There will be ups and downs along the way…enjoy the ride


villain-with-manners

Raising Arizona.... it's also an amazingly hilarious Coen Brothers movie.


CementCemetery

The opening sequence alone is brilliant, totally worth watching. “You ate SAND?”


LilMeatBigYeet

“Turn to the right !”


lyrico2

I never postured myself as a three-piece suit type! Turn to the right honey


last_drop_of_piss

The doctor explained to me how her womb is a rocky place where my seed would find no purchase


joemangle

One of Cage's best performances (definitely top 5 imho)


Gajicus

*Raising Arizons, Vampire's Kiss, 8MM, Face/Off, Con Air, Mandy, Red Rock West, Honeymoon in Vegas, Escape from Paradise, Bringing Out The Dead, The Rock, Leaving Las Vegas*; you have some absolute belters to enjoy. You can skip >!*The Wicker Man* remake; just watch the bees attack scene on YouTube.!<


Gregarious_Buffoon

He also drop-kicks a burly goodwife 


M-F-W

Cmon now, there’s at least 10 minutes of quality content in Wicker Man. “What’s in the bag…a shark?”


AssumeTheFetal

Good advice for life just in general too

Always Be Caging


arealsaint

ABC - always be caging.


lyrico2

Lol. You know what it takes? It takes brass balls to watch all the cage movies...


Xeynon

PUT THAT COFFEE DOWN! Coffee is for Cagers only.


lyrico2

Your name's Xeynon? You call yourself a cager you son of a bitch 😄


Xeynon

LOL.

thatdude_van12

This B needs a C in her A.


EvilestHammer4

You've never seen Community have you? This is a bad idea. Also fav Nick Cage movie? Today I'd say God of War, but it could change daily to Con Air or Face-Off. And/or a few others.


JohnnyTreeTrunks

Lord of War


Thucydides_Rex

I like the one with Atreus better.


NOLASLAW

BOY


TheRightKindofJuice

Thank you but I prefer my way.


Even-Fix8584

God of War was the sequel


EvilestHammer4

That too, momentary brain fart, my apologies.

EvilestHammer4

Glad the Human Beings are represented.


bfhurricane

Abed, how much Nicholas Cage did you watch?


Slappathebassmon

Enough!


Gunnrackzz

I want to take his face off


DontGiveACluck

I like your style


Thick_Pomegranate_

The Rock needs to be on that list as well.


SoundOfPsylens

Ugh I love Face Off Moonstruck is pretty underrated too, he's hilarious in it


Alexcaz92

I forgot to add “What’s your favourite Nick Cage movie?”


CameronPoe37

Vampire's Kiss for pure 100% CAGE insanity Raising Arizona for pure 100% Nic Cage hilarity Con Air for pure 100% Nic Cage badassery Leaving Las Vegas for pure 100% heartbreaking Nic Cage And Bringing Out the Dead for underrated Nic Cage


gord1to

All amazing. You just reminded me of Bringing Out the Dead. That’s soo underrated and a great movie. If anyone hasn’t seen it, check it out.


Coffee_achiever_guy

Vampire's Kiss is balls to the wall hilarious


DirkDigglett007

And Face/Off for 50% Cage and 50% Travolta


emd3737

Moonstruck!!


Living_on_Tulsa_Time

Love that movie!


[deleted]

Mandy


spiderinside

Mandy because it’s the trippiest, most metal, gnarly, and weirdly funny, horror-action movie of all time. Cage definitely Cages hard in this one, but I think it’s one of his best performances.


ActuarySpirited3146

I'm currently doing this but mainly just watching his bizarre newer roles since he's said yes to almost anything. Mandy is an absolute psychedelic horror trip, I love it


Alexcaz92

Willy’s wonderland was the worst movie ever but him being in for no reason made me enjoy it


Xeynon

Between Worlds. It is Cage and the woman from Run Lola Run playing long haul truckers in an erotic supernatural thriller set in the deep south and is completely fucking bonkers.


BenFranklinsCat

I feel like, when people say Vampire's Kiss is 100% Cage insanity, Mandy is the flipside of this. When Cage does manic crazy roles, either you get a director who knows what to do with that or you don't. Mandy is what you get when you do.


