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 his performance in that. The bathroom scene is the best.

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 it was the cast, or the weird 90’s/00’s aesthetic, or maybe because I was still in my formative teen years, pre 9/11, aka the before times, but it holds a special place in my heart.
+1 but for the Moby Soundtrack.
Does Kickass count?
Yes
Which: Moonstruck
Why: Mostly this scene.
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
Con Air and Con Air
The Rock and National Treasure
Yeah, National Treasure was so good.
Definitely 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.
Wallys wonderland
He did not speak a single word, but cage beat the living crap out of some robots.

Vampire’s Kiss
The Rock. Peak cage, Connery being great, and an amazing setting.
Leaving Las Vegas. It's beautiful and heartbreaking.
Best movie I'll never watch again
Leaving Las Vegas.
…just kidding. That movie was depressing as fuck.
Raising Arizona was his best movie.
Raising Arizona. It's just a wild ride start to finish. Also like Con Air.
Pig. It was INCREDIBLY emotionally effective and made me cry SO HARD FOR LIKE 20 MINUTES. Holy shit what a good movie.

Raising Arizona or Wild At Heart
Adaptation, because it’s more Nic Cage!
Ghost rider, for the mayhem and lots of fire everywhere!
Depends on my mood. Either Color Out of Space, or The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
Moonstruck
