Top 5(ish) Jim Carrey Movies

This was a really tough one to do since there are a lot of these, but I didn’t want to make it a top 10 list by adding movies that are well-known just to add them. I will give an honorable mention to Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind even though I haven’t seen it because I hear it’s really good. I will also give an honorable mention to The Cable Guy because I always liked when it came on TV as a kid (although I can’t remember much about it). I will not be putting A Series of Unfortunate Events or Sonic on here because I haven’t seen them, but I assume I won’t like them (because Olaf is creepy and Sonic probably still sucked plot-wise).

5. A three-way tie, because they're somewhat related: A) Horton Hears a Who – Great character interaction between him and Steve Carrell B) How the Grinch Stole Christmas a.k.a. The Grinch 2000 – That’s right, I liked it, fuck you. C) Batman Forever – The best part is at the end where he thinks he’s Batman, but he made for a decent Edward Nigma the whole way through.

4. Bruce Almighty – People like to talk about the part where he makes the moon bigger, but the part where he’s reading all the prayer emails is really what stuck with me. Morgan Freeman is God, who is testing him to see if he can do better (as opposed to giving Steve Carrell’s character Noah's task in the sequel).

3. Fun with Dick and Jane – I watched this with one of my roommates in college and had a blast with it. The scene where he’s drunk in the bar and the heist are great. Tea Leoni and Alec Baldwin are also in it.

2. Liar, Liar – Achievement Hunter referenced the “I’m kicking my ass!” scene, and I recently saw a WatchMojo video about the Top 10 freak-outs which included trying Jim Carrey's character to say the pen is anything but blue. Plus, a kid wishing their parent wouldn’t lie to them is relatable to everyone, I think. As a compulsive liar forced to tell the truth, Jim showcases a lot of his spastic skills here.

1. The Truman Show – This and Liar, Liar are what made me want to make this list in the first place. I think I watched it in school, probably for a media studies course in college or in high school for some reason. I loved the ending where he says his catchphrase, takes a bow, and walks through the door to his freedom. And yes I did also see the video done by The Take on it.
