I can’t see anyone else playing that character like he did.

My personal favorite Jim Carrey movie is "Me, Myself and Irene".


He's not really over the top with his antics as much in that one as he is in many of his movies.

You’re drunk.
Lloyd Christmas is his best role.

I’d even accept
Cable Guy

Truman Show was Oscar worthy.

Not even close. The original with Boris Karloff is vastly superior. There is a new animated show w/ Benedict Cumberbatch that is probably better too.

He was best in Truman show. He was most “himself” in Ace movies… annoying at times, hilarious at times.

Pet Detective 2 Rhino birth seen is GOAT lol for me but I’m a simple man,

Nailed Kaufman and his mannerisms. Sadly, the movie was a snooze-fest.

Carrey is an outstanding actor. It's hard to choose his best performance.

We were so spoiled with comedy in the late 90s to 2010 or so.

So many of those comedy titans are barely relevant anymore.

His two most underrated movies are "The Majestic" and "The Number 23"

It really is a shame he's never won an Oscar.

Cable Guy was pretty cool and tailored for Carrey

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was his best.

His best comic performance was Liar Liar.

People are naming movies they like better. Or characters they liked better.

But you are correct. Watching him in the Grinch was watching a person do what only they could do.

I guess we are in the minority but I have to agree. Ron Howard said that Carrey ad libbed the majority of the movie which makes it even better in my opinion

The best thing Carrey has ever done is his White, White Baby parody of Vanilla Ice on In Living Color.
