Jim Carrey’s Greatest Acting Performances In Throughout His Career
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 movie that makes the cut for me is Liar, Liar. In this movie, Jim Carrey stars as a lawyer named Fletcher Reede, who has a very hard time keeping promises. After his son makes a special birthday wish, Fletcher can’t lie for 24 hours. The result is pretty hilarious.
Another movie that I will obviously include on this list is Ace Ventura. I prefer the original (Pet Detective) as opposed to the sequel (Ace Ventura 2: When Nature Calls), but you can make arguments for either film. I am also a Miami Dolphins fan, so I might be just a little biased.
It goes without saying that Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind is one of Jim Carrey’s greatest films of all time. In fact, this is probably my favorite film of his of all, and it isn’t a comedy. This movie is ranked as the number 60 best film of all time according to the Internet Movie Database.
I would hate to make a list of the best Jim Carrey movies without giving praise to one of his more recent successes, Yes Man. This movie had the makings of a Liar Liar rip-off based on the previews, but in the end, it was very much different and in my opinion, a better movie.
Another movie that certainly makes the cut for me is The Truman Show. This movie was truly before it’s time; it came out before the reality television craze hit, and had it come out now, it probably wouldn’t be as great because of the timing. This is just a great film.
I don’t know what the future holds for Jim Carrey. Will he revert to comedies, continue to pursue more serious content matter, or will he stick to children’s films as he has done in recent years? The one thing we can be sure of, is audiences will go see his movies regardless of the genre.
