16) Man on the Moon (1999)
Man on the Moon is a biographical film in which Jim Carrey plays one of the most distinctive comedians of all time - Andy Kaufman. His performances bordered on scandalous but provocative, humorous performances, and he pushed limits beyond what was considered standard or acceptable for an entertainer. His life remains in an art form of itself. The film tracks his rise to fame through his television stints, Taxi to the most memorable role, and elaborate practical jokes, including a public feud with professional wrestler Jerry Lawler. Directed by Milos Forman, it also tries to dig deeper into the tragic personal life of Kaufman and his tangled relationships with family and friends.
