17. The Mask (1994)
New Line Cinema1994 was the best year of Jim Carrey's career, with the rubber-faced comedian scoring three huge hits with Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, Dumb and Dumber and this, an adaptation of the Dark Horse Comics series. Dialing his signature manic energy up to eleven, the actor goes for broke and delivers a comic performance of supreme confidence. The plot is largely forgettable and ultimately unimportant, as The Mask is designed as a showcase for Carrey's boundless energy and comic skills. However, the movie is more than just a self-indulgent star vehicle and provides plenty of humor and an infectious sense of fun to back up Carrey's CGI-infused scenery chewing. Of course, you can't talk about The Mask without mentioning Cameron Diaz and her iconic introduction, with the actress making an unforgettable first impression in her feature debut.
