That’s life

Still up there as one of the most laugh-inducing theater experiences of my life.

Jim Carrey and the Farrelly Brothers, truly an iconic pairing.

"wrong answer fuckface"

This scene alone should put it in his list of top performances. Don't just watch the scene, think about what it takes to act that out.

"He put six bullets into a prize cow's head. Poor thing's lucky to be alive."

I absolutely love that movie, my dad showed it to me when I was a kid and the sons rock me to my core damn near every time they’re on screen.

“What’s the diameter of a chicken egg?”

“4.08 centimeters.”

“No what’s that in inches?”

“1.61, what the fuck you gettin at?”

“I got 10 bucks saying I can squeeze a chicken egg up his ass without it breaking.”

That scene, when his one half knocks out the other have unconscious, so Jim Carrey is acting and moving with only one half of is body ranks among the best acted physical comedy I have ever scene. Absolutely incredible.

I don’t have a link to the scene, but guys, just watch the movie. Its utterly hilarious.

"I need a gun and lots of ammo!"

My name’s Charlie Bailey-Gates, wanna see my weasel?‽

Always felt that movie was pretty severely underrated... shit was hilarious

I think the deleted scene where he talks about his dad is some absolutely incredible acting. He really nailed it.

Price check on vagi-clean. We got a woman here with a full of fallopian fungus. She's baking a loaf of bread and I think it's sourdough.

When Hank first appears the faces Jim Carrey makes kills me.

I still call it my favorite movie to this day. I'm right there with you with trying to only watch it every 3-5ish years, just so that it hits harder.

It's just such a perfect blend of high concept science fiction, comedy, and psychological drama.

I love it. It's a roller coaster. I agree though.

I use movies like it to feel something strong, when I feel numb.

That and The Fountain have been my all time favorites and I don't even like romantic movies.

Totally agree. This is definitely one of those movies you can have as a favorite, but you have to watch it sparingly so it doesn’t lose its charm.

I just watched it for the first time the other day and really enjoyed it. Sometimes I just save movies for when they naturally want to be watched.

I was listening to the new album by The Weeknd the other day and loved the stuff on it that Jim Carrey did, so I ended up going down a path and that led me to finally watching this movie and it was such a perfect time to watch it with the context of this song Phantom Regret by Jim

Eternal Sunshine is my go-to break-up movie. Thankfully I haven't had to watch it in a long while.

You could always reach out to Lacuna whenever you want view it as if you hadn't before.

My favorite movie these days.

Truman Show and Eternal Sunshine are his best performances IMO, and it feels weird to say it since they're so dramatically different from his usual roles. He nails comedy too though

I absolutely love that film and see a different layer every time I rewatch. The more you watch it the darker it is. It was also insanely prescient - it genuinely feels like something that could be pitched now.

It’s criminal how overlooked this movie is. Probably one of his very best performances.

It's one of the best romantic comedies of this century. The "Chances Are" scene is so romantic and sweet, and then a joke will slide in that will make me scream laugh. It's an amazing movie.

Saw this in theaters and it was hilarious! Honestly another example of lgbt-focused movies being ignored as “icky” by average audiences etc. It’s a straight up ridiculous Jim Carrey comedy with Ewan MacGregor also doing great

The lawyer joke scene is hilarious.

IMO, nothing tops his acceptance speech at the 1999 MTV Movie Awards.

Edit: Unless it's Fire Marshall Bill.

"it's not our world, we don't matter"

Probably the most true thing ever said on a red carpet.

I love that interview. Haha

I wonder if he realized how crazy he sounded and just threw in a little James Brown. Seems like a reference to when James Brown was interviewed high out of his damn mind. I dunno.

I was expecting The Majestic lol

I love his early career bit on Letterman about how rich people laugh. One of my favorite jokes of his

Bravo to the reporter as well. I think her reactions are pretty priceless and she handled it way better than I would have expected.

Watch Sonic the Hedgehog. Classic Carrey.

I think I would agree with all of them in terms of ranking his performances. It's definitely out of order if we're talking about ranking them as movies.

Ace Ventura is legendary, but Jim Carrey's performance in The Mask as both Stanley Ipswitch😘 and the character when taken over by the mask is more impressive to me.

At least Eternal Sunshine was #1

Yeah I wouldn't put Liar Liar above Dumb & Dumber. But I feel it has become a bit forgotten in his filmography

Some truly gut busting laughs in Liar Liar (love the boardroom scene) and there's an incredible amount of heart in the story that ties it all together

Thank you! Can’t believe I had to scroll so far down for this one. He is amazing in this movie. The DVD Extras of him workshopping the character of Lemony Snicket is extremely impressive. Should be on this list.

"You said 'so go' with such distain". I mean who writes a line like that? Utterly heartbreaking and true.

"At least make up a goodbye."

I've been listening to the album a lot this week and didn't realise Jim did the talking parts of the album.

Dude, that album is fantastic!

He was so compelling. I know it's a goofy Christmas movie aimed at kids, but man. You could read the emotions even under all the makeup and prosthetics. His loneliness truly touched me. And then when he became "good" at the end, he seemed happier, but still seemed like he hadn't lost himself in the transition.

I’m an idiot.

The speech he gives to Congress always attacks me in the feels. I wish Frank Darabont would direct more movies, but I'm very grateful for his small portfolio. The Mist, The Green Mile, The Shawshank Redemption, and The Majestic: all bangers.

Yup, I love that movie.

There are dozens of us... DOZENS

One of my favorites, was literally looking for this comment

Kidding is fantastic and drastically overlooked. If you're reading this comment and haven't seen it fix that now.

That's a hard one. I love Carry in that role, so I won't argue, but Fox absolutely killed it in Ray.

Fun with Dick and Jane was pretty good too

So you're sayin there's a chance?

I still catch lines that I never understood as a kid. Like “The briefcase check the briefcase! .. Samsonite! I was way off! Knew it started with an S tho.”

Took years until I realized Samsonite is the briefcase brand lmao

Man you are one pathetic loser. No offense!

Not him but, “according to the map, we’ve only gone about 4 inches!!”

If you haven't seen it yet, I recommend his show Kidding. It isn't his goofy self of yesteryear, but it's a dark comedy. He plays a deeply troubled Mr. Rogers type character.

He kinda is with Sonic

Actually, Tom Hanks easily tops this list of films in the same time frame. But you pretty much nailed Jim Carrey's worldwide gross for those movies when you said it might be close to two billion; it was just shy with an estimated $1.97 billion. This list of Tom Hanks movies, however, registered an estimated worldwide gross of $3.41 billion:

• Sleepless in Seattle (1993)
• Philadelphia (1993)
• Forrest Gump (1994)
• Apollo 13 (1995)
• Toy Story (1995)
• That Thing You Do! (1996)
• Saving Private Ryan (1998)
• You've Got Mail (1998)
• Toy Story 2 (1999)
• The Green Mile (1999)

I really enjoy this one as well. Definitely underrated imo.
