Raising Arizona by miles for me
Lord of War
Here’s the intro to Lord of War. I love the little smirk he pulls off at about 45s.
Lord of War is a work of art
by far the best movie he’s ever been involved with. Good performance too. Leaving Las Vegas is another good performance.
Shame about the real world parts. Ruins it for me these days.
Bath of blood
Wow. I never watched because the premise didn’t look interesting, but that’s quite an intro
The movie is quite good to be honest.
I guess I’ll add it to the list then. Thanks
Fantastic movie.
How in the actual fuck has no one said Face/Off?
That was Travolta playing both roles
Haha lore-wise very true.
Classic, but I’m more of a Con Air man myself
Tie a yellow ribbon yall
Face/Off. Golden desert eagles, Nic Cage at his cagiest, John Travolta and Nic Cage swapping bodies, legitimately great action scenes, and Nic Cage grabbing a woman’s ass while wearing a priest costume. Just an incredible movie.
overactors trying to out-overact each other. Love it!
Easily ‘The Rock’. Nick Cage AND the final (non canon) 007 story all in one? YES PLEASE!
The Rock and Con Air are tied for me. Con Air’s cast is star studded and Nic Cage with a southern accent is fantastic.
“Put the Bunny back in the box.”
Nobody move or the bunny gets it!
You’re god damn right with that opinion
The Rock. I’ll be taking no further questions.
Carla was the prom queen
Not one single mention for Gone in Sixty Seconds?
Lemmings… do I have bad taste?
If you lived near me we could have a few beers and watch it. Sad that they destroyed so many Mustangs though.
Kickass is the best surprise nic cage film.
Lord of war is the best serious cage.
Bangkok dangerous is the most cage being cage film.Best surprise for me was Linglegs. Took a while to figure out who that actor was.
Next (2007) was quite good actually.
I also remember it fondly but I’m not sure it would hold up nowadays… Have you watched it recently?
Not that recently I’m afraid. But I remember that I was really curious how the story plays out and while it wasn’t groundbreaking it was a satisfying twist end.
Not your regular Hollywood happy end.
Yeah that’s true for sure.
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent was pretty damn good.
“The color from outer space”
His slow descent into madness is great. It’s like him turning the Cage knob very slowly from 0 to 11.
Also imo the best Lovecraft adaption.
Edit: “Color out of Space” is the correct title. Thanks to the commenter below.

You might have misremembered the title there.
Absolutely, yes. Thank you for the correction!
No problem, just wanted to make sure people can find it because it’s a good one.
This movie is so fucking good because of him! I honestly want him to do more lovecraft stuff.
I don’t know how that film only has a 6.1 on IMDB. very surreal and I loved seeing him slowly turn up the Cageism lol
I watched this in theater. It was very late and there was only one other group of people. During the film one of them loudly said something like “what the fuck is this shit” and they walked out pretty early.
I guess it’s not for everyone.
Where about in the film? It starts off slow but I love me a good slow burn cosmic horror
I think the color had just shown up. It’s been a while, I don’t remember specifics that well. The movie was great though and the encounter was so funny we didn’t mind it.
Con Air … why? No clue, I would have thought I’d go with Lord of War, but Con Air immediately popped into my head when I read the question, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
“Put. The bunny. Back.”
Pig, amazing film with a very subtle performance. The scene at the restaurant is absolutely brutal yet without any violence.
Pig is a masterclass in not telling the audience more than they absolutely need to know. I’ve gotten so sick of movies where the dialog repeats itself for the benefit of people who weren’t paying attention thirty seconds ago, or else it constantly spells out stuff that rightly ought to be conveyed by the actions of the characters. Pig is the antithesis of that. Characters hardly say anything that they don’t need to say, and everything else is left to the viewer to figure out. I fucking love it.
I loved the bait and switch where all the marketing suggested it would be a John Wick rip off but the movie turned out to be a lot more original
