Ghost in the Shell comes to mind - Lemmy.World

So basically remaking every movie starring Nicolas Cage?
You shit your damn mouth. Nicolas Cage is perfect.
I love Nic for making movies I’d love to actually see, except for the fact that he’s in them.
Maybe they could do a crossover where all the Cage movies get remade with Travolta and vice versa
Wowke some kind of face off.

I was never a Cage fan. Most of my exposure was my SO quoting Moonstruck, which admittedly he is entertaining in. Then I saw this list a time ago and have since watched several of them. Most of the ones I’ve watched have not been a disappointment and he’s really grown on me.

I do like B movies and mst3k stuff, so maybe I’m not the person to be recommending movies, but having said that:

Mandy and Color Out of Space are my favorites. Mandy is nightmare fuel incarnate and I love every minute of it. Color Out of Space comes in a close second. Mom and Dad is amusing, as is Willy’s Wonderland (not on the list above, www.rottentomatoes.com/m/willys_wonderland) where Cage doesn’t say anything through the entire movie.

Pig is good, but sad. I don’t like to watch it. I didn’t love Joe, just unfun as the page above says. Jiu Jitsu was trash, I think also came along after the list above.

He and Pedro Pascal are great in The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent.

Pig is one of my favorite movies ever. I married a chef though so opinion may be biased
