The mask dance scene with Tina and Cuban Pete.

Yes...Jim Carrey had a fun romp in 1994.It's one of his earliest films, and it was his first film to be seen in theaters after Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.Jim Carrey contorted his face a little more than usual, and it turned out to be very popular.It is based on a comic book.Well, sort of.The original is better in the comedy horror genre.

The story of the film follows twenty-something Edge City banker Stanley Ipkiss as he finds a magical mask that makes him immune to everything, and capable of practically anything.Stanley gained the Reality Warper abilities of his beloved classic Tex Avery characters.While not quite reaching With Great Power Comes Great Insanity levels, he does use it to get back at the people that bullied the shy reserved nice guy Stanley, and to woo nightclub-singer Tina Carlyle.The results are not so funny when other people get hold of it.

The Saturday morning animated adaptation of this film was well-received and lasted until 1997.

In 2005, it had a Carrey-less pseudo-sequel, Son of the Mask, which starred Jamie Kennedy and a baby.Fans and critics didn't like it.

Not to be confused with Mask, a 1980s drama about a young man with a facial abnormality and his family, the '60s Canadian horror film The Mask or the toy-based cartoon M.A.S.K.

While sneaking around in the halls, the mask turned on his alarm clock and turned it off in a very hard way.
