6. The Truman Show
Boasting one of the most original premises of all time and under the pleasantly dutiful eye of director Peter Weir,
The Truman Show is Jim Carrey at both his dramatic and comedic best (save
Man on the Moon) and bounces on the list without any difficulty whatsoever. The movie, which follows the personal world of Carrey's Truman Burbank as his life is televised without him knowing, is heartwarming, heartbreaking, and full of vigor and gusto from beginning to end. A movie that capitalizes on the beauty in the ordinary, the idea that people worldwide are obsessed with the life of a single individual is perfectly captured by a script from Andrew Niccol and highlighted by Carrey and his supporting cast. Creative, clever, and blissfully endearing,
The Truman Show isn't just one of the greatest television movies of all time, it's got a soul that lets it rank with some of the best in any genre. http://youtu.be/z9lBvg5clr0
