Jim Carrey's Ten Greatest Performances Of All Time

Jim Carrey, one of the most funniest actor alive on this planet at the moment. There are no words to illustrate his sense of humor, comic timings and comic expressions. As an actor he so talented and amazing to watch onscreen. He is well-known for his comedy movies but he did his best work in "Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind" which was not his usual comic role by any means yet he pulled it off so spectacularly. Lets  throw light on Jim Carrey's top ten movies so far..

1. Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind (2004)

 

*** A Warm Hearted And Feel Good Kinda Movie For All***

"You can erase someone from your mind. Getting them out of your heart is another story."

 

"Our memories makes us who we are. You can't change the past."

While watching this movie i was amazed by Jim Carrey role as i said before it was not his usual kind of comic role yet he performed it superbly. Here's the basic plot. "Eternal Sunshine" centers around the life of Joel (Jim Carrey) a shy, mild mannered man who is heart broken after splitting from his feisty, impulsive girlfriend, Clementine (Kate Winslet). A short while after their split, he meets her again while she is working at a library and he is stunned to discover that she doesn't recognize him. He later finds out that the reason for this is that Clementine has had her memory of Joel wiped out completely. Dr Howard Mierwick (Tom Wilkinson) has performed an operation on her brain after Clementine visited his clinic to forget Joel. Much to Joel's distress, he decides to do the same, but during his operation he revisits memories of Clementine that he struggles to let go of. This is a lovely movie and if you like originality with a sense of fantasy with a love story, then I suggest you see it. It's one of those films you'll want to see twice. Don't You Miss..

2. The Truman Show (1998)

***A True Jim Carrey's Show All The Way***

"On The Air. Unaware."

 

"The World is Watching"

 

"The Story Of A Lifetime"

Fascinating! Lovely! Unbelievable! The Truman Show, Truman Burbank is an ordinary guy in an ordinary little seaside town of Seahaven Island where nothing really happens. Everything is clean, everything is perfect, he knows people but never really connects to anyone. The one woman he ever really loved is not his wife and has long since left for the other side of the world where he longs to visit but feels he can never go. Paralyzed by his fear of water since seeing his father die on a boating accident, Truman still feels he is missing something. A strange light falling from the sky, a man who reminds him of his dead father, a strange radio broadcast and the feeling that the world really stops when he shuts his eyes all combine to make him feel something is wrong – but what is it that he seeks but feels he cannot find?. You will love every bit of thing this movie offers to you..Jim Carrey At His Best..

3. Man On The Moon (1999)

 

***A Great Comedian And A Great Movie***

"Hello, my name is Andy and this is my movie."

 

"This is the story about a man who lived and died without being understood"

Man on the Moon's one element of sheer brilliance lies in the telling performance of Jim Carrey in the lead role. In physical appearance to comic styling's, he, quite literally, becomes Andy Kaufman! Whether on stage or behind-the-scenes, Carrey never hits a false note, displaying his ability to bring out the humanity that might easily have been lost in a portrayal of a very eccentric comic artist. Indeed, Carrey lends some much needed depth to a screenplay that, in its bare-bone plotting, often seems undernourished and underfed. `Man on the Moon' becomes, ultimately then, more compelling as a steppingstone in Carrey's development as an artist than as an elegy for the artist who once was.

Jim Carrey shows us once again how comedians can be such good dramatic actors. Carrey is outstanding in this role, and perfect for it. The rest of the cast is good, too, from Danny DeVito to Paul Giamatti to Courtney Love. 

4. Bruce Almighty (2003)

 

*** A Fantastic Comedy-Family Movie For All Ages***

"In Bruce We Trust?"

 

"If you could be God for one week, what would you do?"

He is wild, He is furious, He is hilarious and He is Jim Carrey. Jim Carry plays Bruce Nolan, a TV reporter usually stuck on the lighter side of the news, desperate to prove himself (more or less TO himself) that he can be taken seriously and do a good job in an anchor job. This drive is what is slowly driving his beautiful girlfriend Grace (Jennifer Aniston) away. When the final straws are executed, he's quick to not laugh, but yell in the face of God, who in turn gives Bruce his powers. Bruce then makes his life better for himself, until he's guilt into helping others, where he then continues to miss the point of his powers. Meanwhile, his constant excitement about his own life makes him more selfish, leaving his relationship on dangerous ground. I really laughed for so long and hard, My stomach hurts now..

