The slapstick comedy sensation has given millions of movie fans endless laughs, and continues to go strong into his 40s, making him a sensation around the world.
Everyone may have a differing opinion when asked about the best movie that Carrey has acted in. He's had so many mega hits during the past two decades that limiting it to just one might be very hard to do.

Those into the more serious side of Carrey may opt for his great work in movies like The Truman Show and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Carrey gave sensational performances in both of these movies, each of which earned him consideration for an Oscar in the minds of many.
Regardless of which Carrey movie stands out in your mind, one thing is for sure. He's been one of the best movie stars of this generation and a pleasure to watch on the big screen.
