Top 5 Thursday: Jim Carrey Movies

One of the funniest actors in the business. He has made some great movies, memorables ones. With Kick-Ass 2 coming up I thought it would be great to sum up his five best movies in my opinion.

5. Dumb and Dumber
Rewatched it just recently and I remember actually seeing this one in theatres. What a bunch of idiots, but it's such a good time watching. Every time.

4. The Cable Guy
An obsession gone bad. Jim Carrey is just freaky in this movie. I love that scene where he and Matthew Broderick are at that medieval dinnershow. Just when you thought he couldn’t get any weirder.

3. Liar, Liar
A movie I can watch over and over again and never get tired of and still laugh. I think it’s impossible to work opposite Jim, because he can’t take anything seriously. The bloopers at the end are worth watching as well.

2. The Truman Show
A more serious movie, but the concept and idea behind it is just genius. I love this movie. That part where it’s raining, just on him, is unforgettable.

1. Ace Venture: Pet Detective
This is without a doubt the most hilarious movie he made. The walk, the talk, the hair, Ace Ventura is one goofy character. Remember the scene in the nuthouse, where he’s wearing the tutu?

They Almost Made the Top 5: The Mask, Lemony Snicket’s a Series of Unfortunate Events, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Bruce Almigty, Yes Man, Man on the Moon
