Top 5 Thursday: Hilarious Jim Carrey Moments

Okay, watching him is exhausting. But he is so hilarious. And there are many funny comedies to proof it. It’s probably really hard to keep a straight face while working with Carrey. I listed my favorite and most hilarious moments ever.

5. Harry Potter Party (“Yes Man”)
There might be more hilarious moments in this movie, but this always cracks me up (and no one else…). Jim Carrey’s character has to say yes to everything and he also has to attend a Harry Potter themed costume party. Because there was only a child costume available, the costume he wears is ridiculously small and that tie…. That tie does it!


4. Cuban Pete (“The Mask”)
“The Mask” was made for Jim Carrey. At the point where he is about to be arrested, Carrey’s character turns into Cuban Pete and gets the entire police force to join him in his rumba dance.


3. Medieval Times (“The Cable Guy”)
It’s a dark comedy, darker then we are used to from Carrey. And his characters I good willed, but buts. And this scene in a medieval themed restaurant proofs that. He goes totally mental in a sword fight.


2. Sliding Door Theory (“Ace Ventura”)
In order to proof a theory, Carrey’s character Ace Ventura, slides a door open and closed and starts yelling. You have to see it to believe it. It’s HI-LA-RI-OUS!


1. Playing Crazy (“Ace Ventura”)
Ace goes undercover as a crazy guy, while investigating a sanitarium. This is epic, wearing a tutu at all times.

Top 5 Thursday: Cameron Diaz Movies

I’ve always liked Cameron Diaz, she is such a beautiful actress and she can act! Both serious as comedic. She has made some great films and here are my favorites.
 
5. Shrek
I have to admit that I didn’t like “Shrek” from the beginning. After watching it another time I came to appreciate it more. 
 
 
4. The Mask
Cameron’s first movie. “The Mask” is so silly, but so much fun. Jim Carrey is just awesome! By the way, Cameron Diaz has a thing from green guys, are you seeing the pattern?
 
 
3. Gangs of New York
A fantastic film by Martin Scorsese. Brilliant performance by Daniel Day-Lewis.
 
 
2. Being John Malkovich
Such an original movie, because it’s so weird. Cameron Diaz looks crazy, Catherine Keener is great and you know how much I love John Cusack.
 

1. There is Something About Mary
Definitely one of the best comedies ever made and Cameron Diaz is one we can thank for that. She is so charming and subtle with her humour. The Farrely brothers really did their best work here.
