I'm a big "Three Stooges" fan. And I think that "Dumb and Dumber" came closest of any modern movie comedy to emulating that Stooges-style humor. So that was my choice.
I definitely prefer "funny" Carrey over "serious" Carrey. Case in point: "The Majestic," a film that was a chore to sit through. It didn't seem like it would ever end. I was so shocked that Frank Darabont directed it. I expected so much more from the director of "The Shawshank Redemption" and "The Green Mile." Carrey was alright in it, but a lot of other actors could have filled-in just as well.

I never get sick of watching Dumb and Dumber but Man on the Moon gets my vote.

I voted for Truman Show. Quite frankly, i've enjoyed just about all his movies, even Majestic. His early comedies are classics, but The Truman Show is just marvelous.

Dumb and Dumber is the best comedy, by far. Just freakin hilarious.
But, The Truman Show is his best film...great film by Peter Weir, very unique and fairly moving...strange for a jim carrrey movie.

Voted for Ace Ventura, but thoroughly enjoyed Dumb and Dumber, Liar Liar and The Truman Show. All outstanding.
I revisited all recently and didn't recall how much I enjoyed Ace. The Truman Show was better than I remembered, I hope he was nominated for an Oscar. Simply amazing work by Carrey.

For a "Jim Carrey-like" performance, I would say Dumb and Dumber. But like most of you, my favorite movie with him in it is The Truman Show. What a wonderful film.
