If you had to buy just ONE Jim Carrey DVD, which would it be?
If it came down to buying just one DVD with Jim Carrey, which would it be?
For me? Dumb and Dumber which, ironically, is the only Jim Carrey DVD I have (at the moment).
Honorable mentions: The Truman Show and Liar, Liar

Re: If you had to buy just ONE Jim Carrey DVD, which would it be?
I love many of Jim Carrey's movies. Some of them are great. But since the question is about purchasing/owning, I'd have to say that a flat-out comedy is probably going to get more viewings over time than one of his more dramatic, artful movies.
With that in mind, I think I have to go with The Cable Guy. I really wish it'd get a special edition -- I'd love a Stiller/Apatow commentary and the deleted scenes -- but I'm not holding my breath.

Liar Liar, with Cable Guy and Truman Show being close runners-up

Not a huge Carrey fan. From the ones I've seen, I'd probably go with Bruce Almighty or The Mask.

"The Mask" is the ONLY Jim Carey movie I own. Can't seem to make it through too many others.

Considering I have only purchased The Mask it was kind of an easy vote 
I did also enjoy Cable Guy but for the most part I dislike Carrey.

Tough call between Truman & Sunshine. I'd give the edge to Truman for a higher rewatchability factor even though Sunshine is a better film. I'm not a fan of Carrey's comedies.

My favorite Jim Carrey movie is Dumb & Dumber and it's the only one of his movies I do own.

I went with The Majestic. Dumb & Dumber is a classic and it was really a tough call. I actually flipped a coin to see what one to pick. There are a lot of good ones on that list.

I don't like any of his comedy films that much, so Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind here, followed closely by The Truman Show. Still haven't seen a few of the ones on the list though.

I think Eternal Sunshine is the best performance I've ever seen by Jim Carrey, though I don't own it.

For the most part I find Carrey one dimensional, and he gets old fast. I do watch regularly "The Mask", and "Fun with Dick and Jane", because I love Teo Leone.

Had Batman Forever not been a choice, I'd have gone with Me, Myself & Irene. Those are really the only ones I like enough to want to own. Truman Show is interesting, but not something I'm likely to re-watch.
