92. Ace Ventura
Ace Ventura: Pet Detective
There is no doubt that Jim Carrey was and forever will be the greatest rubber-faced comedic actor of all time, no matter how many mediocre dramas and TRUMAN SHOW AND ETERNAL SUNSHINE AMAZINGNESS he does. To us, he is The Mask. He is Lloyd Christmas. But specifically, he is Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.
A maniacal idiot savant of a detective, Ace quit an opportunity to become a police detective to do what he loves: take freelance pet-related cases. This enables him to answer to no boss, wear his trademark outlandishly loud clothing, and generally act like a moron while pretending he talks out of his ass.
Granted, Carrey is an excellent dramatic actor (see: The Truman Show, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind), but, honestly, he was in his prime with the first Ace movie.
Defining moment: that there one scene where he talk outta his butt. Actually, it would have to be when he's in the penthouse of the Miami Dolphins coach with all the other cops and points out everything they've been doing wrong.
