Hello?

The exchange between Cage and his boss during that scene is one of my favorites from any film I've ever seen.

Cage has made one good film in his career?

That's high praise.

/actually likes about 75% of his movies

Apos: Thorak: mitchcumstein1: I enjoyed Drive Angry, but that may have had more to do with Amber Heard.

Drive Angry is amazing, and should be in any list of his top 5.

But you have to watch it knowing that it's a tongue-in-cheek satire of the genre, rather than a serious movie.

I'm not sure that was the intent, but that's how it plays.

I didn't even occur to me that it was satirical-it just seemed worse than his typical turkeys. Even with this fresh perspective,it'll be difficult to sit through again.

Also applies to Showgirls

"Alva, there is no one else in this entire office that I could possibly ask to share such a horrible job. You're the lowest on the totem pole here, Alva. The lowest. Do you realize that? Every other secretary here has been here longer than you, Alva. Every one. And even if there was someone here who was here even one day longer than you, I still wouldn't ask that person to partake in such a miserable job as long as you were around. That's right, Alva. It's a horrible, horrible job; sifting through old contract after old contract. I couldn't think of a more horrible job if I wanted to. And you have to do it! You have to or I'll fire you. You understand? Do you? Good. "

/could never figure if he really did rape Alva at the end of the movie

The_Six_Fingered_Man: Screw you all for not mentioning Snake Eyes.

The first fifteen minutes of that movie were awesome. Then you might as well shut it off and watch Blow Out or Phantom of the Paradise instead.

Really Fark? I am disappoint.



Not to mention his very first film.

Snake Eyes and Mission to Mars. Two Brian De Palma movies that started awesome but had re-goddamn-diculous endings. I believe they were back to back.

His role in "Kick-Ass" was enjoyable.

/still wish the Nick Cage Superman movie would've made it to production. Comedy gold was missed there.

The most disappointing De Palma flick, IMHO, is Raising Cain. I was glad when that biatch died so Lithgow could get back to being awesome.

How about Boy In Blue?

Leaving Las Vegas was good imho.

Subby, "one of Nicolas Cage's best, most out-of-control performances" =/= "has made one good film"

I'm not fond of Cage but his ::ahem:: performance in Kiss was, as the article so perfectly stated, taking it all the way "up to 11."

KarlMaldensNose: Bloody William: The more Nic Cage loses his shiat in a movie, the more I love it. Ghost Rider 2 was awesome.

I think you might enjoy this then. Nic Cage Loses his shiat.

Wow. That was really stressful to watch.

don't understand: Fluorescent Testicle: Con Air is a guilty pleasure of mine.

Con Air is one of the greatest comedies ever made!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

/IFace/Off needs more love here
//ghost rider 1 needed more peter fonda, less cage
///Season of the Witch need more ron perlman, less cage

I guess I'm the only person who saw Zandalee

It was basically soft porn with a lot of naked famous people.

Crewmannumber6: I liked Family Man, and yes, I know I'm the only one.

/Don Cheadle is good.

You're really not; I liked it, too!

/Mmmm Tea Leone

Rapmaster2000: though I might have just remembered liking slutty Laura Dern

I remember liking slutty Laura Dern, too. Many, many times.

I sat through all of Vampire's Kiss, it sucked

Every good movie Nic Cage has been in has been good in spite of him.

Nic Cage is a terrible actor, and it confounds me that he still gets work in Hollywood.

Nic Cage is the Nickelback of acting.

Bell's Boy: Every good movie Nic Cage has been in has been good in spite of him.

Nic Cage is a terrible actor, and it confounds me that he still gets work in Hollywood.

Nic Cage is the Nickelback of acting.

Adaptation.

DaWormyPimpsta: His role in "Kick-Ass" was enjoyable.

/still wish the Nick Cage Superman movie would've made it to production. Comedy gold was missed there.

Yeah.. except maybe if he did it like KickAss it would have been full of win.

Mugato: I guess the point is that he's a Coppola and therefore he was given more undeserved chances than an American Indian applying to college and 4 or 5 of them worked.

Wat?

Is it really that easy to get everyone worked up over Nic farking Cage?

Nicolas Cage, as been pointed out above, has been in plenty of decent to great movies. He's also been in a ton of terrible ones. I think Michael Caine said it best when asked about a particular horrible movie his was in (Jaws 4, I think):

"I haven't seen it, but I did see the house it bought for my mother and it was very beautiful," he says. "They said here's a million bucks for a week's work. It's fine."

Mugato: Refer to my Coppola comment.

Nepotism will only get you so far. He wouldn't still be making movies on a regular basis for 30 years unless people wanted to cast him.

And when you hire Nic Cage, you know what you're getting.

The Best Movie.

Vampire's Kiss was our first introduction to batshiat looney off the rails Nic Cage ... we couldn't believe what we were witnessing back then.

When he actually rapes Alma and pleads for (and gets) the stake driven through his heart it was gloriously at odds with his hilariously zany brand of misogyny and live cockroach eating.

We loved it.

The Cotton Club was a good film.

And by good I mean that it showed Diane Lane in the buff.

Cage is amazing when he goes batshat
Bad Lieutenant
Adaptation
Wicker Man
Vampire's Kiss
Wild At Heart
Rasing Arizona
Kick Ass

JoePiscopoJr.: Cage is amazing when he goes batshat
Bad Lieutenant
Adaptation
Wicker Man
Vampire's Kiss
Wild At Heart
Rasing Arizona
Kick Ass

Jekylman: You are all wrong. His best movie is Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans.

Vampire's Kiss doesn't even make the top five.

This. Bad Lieutenant 2 is farking hilarious. He slowly gets more and more insane as the movie goes along. Cage at his Cageyist

Drive Angry is one of the best drive in films of all time. How can anyone not like that movie? It has all the elements of a classic Nic Cage film.

It ain't Ozzie and Harriet.

And thus, a thread made farkers DEFEND Nic Cage.

/not subby, but impressed.

JoePiscopoJr.: Cage is amazing when he goes batshat

Vampire's Kiss

I can't believe it took this long for someone to mention Wicker man

WhoIsWillo: OFFS.

Raising Arizona, Leaving Las Vegas, Adaptation, Matchstick Men. Your argument is invalid.

He was bloody fantastic in Matchstick Men. That movie doesn't get enough props.
