And as always, tell us why you voted the way you did. You coward.

never really saw the other movie, so sadly it's Dumb & Dumber by default.

Dumb and Dumber was ok...when I was like 12. Eternal Sunshine is an actual amazing movie.

I voted for Eternal Sunshine. On the whole, it is a decent movie. A bit overrated by people.

But I enjoyed it more than Dumb and Dumber. I'd watch Eternal Sunshine again before watching Dumb & Dumber again.

I guess Dumb and Dumber. I didn't really like Eternal Sunshine, mostly because I think Kate Winslet was the wrong choice for lead. I haven't seen Dumb and Dumber since it came out, but I don't remember having any gripes with it then.

I've seen D&D like 100 times by now. it's my fav comedy movie ever and I can watch it anytime it is on. so many great one liners come out of this movie

the other movie sucked. some kind of like weird depressing bullshit. the only good thing that came out of it was that piano piece of Row Row Row Your boat.

Eternal Sunshine was a watch once sort of movie, great but not replay worthy.

Dumb and Dumber I have watched numerous times when I needed a laugh.

I actually loved Eternal Sunshine, and D&D is probably one of my least favourite Carey movies.

D&D is one of the best comedies in recent years so it gets my vote here. For some reason the first trailer I saw for that movie I could have sworn that they called it "Stupid & Stupider" which would made sense. Never bothered watching the so called prequel as I've heard it's craptacular.

Totally Agree

I will watch Dumb and Dumber anytime I am flipping channels and its on

Eternal Sunshine is a much better movie as a whole. Dumb and Dumber was funny, but it's not as good of a movie. Also, I've seen Eternal Sunshine probably about six times and Dumb and Dumber like three. Eternal Sunshine is actually better the second time around once you know what to watch for.

1994 still counts as recent years?

I can't vote - I thought Dumb and Dumber was shit, and I havent seen the other one because I hate Jim Carrey

Got to love Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, Michael Gondry is a genius.

Agreed.

Love Dumb & Dumber

I'm gonna get flammed when I say this, but it has to be said.

I have not seen either of these films...

"Tweet tweet birdy"

The only reason I needed to vote for Dumb and Dumber.

So it's been even longer than I though lol but it's still true haven't seen many funny movies that could hold a candle to it since.

I can't rmemeber eternal sunshine but dumb and dumber was fantastic

Dumb and Dumber by far. I hate when comedic actors try and make "smart comedies"

Eternal Sunshine. Brilliant movie.

Eternal Sunshine. Take nothing away from Dumb and Dumber, ESotSM is just one of my fave films of all time

Dumb & Dumber. Never seen 'Eternal...' though I've always wanted to. D&D is a great film though.

Dumb And Dumber

because I want it to win

Dumb and Dumber was shit

*in your opinion

I don't think anyone took that as cold hard fact. Just saying.

Dumb & Dumber was that movie everyone in school was obsessed with and quoted non stop. And yet I can still watch it today and be entertained and laugh.

MOCK SI ing SI bird SI


Dumb and Dumber is still the farrelly brothers best movie

I really really liked Eternal Sunshine. Dumb and Dumber? eh when I was younger maybe, doesn't really 'do it' for me anymore :(

Had to go with D&D. I loved Eternal b/c it was something different then the usual Jim Carrey movies. but D&D to this day still cracks me up. I think it still holds the record for the longest "taking a shit" scene

Seriously disapointed in Dumb and Dumber winning.

I love Eternal Sunshine, really fuckin love it.

BUT....D&D has stood the test of time, its probably my fave comedy and my most respected.

Eternal Sunshine is decent, if overrated by some people.

Haven't seen Dumb and Dumber in a long time, but from what I remember, it wasn't a very good movie at all.
