Leaving Las Vegas, I think he won an Oscar … Moonstruck too.

Always and forever Mandy... until he makes something even more unhinged. Not *if* he does. *When* he does.

yuss

I'm not saying more unhinged, but if you haven't seen "Vampire's Kiss" it is also as close to Full Cage™️ as one can get 😉

Putting a recommendation for Bad Lieutenant: PoCNO as well in this vein

Family Man and National Treasure (the first one)

yesss

Mandy

yesss

"The Rock." My favorite Nicholas Cage movie, largely because of his chemistry with Sean Connery; the two of them have the best ersatz father/son rapport I've seen in an action film since Ford/Connery in "Indiana Jones & the Last Crusade."

Now there's a movie begging for a 4k release

💜💜💜

Birdy

yesss

Pig

yayyy

Valley Girl

oh, yes, I learned a lot of life lessons from that one. "If they attack the car, save the radio!" P.S. why didn't Deborah Foreman be a bigger deal? /cries

That has got to be, 'Werewolf Women Of The S.S.'

hehe

did he ever get his cinnabon?

FACE OFF

yayyy

Lord of War.

yesss

Ohhh, Lord of War is excellent!

I dislike Cage in general, but I was pretty cool with him in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. The movie was excellent, and he didn’t use his usual “low-rent Brando” voice.

heheh

What I'm learning from this is that I need to watch a lot more Brando movies.

One time when my wife suffered a broken neck she hid these Nick Cage pictures around the house when she went for surgery. Just to keep me grounded. That's love.

Leaving Las Vegas

Adaptation

Moonstruck The Weather Man City of Angels It Could Happen to You Guarding Tess Racing With the Moon Valley Girl You know me. I can never pick just one. 🤗

okay, it's much easier to ask me which Nicolas Cage films i DONT like, sophia lol

Family Man 💜

yesss

Double yes

I watch this one every Christmas 💜

Raising Arizona or my name ain't Nathan Arizona!

yessss

Willy's Wonderland. I want a franchise of the silent drifter just wandering into different horror pastiches, doing his best, then shrugging and moving on.

Heck yes, I was about to suggest this! Not generally a fan of movies, but thoroughly enjoyed Willy’s Wonderland. Always take your breaks during work, folks!

one of my favs also very re watchable

Adaptation. I'm still upset he didn't get the Oscar for it.

Wild at Heart

yess

Adaptation

pleased with the Wild at Heart representation, but how are so few saying Moonstruck

fr

wild at heart

yesss

Bringing out the Dead

yess

The Rock or Gone in 60 Seconds. National Treasure was mid, but enjoyable.

The Rock.

vampires kiss easy

wild at heart!!

yesss

The rock. haven't watched it, only listened to Hummel Gets the Rockets, so that is clearly the best nicolas cage film.

ADAPTATION, more like adSLAPtation. be-because it slaps.

hahh

Face Off

Willy’s Wonderland

Red Rock West

I'm super basic and I love "Gone in Sixty Seconds"

hehe

The Rock and 8mm.

yess

I can't find a gif but 2021's Pig is what if John Wick took place in real life and Wick was a master chef who retreated to the woods when his wife died

yess

i really liked the one where he played himself

Raising Arizona

yess

Adding my voice to this chorus

The first movie I ever saw in a theater, "The Rock" (1996).

M A N D Y

Showing my age here: Valley Girl

yayyy

Red Rock West.

yeyess

Wild at Heart!

yesss

Mandy.

yasss

I don't know if it's my favorite, but I came away from watching The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent happier than any other movie in recent memory. Just a delightful haze.

yesss

The Rock came to mind first, but then I remembered his brilliant performance in Bringing Out the Dead.

yayyy

Valley Girl

Shoot him again,

What asshole would look at Cage's resume and pick Con Air?