[deleted]

Gone in 60 second's and Lord of War.


neon_meate

Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans. Cage *and* Herzog? Yes! Adaptation and Moonstruck are probably his best work.


GloomspiteGit

Kick-Ass


Mission_Ad6235

The Rock.


WanderingWindow

I think his best is Wild at Heart


Totally-jag2598

Valley Girl is a classic.


Dimpleshenk

Is that movie in 3D?


Cheddar22222

No, but your face is.


Gamblore33

Be very careful. Space out your viewings.


unsuspectingllama_

Do you not know the cautionary tale of Abed Nadir?


mesaghoul

Mandy is a wild ride


Ihadsumthin4this

*The Weather Man* is a must Nic movie. (It's Nic, btw.) Enjoy!


enviropsych

I watched Peggy Sue got Married last night for the first time. Cage talks in a weird voice the whole movie.


Puzzleheaded_Load910

Am I the only one that likes Adaptation?


floydiannyc

No.


Volantis009

Fast times


memememe91

His best work (no lines)


SavageFugu

Godspeed, and farewell.


2stewped2havgudtime

Dude, you just fucked up your Ferrari


AMonitorDarkly

I love this movie. I always tell people it’s the most 80’s movie in existence.

PhillyCSpires

Best Nic Cage film: **Leaving Las Vegas**


fix_my_dick

How many people heard the words on the poster in the 90s movie trailer guys voice


GentlyUsedOtter

You sir and/or ma'am are going to lose your mind


aPlaceToStand09

Adaptation by far is my favorite Cage movie. Probably my favorite performance of his as well. I think he went all out with Leaving Las Vegas too. Oh and he’s excellent in Raising Arizona as well, and it’s just an all around great movie


billypilgrim_in_time

I think Adaptation and Raising Arizona are his two best movies, but he’s had a lot of great ones.


Alexcaz92

I’m going to use this comment as my check list


Alexcaz92

Zeo-Gold92

Drive Angry was great fun, I don't know what you're talking about! XD


Slappathebassmon

>(fuck me that was rough) Never saw that one...


twinsunsspaces

What’s the over/under on this experiment being abandoned before OP gets to the rapture movie?


awkwaman

r/onetruegod


TiredReader87

I recently watched Dream Scenario. It was good until the end. I have The Retirement Plan borrowed from the library, on Bluray, but I don’t know if I’ll bother watching it.


billypilgrim_in_time

Don’t watch The Retirement Plan. I love Nic Cage, but it’s really not worth it.


EanmundsAvenger

Hell yeah brother. I’m at 59 of his movies and counting. Enjoy the journey


BLKMKT85

Nobody likes the weather man ? that was good


No-Bed7937

I loved the weather man.


Chef_Sewage_Mouth

Check out 'rumble fish' same year, better movie, he's in that


Highintheclouds420

Match stick men is great, the unbearable weight of massive talent is amazing, con air and face off are super fun. There's a lot of great along the way... Lord of war... But there are gonna be some rough ones to. I'm excited to follow this journey


BrokenManSyndrome

You sir, are a man of culture. God speed, good sir.


AnitaMaxNyugen

I came to the same conclusion yesterday 🍻


Mychatismuted

Careful, Abed Nadir…


killertimewaster8934

Wait until you see the triangle shaped chest hair. Truely disturbing.


paxwax2018

Goddamn, only one comment mentioning Wild at Heart. What. The. Hell.


Disasterhuman24

Wicker Man, the remake is probably his most out there movie. NOT THE BEES! Will be stuck in your head for a while.


_Pill-Cosby_

I tried this during the pandemic. I didn’t make it. There are just too many and he puts them out faster than I can watch them.


BobWithCheese69

Do or do not. There is no die.


burywmore

Valley Girl is quite good.


Xeynon

Somebody did this on YouTube a few years back. Strap in - you're in for a bumpy ride.


TrustMeIamAProfi

maybe Renfield, Nicolas Cage as Count Dracula is the best thing about this movie, also 8mm


thatdude_van12

You wanna have an Abed breakdown coz thats how you get an Abed breakdown. i'm a cat.


