Ranking Every Jim Carrey Movie Worst To Best

41. Copper Mountain (1983)

Copper Mountain Jim Carrey
Rose & Ruby

Copper Mountain is less a film than it is a thinly-veiled commercial for the Club Med ski resort in Copper Mountain, Colorado. Clocking in at a mercifully scant 60 minutes, it casts Carrey and Alan Thicke as two pals who hit the slopes in pursuit of thrills and chicks.

The result is most often a collage of musical performances and occasional comedic bits from Carrey, which while not totally painful to sit through is more often than not pretty dull.

Only the most ardent Carrey obsessives need even bother with this one.

40. The Number 23 (2007)

New Line Cinema

Carrey was reunited with Batman Forever director - the late, great Joel Schumacher - for this absurd thriller which netted him his single Worst Actor Razzie nomination to date.

Though Carrey is evidently trying here, the unintentionally hilarious script - revolving around a man who becomes obsessed with the number 23 - fails to accept the inherent silliness of its premise.

Rather than present itself as a knowingly schlocky B-movie, The Number 23 dares to take the nonsense it spews seriously, and falls all the more laughably flat as a result.

If you can't figure out the twist ending before it announces itself in earnest - hint: there's a character called "Topsy Kretts" in the movie - you weren't paying much attention. But honestly, who could blame you?
