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
-

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.
-
Bath of blood
-
Fantastic movie.
-
Shame about the real world parts. Ruins it for me these days.
-
-
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."
-
You're god damn right with that opinion
-
Nobody move or the bunny gets it!
-
-
"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.
-
-
The Rock. I'll be taking no further questions.
-
Carla was the prom queen
-
-
Raising Arizona
-
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.
-
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
-
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.
-
-
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!
-
-
Another vote for Raising Arizona, although it is a close tie with Wild at Heart.
-
Let's go dancin' peanut!
-
-
Superman.
Wait...
-
-
I love "Matchstick Men." Great plot. Fun characters. Chef's kiss Cage freak-out towards the end.
-
This is the one I was looking for.
-
-
Mandy. It’s a balls to the wall thrill ride of psychedelic mayhem. Oh and amazing soundtrack.
-
Seconded. I show this movie to all of my friends that haven’t seen it and they’re always blown away by his performance in that. The bathroom scene is the best.
-
Edit: spoilers I guess
-
“Eric Estrada from CHIIIIIPS” might be one of his best-delivered lines.
-
-
Raising Arizona by miles for me
-
The Color Out of Space, I think he does really well in that and it's scary as fuck.
The Wicker Man, because of the scene with the bees is priceless.
And of course, Mandy. I will not elaborate further, just watch it.
-
The Color Out of Space is one of the only films that left me feeling genuinely unsettled for days after I watched it. The other film that did this was Bird Box
-
-
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.
-
-
Does Kickass count?
-
Yes
-
-
Plenty of The Rock and Con Air mentions, so I’m going to toss one out for Gone in 60 Seconds.
Yes the writing is terrible and it has its fair share of cringe moments, but damnit I still like it. Perhaps it was the cast, or the weird 90’s/00’s aesthetic, or maybe because I was still in my formative teen years, pre 9/11, aka the before times, but it holds a special place in my heart.
-
+1 but for the Moby Soundtrack.
-
-
Which: Moonstruck
Why: Mostly this scene.
-
My wife and I watched Moonstruck for the first time and when she saw Cage her reaction was: “that’s Nic Cage? Wtf he’s so hot!” If you were Cher which brother would you choose? We all know it’s Cage
-
-
Adaptation.
It's got twice as many Nick's, and the Tiger King getting Maryl Streep addicted to drugs
-
Con Air and Con Air
-
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.
-
-
The Rock and National Treasure
-
Yeah, National Treasure was so good.
-
-
The Rock. Peak cage, Connery being great, and an amazing setting.
-
Vampire’s Kiss
-
I laughed my arse off at 'The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent'. A classic farce like you don't get much these days.
-
This is actually the only Nic Cage movie I like because I can't stand him, but my love for Pedro outweighs my dislike for Nic Cage.
-
-
Definitely Raising Arizona and Con Air!
I feel like these are the kinds of conversations that should be happening in the movie communities instead of just corporate greed post after corporate greed post.
-
Leaving Las Vegas.
…just kidding. That movie was depressing as fuck.
Raising Arizona was his best movie.
-
Matchstick Men anyone, or just me?
-
Next (2007) was quite good actually.
-
Raising Arizona, why? Just watch it!
-
Leaving Las Vegas. It's beautiful and heartbreaking.
-
Best movie I'll never watch again
-
-
Raising Arizona or Wild At Heart
-
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptation_(film)
It was weird and sometimes I like a good weird
-
Raising Arizona. It's just a wild ride start to finish. Also like Con Air.
-
Pig. It was INCREDIBLY emotionally effective and made me cry SO HARD FOR LIKE 20 MINUTES. Holy shit what a good movie.
-
I liked it but I thought it was a little up its own ass. The underground fight club scene was a bit much
-
-
Wild at Heart
-
Ghost rider, for the mayhem and lots of fire everywhere!
-
Adaptation, because it’s more Nic Cage!
-
Con Air, hooray for the sounds of fucking silence!
-
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent was pretty damn good.
-
Honorable mention for 8mm. It isn't a good movie, unless you go for the very 1999 aesthetics. But I'll give a shout-out to that quote delivered by Joaquin Phoenix: "If you dance with the devil, the devil don't change. The devil changes you."
-
Moonstruck
-
Birdie
-
I've seen this one long time ago and only remember it was quite a sad movie.
-
-
Wallys wonderland
He did not speak a single word, but cage beat the living crap out of some robots.
-
Imagine, my first introduction to this movie was that I passed out on the couch one night and woke up at 3 am to a scene of him slaughtering one of those fucking animatronic nightmares.
-
-
Bringing out the Dead, because I feel his tortured quest for sleep
-
Fire Birds
“Shoot ‘em, blast ‘em, nab ‘em, grab em, dang gum, bang em, cook em, clean em, hose em, boil em, kick em, nab em, twist em, fry em, ALL GONE BYE BYE!”
-
Yes.
-
Valley Girls because Dottie's boobs.
-
Easily 'The Rock'. Nick Cage AND the final (non canon) 007 story all in one? YES PLEASE!
