Um Jim Carrey by far, although I was pretty impressed with Will Ferrell in Stranger than Fiction. They're both great movies, regardless.

I'm pretty much burnt out on any/all Adam Sandler movies at this point in his career, so unfortunately I'll never be seeing Reign Over Me in order to evaluate his performance. I can't imagine the movie to be better than Eternal Sunshine or STF, though.

Don't let your feelings on Sandler's old works stop you from seeing Reign Over Me. It is truly a great film, and far from anything he has every done before. I highly recommend it.

The only one of those I've even seen is Stranger Than Fiction. I've never heard of Reign Over Me, and I've managed to avoid Eternal Sunshine all these years because I absolutely hate Jim Carey and the hype was so ridiculous for that movie.

But how about Robin Williams? He started as a comedy actor and did some amazing dramatic work... Dead Poets Society, Awakenings, Good Will Hunting, etc. And you could almost categorize Bill Murray as a dramatic actor these days, his humor is so subtle and restrained and his characters are always deeply troubled emotional wrecks.

Either Jim Carrey or Will Ferrell

I would have thrown in Will Smith (though he does serious roles more frequently now), but I have to give it up to Jim.

Jim Carrey dominates in Eternal Sunshine.

adam sandler was also in punch drunk love, which can be consider a serious movie, which in my opinion is better than Rein over me.

Jim carrey gets my vote though.

Reign Over Me.

Wow, i'm gonna watch reign over me right now. sandler was amazing. I think he was great in punch drunk love too... and spanglish. He def. wins.

I chose Carey. Even though I like Ferrell better and I thought his performance in STF was good, I didn't care for the movie very much so it kinda ruined the performance for me. After his Zohan movie, I've given up completely on Sandler. I've never thought he was quite on the level of Ferrell and Carey though

Carey was also good in The Number 23 as well as The Truman Show.

this is actually pretty hard.

Jim Carey > Will Ferrel > Adam Sandler

Sandler was also great in Punch-Drunk Love

I haven't seen Eternal Sunshine, but Sandler in Reign Over Me is leagues ahead of Stranger than Fiction.

Eternal Sunshine is my favorite movie of all time, so that is where my vote goes.

Adam Sandler, but I loved the other two movies as well.

those were all actually really good movies/roles.
went with sandler, though, cause that movie made me cry like a baby.

stranger than fiction was surprisingly good, though. hmm.

how bout Carrey in Simon Birch, lol, one of the best bit parts ever, and that was after he was huge Thats definatly one of the saddest movies in the world. oh and on a related note Ace Ventura is on tbs right now haha.

Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind

oh_heykate.
08/06/08, 12:04 AM
Ahhhhhhhhh, Jim Carrey for sure! I haven't seen ES, but I have seen The Number 23 and it's incredible. One of my all time favorite movies. But I loved Stranger Than Fiction, so Will would be my second choice. Never watched Reign Over Me, and even though I feel Adam Sandler could do serious roles, I just don't think he could do them as well as the previous two.

That's what I think.

Jim Carey is far under rated as a serious dramatic actor. He was amazing in Truman Show and Eternal Sunshine. How he didn't get an oscar nod and Winslett did is beyond me.

08/09/08, 08:15 PM
I enjoyed them all, but I chose Carey.

I had to give it to carey because he was simply fantastic in that movie.

But I loved all three in their respective movies. I tire of the same old comedy shtick, I love to see people actually act.

Jim Carrey in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind= major Oscar snub!

Stranger Than Fiction is a superb piece of filmwork.
Eternal Sunshine is quite a treat as well.

Reign? I haven't seen it, but I'm going with a firm probably not.

Eternal Sunshine is by far the best movie here. I thought that Sandler in Punch-Drunk Love would have been a better choice (although Eternal Sunshine is still better).

This is pretty much exactly what I was going to say, although I might like Punch-Drunk Love about as much as Eternal Sunshine. But yeah, Sandler was much better in Punch-Drunk Love.

Nice to see that someone else shares my opinion and that someone else has seen Punch-Drunk Love, i feel that out of all of PTA's movies that one gets the least amount of love.

For all those saying they've never seen Eternal Sunshine; you have to do yourself a favor and see that movie.
