From the 90s into the early 2000s, Jim Carrey had a run virtually untouchable by any other modern actor. From Ace Ventura to Dumb and Dumber to Bruce Almighty, Carrey's natural comedic gifts were on display in hit after hit after hit. But he also managed to find a niche in more muted, less comedic performances in movies like Man on the Moon or Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. In these, he proved that he wasn't only skilled at finding ways to make you laugh, but could find a way to make you cry, too.

After a few years away from the spotlight (and with a lot more focus on painting), Carrey is back and ready to once again get into it. This weekend, he'll appear as the villainous Dr. Robotnik in Sonic The Hedgehog (a performance that's been hailed by critics as the highlight of the movie). He's also in the midst of the second season of his wildly-underrated Showtime series, Kidding, which makes perfect use of his mix of humor and melancholy.

Carrey's made a lot of movies through the years, and below, we took the time to put them in an order that made the most sense. Not every movie on the list is a winner, but it's hard to ever argue that our friend Jim isn't giving it his all. Let's get to the list.