I’d pick Face/Off but only because he doesn’t do this in Con Air

adaptation. i am generally not a cage fan but this movie rules

yesss

Pig.

yuss

Gone in 60 Seconds

yayyy

Bad Lieutenant: Port of New Orleans

yesss

National Treasureeeee

yayy

Adaptation

yesss

Raising Arizona. No question.

yess

Mom and Dad (2017)

yesss

con air

yayyy

Leaving Las Vegas and Wild at Heart

yess

It's not his best movie but it's his best performance

yesss

I wanna say Mandy but I'll go for Teh Rock

heehhe

National Treasure. I love that goofy film.

yayyy

Pig

yess

Moonstruck

OH HAI HUMAN JOHN EGBERT YES I'M BEING IRONIC.

lord of war

Oooh I forgot about that one. He was really good in that.

yess

“The Rock”

yayy

Pig

yesss

Raising Arizona

There it is

H. I. McDonough

This is the correct answer.

Yup. It's why I take him seriously/love him in everything.

ysss

Ooof, so many. The Shawshank Exception. Superman's Cat. Space Ass. Schindler's Fist. Schindler's Pissed. Puke Bus. Dandruff. Lantern Jack. A Very Pol Pot Christmas....

yusss

Spiderman

yess

Birdie.

Ghost Rider

Dream Scenario tbh

yayy

Raising Arizona

Mandy

yesss

hehhee

And it HAS to be that version. The other version is crap without the bees.

heehehe

yesss

The Rock. Easily Michael Bay's best movie too.

tru

City of Angels Face/Off The Rock

yayy

Face/Off

Red Rock West was one of those movies I saw in college, and haven't seen since, but I'm pretty sure it is the best movie he ever made, despite the fact I never saw it a second time. It's definitely the movie where he did the most one-arm pushups in the opening sequence. So there's that.

Rewatched it recently. Still great.

The rock

yess

people have to be told not to choose con air, what a world also, Adaptation

yess

Raising Arizona

yayyy

I'm a sucker for National Treasure

same

Raising Arizona

This is the correct answer

My sister Aseel just posted a new video about something really important — you need to see it🙏🏻 (I reposted it on my page) If you’ve got a minute, check it out and help share our voice. Maybe it’ll touch something in you💔

The color out of space or 8mm.

yess

You know me...

yess

I’m typing this before looking at the other responses, right now, Renfield. But I AM SURE someone will have a gloriously over the top movie I forgot about and I’ll regret this choice.

yesss

Knowing

yusss

“Mandy”, it’s the most Nicolas Cage that has ever Nicolas Caged

yess

Knowing, and I will die on that hill. A really great look at free will vs determinism wrapped in a nice little thriller.

I probably pick a different one every time, but today I’ll say “The Color Out of Space,” which I just saw for the first time last week.

Adaptation.

Followed by Mandy, which is incredible.

One other person has mentioned Mandy. Motherfuckers, watch Mandy.

yesss

I love City of Angels

same

Into the Spiderverse.

Always.

yayy

I love The Family Man.

yesss

There is one correct answer, because Nick Cage pretending to be John Travolta while John Travolta pretends to be Nicholas Cage while they have ridiculous gunfights where white doves fly out of the room symbolically and swat empties entire magazines into public buildings is PEAK cinema.

yassss

I only ask, have you seen Drive Angry, because otherwise I agree with you 💯

Pieces of that movie are incredibly fun. Pieces of that movie make me sad I'm not watching it in 3D any time I'm watching it. And pieces of that feel less "wonderfully camp" and more like that kid who wants you to THINK they have an "edgy personality and sense of humor" but are really just an ass.

I think that's a fair assessment. There are definitely weak parts of the script, but his performance is so over the top, it's magical for me.

🔥

yesss

🙏

hug

Family Man

So many to pick from. Definitely going to say his performance in Leaving Las Vegas was amazing though. Such a heart breaking movie.

yesss

Face/Off

joe

The Rock

yesss

Leaving Las Vegas

yesss

yesss

Wild at Heart. Not just one of my favorite Cage films but one of my top ten all time.

hug

Just outrageous from start to finish

fr

Forgot Moonstruck, definitely a close second

Moonstruck with Cher.

yayyy

I can't decide between Adaptation or Raising Arizona. The man can bring it when he wants to.

yesss

hehehee

Pig

It's a tie between The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (2022) & Renfield (2023)… But I still have a lot of his movies to watch, so it might change.

