What are Jim Carrey’s three best movies? For some, that is a very easy question. But what if you’re only able to choose from eight pre-chosen movies?Jim Carreyfans have been tasked with this mission on Twitter and the results are mixed, to put it lightly. Everybody has their own opinions on the matter, but there have been a few movies that the majority of people are agreeing upon.
Since we’re all stuck inside the house, it’s a good time to look back and reflect uponJim Carrey’s best moviesover the years. What else do we really have to do? Fans were given eight movies to choose from and are only able to pick and keep three of them.Dumb and Dumber,Ace Ventura,The Cable Guy,The Grinch,Man on the Moon,The Truman Show,Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, andLiar Liarare the choices. For some, there are some holes in this master list, but they generally hit the mark.Earth Girls Are EasyandThe Maskcould have been included.
Plenty of people on social media areupset that The Mask was not included. While a lot of people can agree on that, they’re having trouble picking three Jim Carrey movies that everybody can agree on.The Truman Showappears to be in the majority of top picks across the spectrum withEternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mindcoming in a close second. From there, the arguments begin overAce Ventura, along withDumb and Dumber. Ultimately, there is some guilt associated with choosing only 3. “I feel like I’ve betrayedThe Cable Guy,The Truman ShowandAce Ventura,” said one person.
The Cable GuyandMan on the Moonseem to pop up on a lot of the same lists. The latter sawJim Carrey transform into legendary comedian Andy Kaufmanand was critically praised.The Cable Guywas not a box office smash when it premiered, but it has been a cult favorite ever since, with a lot of Carrey fans naming it his best. There’s even a decent amount of love given toThe Grinch, which seems a little surprising.
For some of the more edgy social media users, they have gone with choosing none of the Jim Carrey movies. The answer seems to pop up quite a bit, with most people asking, “how about none of them?” It’s not clear what may have happened to make this happened, since there is clearly a little bit for everyone on this list, from dramatic roles to the over the top comedy that Carrey first built his career on. Regardless, do you think you’re able to choose only three Jim Carrey movies form the list?
