This is all about the life and career of the eccentric comedian Andy Kaufman. The stories behind the scenes on set were really remarkable, and they even made a documentary on the film years later.
5: Me, Myself & Irene
From gentle to mental, meet Rhode Island state trooper Charlie Baileygates get multiple personality disorder and the comedic chaos that follows. The music and shift in personalities is so memorable and funny to me which has made this film stand out above the previous entries on this list and I have also seen it many times and laughed every single time.
4: The Mask
A timid blank clerk Stanley Ipkiss discovers a magical mask with powers and puts it on and becomes a hero from zero as his life changes because he goes a bit crazy with his powers and new-found charm and confidence and of course that eventually leads him into trouble. Another comedy classic, excellent and funny film and completely different to its comic book source material so much that it reinvents its counterpart and becomes a massive moneymaker which went onto spawn an animated show and some bad spin off films haha.
3: The Truman Show
At first glance a brilliant comedy but upon further inspection with more viewings you will see how sweet and also how thought-provoking it is. Truly an amazing film! Truman Burbank is the star of The Truman Show which is a 24/7 reality TV show without his knowledge. His entire life has been an unending soap opera for the world to consume and enjoy. Everyone he knows has been a paid actor, so what happens when he realizes things are not what they seem? Find out by watching.
2: Ace Ventura: Pet Detective
He's the best there is, well actually he's the only one there is. Meet Ace Ventura: Pet Detective who is on the case to find the missing Miami dolphin's mascot and through some capers he always ensures he gets his man, woman or beast haha. A childhood classic for me just like many of the films on this list as I grew up watching a lot of Jim because he was hilarious.
1: Dumb & Dumber
To me, this is a 5-star comedy classic, and it's also I believe the first film I ever watched with Jim in, and it's soundtrack and just overall this film always makes me laugh and quote it. Harry & Lloyd are two men whose stupidity is quite indescribable. When Mary, a beautiful woman loses an important briefcase, Lloyd tries to return it to Mary but what follows is a mad adventure to Aspen and then a battle for love.
And that concludes my list today, thanks for reading!
