Frenchfryenjoyer (she/her)What's your fav Nicholas Cage film and why?
ytsedudeI 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 performances in that. The bathroom scene is the best.
“Eric Estrada from CHIIIIIPS” might be one of his best-delivered lines.
Raising Arizona
DominusOfMegadeusSuperman.
Wait…
The Rock. Peak cage, Connery being great, and an amazing setting.
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.”
svnYou’re god damn right with that opinion
paequ2Nobody move or the bunny gets it!

kurcatoviumI’ve seen this one long time ago and only remember it was quite a sad movie.

His slow descent into madness is great. It’s like him turning the Cage knob very slowly from 0 to 11.

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.
venusaurVampire’s Kiss
Raising Arizona or Wild At Heart
UsernameblankfaceGhost rider, for the mayhem and lots of fire everywhere!
How in the actual fuck has no 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
kometesMoonstruck
OhStopYellingAtMeLeaving Las Vegas.
…just kidding. That movie was depressing as fuck.
Raising Arizona was his best movie.
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
Which: Moonstruck
Why: Mostly this scene.
Moonstruck (5/11) Movie CLIP - Ronny Lost His Hand and Bride (1987) HD
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
Does Kickass count?
Another vote for Raising Arizona, although it is a close tie with Wild at Heart.
Let’s go dancin’ peanut!
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!”
Con Air and Con Air
CodandChips Red Rock West a delicious film noir with Dennis Hopper
Adaptation, because it’s more Nic Cage!
Leaving Las Vegas. It’s beautiful and heartbreaking.
Best movie I’ll never watch again
The Rock and National Treasure
swelter_sparkYeah, National Treasure was so good.
Raising Arizona. It’s just a wild ride start to finish. Also like Con Air.
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 is was the cast, or the weird 90’s/00s aesthetic, or maybe because I was still in my formative teen years, pre 9/11, aka the before times, but it hold a special place in my heart.
Samsy+1 but for the Moby Soundtrack.
BroBot9000Definitely 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.
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.
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 - Intro (HD)
Wow. I never watched because the premise didn’t look interesting, but that’s quite an intro
