While not my FAVORITE Jim Carrey film, Man on the Moon was an incredible performance and, because of that performance, is my choice for BEST Jim Carrey film.

Man on the Moon hands down. Carrey was totally believable as Andy Kaufman.

Cable Guy is my favorite Jim Carey movie if not one of my favorite movies. I just can't get enough of his character in the movie. Close behind are Ace Ventura, Dumb and Dumber and Truman Show.
Overall I found Me, Myself, and Irene, and Bruce Almighty very disappointing. Me, Myself and Irene had to much Gross out humor.

I went for the Truman Show.
I really hated The Mask. When it came out, I was in junior high, and the guy's last name is VERY similar to my own, so of course I got teased about it. Quite often.

The Truman Show, hands down -- a stunning, truly original piece of work... and eerily prescient, as far as foreshadowing the boom of "reality entertainment".
I really *wanted* to like Man On The Moon, and Carrey's performance is (creepily) good, but the film still strikes me as little more than a collection of Kaufman bits... and with the originals of many of those bits readily available on video, the movie comes off as redundant.

First: Definitely The Truman Show. Can't get enough of it.
Second: The Majestic, very nice, but somehow I missed his comical action a bit.
Third: Liar, Liar. Fun to watch, and it is where I acknowledged his talent in dramas for the first time.

I'm sorry, but there was no other experience like the first time I saw Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. I literally laughed my ass off! And it still has a warm spot in my heart. Jim Carrey was king then. Now? Dumb and Dumber is good, and has longevity to it, but it's not my number one. "We're going down town!"

Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls - So stupid, but so many laughs.
Batman Forever - Miscast.
Ace Ventura: Pet Detective - Same as AV:WNC
Earth Girls Are Easy - Not really a Jim Carrey movie, but still bad.
Once Bitten - Before the Jim Carrey that we know today, he showed flashes of brillance.