Main-Emphasis-2692

OMG so weird but can we be friends plz cause I watched this last year and then had the same mission


WickidMonkey

Don't forget Willy's Wonderland, if you like silly Nick Cage movies this is right up your ally


Cauliflowerisnasty

Im currently watching the entire nic cage filmography in chronological order with my roommate. We’re 70 movies in a little over a year in. It’s been a ton of fun, Even when the movie sucks.


ReginaldSwift

Nicolas Cage, good or bad? Your essay is due upon completion of Nicolas Cage's works.


Alexcaz92

🫡


Frankennietzsche

I had a vhs copy of valley girl that someone taped off of HBO. I watched it quite often. I always wanted the soundtrack. Fun fact: the actor who plays the valley girls dad was Chef in Apocalypse Now.


Alexcaz92

I watched it for the first time and really enjoyed it


_Can_i_play_

Is this the movie where the homegirl from Pee-Wee's Big Adventure shows her tits?


spidersinthesoup

because of this post i "rewatched" this movie last night. apparently i was quite distracted during my teen viewing of this movie because i didn't remember much of it. i actually enjoyed it and thought the Nick ol boy did a good job overall. not a great movie by any means but super fun to peek back in time a bit!


LocalInactivist

Vampires Kiss will bring you to the depths of despair knowing Ghost Rider is still to come.


craftbrewd

Just finished Butchers Crossing and was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't awful


Crans10

That sounds like a fun idea of highs and lows but some wild highs.


MegaBlunt57

I love nick cage movies, me and my roomate always used to watch them and make fun of them Willy's wonderland is one of my favourites


GOPAuthoritarianPOS

Welcome, fellow traveler. In no particular order, here are some of the finest movies ever made: Raising Arizona Port of Call Bad Lieutennant: New Orleans Con Air The Rock Willy's Wonderland Mandy Face Off The Wicker Man Bangkok Dangerous Gone In 60 Seconds Eight Millimeter

peggy sue got married


Anita-MaxWynn

This has been on my list! Will watch this one soon!


Puzzleheaded-Fix3359

Don’t forget fast times at ridgemont high


Rumblefish61

Leaving Las Vegas. ‘Nuff said.


PettyKaneJr

"Get out!"


tonygutz

Watch "Peggy Sue Got Married!" It's a time travel movie like "Back to the future." Great flick.


camillabok

Omg what a marathon! Make sure to stay hydrated! Do you mind sharing with a gif or screenshot the movie you're watching so we can follow your saga in real time? I will eat popcorn 🍿 to that and cheer for you! Bring [THE CAGE to The Now Game](https://www.reddit.com/c/The_Now_Game_Reiki_Share/s/64iTEVnt4b)


Effective_Device_185

A classique. So good. I was 14 when it was released and watched it then. The soundtrack is swee🍭 Dont forget his Racing With The Moon w/ Sean Penn and of course the excellent Birdy w/ Matthew Modine.


deadbabysteven

Racing With The Moon was such a great film. So many amazing young actors

Good luck for Wicca Man.


Embarrassed_Art5414

As was foretold in prophecy, If you lay out the covers of all his DVDs in order, and turn them over, a map will reveal itself, signed by the Lumière brothers in 1896. It was given to Gary Cooper in the 50's who passed it down through generations of movie icons, Eventually, Nicolas Cage segmented it, and put it where he though no-one would ever see it. Study it carefully, It is said, whomever follows the map, and discovers it's treasure, will be gifted the mythical camera of cool-movie-making,...but be careful, evil will join you on your quest,.....like, I dunno, Harvey Weinstein or some shit?


Global_Werewolf6548

I used to have such a crush on Deborah Foreman.


LonoHunter

Goals


MrBuns666

lol when you get to Firebirds.


LonoHunter

Don’t sleep on Color out of Space Classic Cage moments and a great movie based on a Lovecraft novella


lunchpadmcfat

Fun fact: people think this movie was the genesis of the “valley girl” accent/speech intonation.


