Best Jim Carrey movie? I vote Eternal Sunshine ... wow!

[DrZeeLit]

Just watched it.
He went beyond anything he's ever done.
Terrific.

[Biased Liberal Media]

1. Haven't seen many of the new ones...

but I do like Dumb & Dumber and Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.

[noshenanigans]

2. I *love* that movie and Michel Gondry...

it would take miles for me to say everything about that movie. I went in hoping to want it to be great because a) I love Michel Gondry's music videos, and b) I love me some Jim Carrey.

It really defied expectations, though. If I had to pick a second, I'd say one of the Ace Venturas. They're both awesome, just in different ways.

3. It's even better the second time

Afterward, download Beck's "Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime" (the closing theme song in the movie) and listen to it cranked with good headphones. Every time I hear that song I think of the movie and get all mushy inside.

4. I vote for "Man in the Moon"

Carrey was brilliant as Andy Kaufman.

[Digit]

5. I didn't know that Carrey was the actor in that movie...eom

[salin]

10. loved it - and also loved his work in "The Truman Show"

[joeybee12]

6. Ace Venture: Pet Detective!

His movies were a heck of a oot better before he thought he could act!

Did not care for Eternal...at all!

[hollywood926]

7. what did you like about Eternal Sunshine?

It didn't do a damn thing for me, yet everyone else seems to love it. What did I miss?

[joeybee12]

Nothing at all! The movie was as blah as you can get!

[question everything]

8. Excellent movie. Saw it in the theatre earlier this year n/t

[Floogeldy]

9. The Majestic

[KitchenWitch]

13. I LOVED the Majestic

[Floogeldy]

11. I watched it last night

A very good, and very interesting movie.

[ThorsHammer]

12. I must be the uncultured one here - I liked Dumb and Dumber

[iconoclastic cat]

14. No, that will be considered a classic, like Duck Soup.

[AlCzervik]

16. that movie is hilarious, my favorite scene or the one that makes me howl

with laughter is when they get all dressed up in their top hat and tails and Jim Carry nails Jeff Daniels behind the kneecap with his walking stick.

[ThorsHammer]

17. That, and also the "We landed on the moon?" bit

I haven't seen any of his serious movies, but have seen both Venturas, D&D, Cable Guy (awful), and the Mask. D&D is my hands down favorite of them.

[AlCzervik]

19. I actually like Cable Guy, i'm sure i'm alone in this

but that scene at Midevil times was funny as hell.

15. It is all about Charlie Kaufman, who is the brain behind this movie

having written the screenplay to this movie and to "Adaptation" and "Being John Malkovich" and other very offbeat films like "Human Nature" and "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind".

Kaufman is the most original talent in Hollywood in many years. He often works with Spike Jonze.

I thought this was a truly great movie, very original in it's structure, and very deep in both its presentation and acting. Carrey was good, but this is not a Jim Carrey movie any more than it is a Kate Winslet movie.

I think this is easily the best film I have seen in several years. A classic-to-be. Great insight into the pain encountered in relationships, and why we stick with them.

18. I guess i better see this. the only thing I liked him in was

the one where he played andy kaufman (i forget the name, Man in the Moon maybe). I have heard nothing but GOOD stuff about this movie.

[Guaranteed]

20. Absolutely, and you know what?

I think I'm gonna go run out and buy it right now, seriously. :)

[Penndems]

21. Didn't see "Eternal Sunshine"; we'll have to check it out

However, we did see the "Ace Ventura" series and "Me, Myself and Irene". Hubby and I laughed so hard we ached.

Jim Carrey is one of my favorite comedians, along with Robin Williams. I've loved him ever since his "In Living Color" days when he'd do his "Fire Marshall Bill" skit.
