Ranking Every Jim Carrey Movie Worst To Best

9. I Love You Phillip Morris (2009)

Carrey gives one of his finest performances to date as legendary gay con artist Steven Jay Russell in I Love You Phillip Morris.

Paired opposite a dynamite Ewan McGregor, Carrey is given the floor to deliver a multi-faceted performance that's at once flamboyant, zany, hilarious, and achingly human.

In their impressive directorial debut, John Requa and Glenn Ficarra deliver a surprisingly sweet black comedy that gleefully bends genres and takes many unexpected turns.

All in all, it might be one of the most underappreciated, under-seen projects in the back-half of Carrey's filmography.

8. Peggy Sue Got Married (1986)

Though you'd be forgiven for assuming that no film could contain the dual awesomeness of Jim Carrey and Nicolas Cage, Francis Ford Coppola's fantasy dramedy pulls it off.

Peggy Sue Got Married revolves around a depressed woman (Kathleen Turner) who faints at her high school reunion and wakes up 25 years earlier.

Though it's absolutely the Kathleen Turner show - she received a Best Actress Oscar nomination for her work - that isn't to discount the game supporting efforts of Cage, Carrey et al.

While hardly a front-and-center showcase for Carrey, he is curiously restrained and straight here, which in of itself feels like a minor miracle, especially when he's stood next to Cage of all people.

All in all, though, a damn fun time.
