undeniably good Nic Cage movies

[Flick James]

The Rock.

City of Angels.

I think you're joking. You're joking, yes?

[Leah]

Gone in 60 Seconds!

The Rock.

City of Angels.

I think you're joking. You're joking, yes?

Whether he's joking or not, The Rock is legitimately cool.
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Raising Arizona
Leaving Las Vegas
I haven't seen it, but I've heard pretty good things about Lord of War
Con Air (so bad it's good, I'm convinced it's actually a satire of Michael Bay's work)
I don't know if it's undeniably good, but I liked 8mm

Nic is either the world's worst great actor or the world's greatest lousy actor.

Gone in 60 Seconds!

Meh.

[Hammock Rider]

  I think Nic Cage will top his work in Ghost Rider this very summer in Sorceror's Apprentice!

 It's hard to decide if I like him or not because so much of his acting seems gratuitously hammy and over the top but there are times when he does a pretty decent job. I think whoever said the Coens' get the best out of the actors hit it on the head. Maybe he needs a lot of acting guidance.

 That said put me down for Raising Arizona and Con Air.

Gone in 60 Seconds!

Meh.

err...didn't like this one.

How 'bout PEGGY SUE GOT MARRIED?   

[Doggett]

How 'bout PEGGY SUE GOT MARRIED?   

Thats a very love or haten kinda film.
I enjoyed it, but I know folks who walked out of the cinema when it was first shown.

After all these years I still haven't figured out if he is a good actor or not.

I think he's a good actor who needs a good and controlling director or a role written with him in mind.  Even with bad direction though, I've found him at least entertaining in just about every role.  I like to think of Ghost Rider as the role perfect for him - he was allowed to overact so much that his head literally burst into flames.

[JaseSF]

He's pretty bad in most but I did like a surprising number of his films including: The Family Man, Raising Arizona, Leaving Las Vegas, Adaptation, Snake Eyes and probably even a few others I can't recall fully off the top of my head. He does have a surprisingly likable everyman quality in some films I'd argue.

OMG, you guys didn't mention 8MM. It's my most favourite Nicholac Cage movie.

I Cant Believe That Nobody Has Mentioned VAMPIRE'S KISS Yet

It Is One Of The Best Bad Movies I've Ever Seen EVER!


.....And Another Good Bad Movie With Nicholas Cage Is The Movie TRAPPED IN PARADISE

[ChaosTheory]

OMG, you guys didn't mention 8MM. It's my most favourite Nicholac Cage movie.

Um, I mentioned it.  So did Voltron. 

I forgot about Moonstruck and Matchstick Men.

[Killer Bees]

I really liked 8MM and Bangkok Dangerous.  I also loved National Treasure and Ghost Rider.

Poor Nic gets a bad rap but he's the best cheeseball actor on the planet.  I love him to bits and I hope the studios keep letting him make movies.