Moonstruck

yesss

Raising Arizona is the correct response.

yayy

Wild at Heart

yess

Absolutely FACE OFF

yesss

Renfield was alot of fun.

Face. Off.

yass

He’s barely in it, but rules are rules

yesss

Pig

Hehehe

hehe

Pig Face Off The Rock

yesss

Valley Girl, dontcha know

Ooh, I'll go a little obscure and say 8MM. Exceedingly dark story and a terrific cast in addition to the Cage man.

James Gandalfini is also great in this. An utterly BRUTAL, viscerally unsettling, but beautifully crafted neo-noir from Joel Schumacher.

The one that meets the “do you still watch it if you catch it on TBS on Saturday afternoon and it’s already 45 minutes in” test is National Treasure. Or—and this is even more middlebrow than National Treasure:

Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans

yesss

Still Raising Arizona.

yessss

Moonstruck and Sorcerer's Apprentice. I SAID WHAT I SAID!

yesss

Vampire's Kiss or Raising Arizona!

THE CROODS!!! 😆

National Trezh of course

yess

LONGLEGS!

Not a fan of Nic - but he did sneak in a couple that I liked - The Rock Next Raising Arizona And also after the above mentioned Con Air, I struggle to find any other I would ever watch again (in my opinion the true barometer to the quality of a movie) His movies can be so bad they are funny

Gone in 60 Seconds bug shout out to Season of the Witch

ayweee

Y’all are sleeping on Vampire’s Kiss. www.imdb.com/title/tt0098...

yayyy

Wild At Heart

yess

One of my favs. Willy's Wonderland

yesss

I saw Valley Girl recently, he was good in that

Face-Off

yaa

Do you young kids even know Raising Arizona?

Raising Arizona

yayyy

Whacked out Cage? Vampire's Kiss or Face/Off Stoic Cage? Willy's Wonderland Actor Cage? Snake Eyes I'm a big Cage nerd.

Willy's Wonderland

yesss

Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse

yesss

He was a lot of fun in The Rock. Him and Connery had excellent chemistry

Raising Arizona

yayy

He has all those weirdly good movies but I love his dumb funny stuff because he loves it too.

same ya hehe

Mom and Dad (2017)

yess

the one with the bunny in the box

yasss

Mandy is the free square and I was a nerd for Raising Arizona for years. Part of me wants to say Leaving Las Vegas, but as introspective self-destruction goes, it's this and it's not even close.

heeh

This is a snakeskin jacket. And for me it's a symbol of my individuality, and my belief... in personal freedom.

yayy

Peggy Sue Got Married

yesss

"Son, you got a panty on your head..."

hehe

Raising Arizona, probably

yayyy

Mandy

yess

yayyy

left behind (2014). his bankruptcy era, take any role he was offered, was his prime

"Leaving Las Vegas" Intense.

Either renfield or into the spiderverse

yeee

And you may ask yourself …

Adaptation

Raising Arizona (runner with up: Wild At Heart)

yesss

This is the only correct answer.

Face/Off. I remember seeing this movie with my family on its opening weekend. I also remember loving it.

yesss

yayy

Raising Arizona Moonstruck Peggy Sue Got Married Valley Girl

yesss

Pig

I'd love to say Leaving Las Vegas for its searing portrayal of alcoholism, but really the answer's Face/Off

JINX! WE literally posted at the same time. And you are so right.

Ha!

This one get's extra points because you get to see John Travolta do a Nick Cage impression.

yesss

yayyy

Knowing

yess

Snake Eyes

yayyy

Con Ai-- oh. Shit. Uh, Raising Arizona

hehe

you usually don't use my faves for these so i was unprepared!

hehe

Not favourite but needs mention

yesss
