Quintessential Nicolas Cage films

[Ⓥenom Ⓢnake 🐍]

Nicolas Cage has a fairly limited role when it comes to doing more serious film.

But when we get Nicolas Cage let off his chain, then we get to see The Man behind The mirror.

The man with no fear and no shame of taking some of the worst acting jobs ever to pay off his insane spending sprees.

Some of these films are not good. some of these films are iconic in just how over-the-top and strange they are.

so let's talk about the films that you think about when you think about Nicolas Cage. What is the one film that defines this actor's career.

I already know my thoughts.

It is drive angry. There is not a single sane moment in this film. You throw in William fichtner as not quite an antagonist, and you get to great character actors chewing the scenery and just being amazing

I wonder if anyone is going to list the movie where Nicolas Cage thinks he is a vampire and does incredibly horrible things.

He's got his crazy Nick eyes going

I wanted it to be a horror. I even bought it on DVD prior to even seeing it because I thought it was a horror.

I can’t tell you the shame I carried for years because of that.

I can't look up the title currently but if you want to Nicolas Cage horror sound look at that one with him and Ron perlman I think it's called season of the witch were they play to crusaders who are escorting a woman who may or may not be a witch. I mean it does try to take itself seriously, but it's got Ron perlman and Nicolas Cage being Ron perlman and Nicolas Cage. Still actually rather creepy though.

I was the only one in the movie theatre that day for this movie.
IT WAS AWESOME

Claire Foy in a cage? Wouldn’t miss it for the world.

He roundhouse-kicks leelee sobieski.

And then begins the bear.

if it wasn't such a horrible version of the original film I would rate it higher. But it is an incredibly entertaining comedy, despite people wanting it to be horror.

They needed to commit to the witches either being the good guys or not. That they waffled through to the end really undermined the impact.

That, and you're right that it doesn't even hold a candle to the original.

Pretty sure it'd be Face Off, his psycho acting skills were on full display during that mirror laughing scene.

He's made a lot of crap but there's some of his movies which i rank with some of the best i've ever seen.

Bringing out the dead.
Martin Scorsese dark comedy drama movie where Nic Cage plays an ambulance driver in New York. It's engrossing and i've seen it so many times.