5. Me, Myself & Irene (2000)

 

***Multiple Personality And Surprisingly Hilarious***

"From Gentle To Mental"

We all know how hard it is to handle single Jim Carrey itself onscreen but just imagine Multiple Personality transformation. Jim Carey is Officer Charlie of the Rhode Island police. He's a lovely guy who never really deals with nasty truths like how his wife had an affair (his kids are black), or why she left him. This leads an evil split personality to develop called Hank and hilarity, of course, ensues as the two personalities switch to comedic effect. I honestly think it's one of the funniest movies I've ever seen and it always seems to be the first film I think of when someone asks me to recommend a good comedy. Watch it it's worth the time. 

6. Liar Liar (1997)

***An Unrealistic Story Yet So Entertaining***

"Trust Me"

"Would I lie to you?"

Trust me! Liar Liar is about a boy who, after being stood up by his big-shot lawyer father one too many times, wishes that for just one day his dad couldn't lie. This wreaks havoc on his personal life and even more on his professional life as a lawyer who makes a living putting criminals back on the streets. See this obviously for Jim Carrey, one of the great comedic talents of our time, an original who would have delighted Charlie Chaplin with his extraordinary muggings, his blatant audacity and his suburb timing.

7. Dumb & Dumber (1994)

 

 ***The Funniest Movie You Will Ever See***

"What the one doesn't have, the other is missing."

 

"If they each had half a brain, together they would still only have half a brain."

Dumb and Dumber is the funniest movie ever for the following reasons: two pals lose their jobs, but Lloyd (Jim Carrey) finds a briefcase that belongs to a wealthy woman (Lauren Holly) that lives in Aspen,Colorado and he and his best friend Harry (Jeff Daniels)must travel cross-country to return it to her. Along the way they encounter kidnappers, a state trooper, and many more hilarious moments from this comedy that you must see for yourself.

8. The Cable Guy (1996)

 

***Jim's Yet Another Outstanding Performance***

"Once you let him into your house, you'll never get him out of your life!"

 

"There's No Such Thing as Free Cable"

The Cable Guy, played by Jim Carrey is a lonely character who has been looking for friendship. Except he doesn't know how to really keep a friend the right way. We learn this as we see Steven (Matthew Broderick) get sucked into a heap of trouble that takes an awful long time for him to clear his name. At first, The Cable Guy seems like a guy who's only trying to help. But he soon turns into a bad apple. Jim Carrey can be funny as a bad apple but it has to be done the right way. This is not one of them. By the end of the movie I still felt conflict because I couldn't decide whether The Cable Guy was likable or not. I still can't now. I recommend it.

9. The Number 23 (2007)

 

***Freaky And Surprisingly Cool Movie***

"First it takes hold of your mind...then it takes hold of your life."

 

"A number is just a number. Or is it?"

The story of the movie is about a happy married man Walter Sparrow (Jim Carrey) and his wife Agatha (Virginia Madsen) and son Robin (Logan Lerman). One day as a gift his wife presents him with a novel The Number 23. On reading it Walter realizes the similarities the novel has with his life. The novel turns out to be a thriller with a murder mystery. Walter gets engaged into the paranoia of number 23 and tries to find a running parallel in real life to identify the characters and solve the murder mystery. Like a detective Walter traces the murderer and unknown writer of the novel. One clue leads to another, and another – until the end, the real murderer is exposed. I won't tell you the secret. Just a clue that the novel is written by someone named Topsy Eret.

10. Yes Man (2008)

 

***Just Say Yes!!***

"One word can change everything."

 

"The era of yes has begun."

"Yes Man" is another perfect comic entertainer with lots of funny moments. This movie runs through its rom-com paces, but each new scene, while a bit predictable, was nonetheless a pleasure. I felt uplifted by the end, and am very glad I went, even in the blizzard occurring where I am now staying. It was worth it!
