My #1 Movie of the Year

Rating: 10/10 (22 December 1999)

Man on the Moon gets an instant rating as my number one movie of 1999. Jim Carrey continues to shed his class clown skin to amaze us with his dramatic turns, this time as retro comedian (and comic genius) Andy Kaufman. Carrey completely disappears into his role and allows the light of Kaufman to shine through. I hope this is nominated (and wins) for Best Picture, as well as a nomination for Carrey and Danny DeVito for Best Supporting Actor.
