I don't think there's a wrong answer to the question of best Nic Cage movie (except maybe The Flash, because it's not him, just his likeness).

TWeaK ,

Ahem, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent is a Nic Cage bro movie with Pedro Pascal.

GlitterInfection ,

He's put out the best work of his career more recently.

Mandy, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, Mom and Dad, Color Out Of Space, are all incredible films.

And I've heard Pig is a masterpiece. I've also heard good things about Dream Scenario.

TWeaK ,

Dream Scenario is pretty awesome! Such a funky concept.

  1. Leaving Las Vegas

  2. Raising Arizona

  3. Adaption

Honorable mention: Vampire's Kiss

TexasDrunk ,

Finally, another Leaving Las Vegas person! That's an amazing movie. It inspired me to be the man I am today. (Joking aside it really is a great movie). The others you mention are also at the top of my list.

I also really enjoyed Color out of Space and Renfield. I think both were made better by the fact that he doesn't have any idea how or desire to rein himself in.

Godort ,

Did none of you watch Pig?

That movie is incredible.

GraniteM ,

They left so much unsaid! And it was perfect!

Ashyr ,

No love for The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent?

TWeaK ,

Nic Cage playing Nic Cage and a bromance with Pedro Pascal? Count me in!

I think it's Nic Cage playing Nick Cage (or vice versa, I can't remember), so he's not technically playing himself.

Blackmist ,

It made me want to be a better man.

BluesF ,

This one isn't even just good in a sort of weird trashy way! It's genuinely unique and clever.

Is also throw Colour Out of Space into the running.

SadSadSatellite ,

Raising Arizona, hands down.

"Her womb was a rocky place, for which my seed could take no purchase."

I'm surprised (well, not really) that nobody has mentioned the movie Next yet.

ConstantPain ,

Yeah, thought it was a good movie. I even rewatched it a couple of times.

The_Picard_Maneuver ,
@The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world avatar

It's one of my guilty pleasure movies, but it's rare to run into anyone who has even heard of it.

Qwazpoi ,

Anyone else a fan of Drive Angry? It just seems to fill the action revenge genre roll pretty well to me.

Also I second others comments that Raising Arizona is the best

CoolMatt ,

Jeph

bruhbeans ,

Ok? I have a huge problem with this.

CoolMatt ,

Please go on, I'm interested

I tried to rewatch Face/Off recently and holy shit is it problematic. Just constant sexual assault and harassment. Dude tries to fuck an underage girl who the girl thinks is her father. I turned it off at that point. I get it's to make the baddie unsympathetic but that can be done without objectifying women and children sexually. It really didn't age well.

Cryophilia ,

Zoomers are so fucking weird.

"The bad guy did a bad thing! This movie is HORRIBLE!" clutches pearls, faints

Neato ,
@Neato@ttrpg.network avatar

Lol at calling me a zoomer. Thanks, I guess. You're still apologizing for using sexual assault as a cop out to good characterization.

Now excuse me I need my heating pad for my back.

On second thought, it's interesting you consider younger people more empathetic and socially conscious. That says a lot of good things about the future.

Cryophilia ,

Don't break your glass bones on your way to the couch

Lenny ,

I’d put The Rock over both Con Air and Face/Off, but they’re all up there.

Also shout out for The Family Man. A great underrated Christmas movie.

The Beige Volvo trilogy has proven to aid in vasectomy recovery in 100% of subjects tested.

Note: I have only tested this on myself.

AtariDump ,

Which three are those?

Semi_Hemi_Demigod ,
@Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world avatar

Con Air, The Rock, and Face/Off

AtariDump ,

Thanks!

How about Adaptation

Moobythegoldensock ,

Obviously, the best Nicholas Cage movie is Adaptation, because he’s in it twice.

GlitterInfection ,

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent would like a word with you.

Blue_Morpho ,

??? That was his twin brother.
