10 Movies That Changed Your Mind About Actors You Hated

10. Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind - Jim Carrey

Compared to some of the folk on this list, the world has always seemed fairly evenly divided on Jim Carrey, which earns him a place right here at number 10. Carrey, of course, was one of the best loved comedy actors of the '90s, having appeared in hits like The Mask, Liar Liar, Dumb and Dumber and Ace Ventura. Chances are if you didn't like one of those movies, though, that you don't like any of the others (maybe you can bear him in The Truman Show?) - Carrey has something of a reputation for grating on people, after. If he bugs you, he bugs you. Still, although The Truman Show proved that Jim was capable of excellent dramatic acting, he's still pretty much in "somebody stop me!" mode for the sum of the flick. It wasn't until he took an incredibly subdued and surprisingly toned down role in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind that the world realised there was more to the guy than crazy faces and yelling stuff: as Joel, a man who has the memories of a broken relationship erased from his memories, he gave an intricate, tender performance... all without chewing the scenery for a second.
