DUMB & DUMBER (1994)
Even those who dislike Jim Carrey often applaud this film. Dumb & Dumber is everything a comedy should be - light-hearted, quick paced and utterly hilarious.
The chemistry with Jeff Daniels shines off the screen in a big way and, even though on paper the script seems mind-numbingly stupid, the overall conclusion is a completely memorable comedy epic with memorable scenes in abundance.
SHAUN OF THE DEAD (2004)
It came from out of the blue and had the world laughing; Shaun of the Dead managed to upstage the Dawn of the Dead remake upon release with the genius idea of plopping a horror classic on a British suburb and playing on stereotype after stereotype.
ACE VENTURA: PET DETECTIVE (1994)
Alrighty then! The Champion's League has become unexpectedly Jim Carrey heavy, but Ace Ventura was great. More than half a kids film, it's scenes like the mental institution - where he dons a pink tutu and jumps over a hedge - and the moment he finds out that he kissed a man, which prompts him to set fire to his clothes and run screaming into a hot shower...
etc. etc. Go on, be honest, you like Ace Venture. Admit it.
THIS IS SPINAL TAP (1984)
'kin amazing comedy... Spinal Tap is a very clever send up of glam rock and beyond in the style of a mockumentary. So clever in fact that it genuinely fooled a lot of people into thinking it were a real band. Even today, people who didn't watch the movie think that Spinal Tap were a band they didn't listen to but were vaguely aware of.
Again, it's one of those "Bucket List" movies everyone needs to watch in my opinion.
AMERICAN PIE (1999)
It was massively overexposed, too many sequels and so many films were inspired by it that the whole genre it belongs to became cheesy, watered down and barely watchable - and yet for all that, it's worth remembering that American Pie was a genuinely funny, very original gross out teen comedy that defined a whole new genre.
That, and Shannon Elizabeth is spectacular.
