and it will always be imo. I watched a lot of movies, but never as enjoyable and hilarious as the original The Mask. It may be the nostalgia talking, but I sure enjoyed this movie. it's a CGI heavy film in 1994 with a low low budget of 18 Mil, which means they couldn't use software with an interface, and everything was probably coded with hand (like Jurassic Park, look it up).

I just watched it today. One of those films I always knew about but never got around to watching.
Jim Carrey had three films released in 1994. This one, Dumb and Dumber, and Ace Ventura. Quite a year. And while they are all comedies they also feature Carrey in very different roles.
This film is maybe the least funny of the three but I can see it being considered the most entertaining. Tons of energy, unique, clever, some surprisingly good CGI, and I doubt Cameron Diaz has ever looked more luminous.

Exactly.
Coming To America is my favorite comedy.

The "best ever" title for any movie, book, album, song, etc., is obviously subjective. This movie? It
is
a great comedy that deserves to be mentioned among some of the best, for my money. Nostalgia aside (I've probably seen in it more than any other comedy out there myself), I seriously think it's brilliant as a live action cartoon. And sure, Carrey is a BIG reason why I say that, but Jim Doughan, Richard Jeni, Peter Riegert, and of course Max the dog also deliver some unforgettably funny performances that make this movie an even bigger joy to watch.
Carrey's wacky comedy ain't for everyone, but it works so well here.
You want something corny? You got it!

I don't think it's the best comedy ever made, but it's in my top 10, mainly because of Carry's amazing performance.

Interesting - I was thinking of this movie today. For the time I saw it in theaters as a young teen, it was the hardest I had ever laughed, and still might be. I don't consider it the funniest movie ever or best comedy, per se, but when I think back on what movie, when I first watched it, was the funniest to me, it's this.
There's nothing wrong with loving something for the memories you have of it.