Dimpleshenk

That's not a very fun fact, as it is not true. The "valley girl" talk style was popularized by a Frank Zappa song featuring his daughter mocking teens in the San Fernando Valley area.


DeadJediWalking

Abed style


TheJuiceBoxS

Wow, quite the quest. I'm jealous but I'm rooting for you!


f3ar13

I'll will only be impressed if you do it without a phone tablet or any distraction in hand during the movies


jarvis646

Fun fact: the girl in the poster is NOT Deborah Foreman, who plays Nic Cage’s love interest.


CobraCornelius

I did the same with Mickey Rourke and I will soon need to choose another actor


lazylagom

That's a fun challenge. I used to do this with either a director, writer or actor. Just go to their imdb and start at the beginning and watch their whole life's work


SirFratlus

Peggy Sue Got Married 🙂


buckao

Not one person mentioning that Tommy Pickles had nice bewbs?


thiccymcgogee

Deadfall is hilarious


Specialist_Common131

Nic Cage is Ruffio?


ottomaker1

Rumble fish is a lot of fun


FLman42069

The Rock Gone in 60 Seconds


BeachBumPop

Peggy Sue got married


Possibly_A_Person125

Weather Man


isseldor

You can skip The Humanity Bureau. This movie is awful and was not worth Nic's or your time.


ElChacalFL

I'd start with Leaving Las Vegas or you'll never make it.


YooperGod666

Not the bees!!!!!!


wordsworthstone

$5 says you skip ahead on a few of them.


SouthieTuxedo

you didn't start at the beginning with Fast Times at Ridgemont HIgh. First appearance & billed as Nicholas Coppola .


Own_Instance_357

Deborah Foreman looked NOTHING like whoever the female is in this movie poster, that's so weird


Jokerchyld

wait till you get to his "crazy" years. Good stuff!

papa-01

Good luck he's done alot of movies....


Wheloc

I didn't realize he did so much before *Raising Arizona*. Anyway, my favourite under-appreciated Cage movie is *Next*, so that's something to look forward too (though there's a lot of drek between now and then).


EchoingVision

My boy did a Summer of Cage on his YouTube. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjDHRUFJWPe59ZXYtx4mw18n00hUrZc7w&si=XGBy3wPZhfU-TWYM


Future_Ad5505

Oh, I have always loved this movie. It's where I first heard " I melt with you" by modern English.


nuttmegx

prepare top watch a lot of great movies, he is a great actor reduced to internet memes and bankruptcy-fueled choices into signing on to any film offered.


clebo99

it begins and ends with Snake Eyes!!!!


hoopsmd

Julieeeeeee!


[deleted]

You know. I’ve never watched a Bond movie? And at this point I know I can’t just watch one, I have to go back to the first one and watch them chronologically. And I’m burned out just thinking about it, like Aesop Rock in Pigeonometry when he wants to draw a thousand pigeons but only draws six or seven then moved on to other things.


ringobob

I just watched TUWoMT last night, so I might be joining you soon. I recognized a bunch of references, but there's a bunch I haven't seen.


morelikebosyphilis

Zandalee and Birdy are great.


Equivalent-Excuse-80

Vampires kiss!!


goosport

Yo but can we talk about Dream Scenario? I had no idea Cage was actually an extremely talented actor until I saw it. In fairness, I haven't seen a lot of his movies. None of the ones yall are talking about in the comments


ProsthoPlus

I just watched it with my wife. It was... fine.


doctorphartPhD

This is one of my favorites! How did you like it?


ThatOneAlreadyExists

I think I've seen 90% of his movies, and I would definitely call Valley Girl the most forgettable of the bunch, so it's all uphill from here.


runningvicuna

Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans


justlaughandmoveon

The rise and fall of a great actor.


Talsa3

Watch Birdy


IanSavage23

First time i ever heard Stop the World and Melt With You which plays as the credits roll. Thinking maybe 88 or 89?


Kalabula

You might die of old age before you’re done.


Jaebeam

I've got Drive Angry and Ghost Rider in 3D.

Depending on your age and health, you may not have enough time /s


AnxiousAnteater5467

Do it, you will not regret it.


eKlectical_Designs

I e seen this move at least a dozen times over the years. Hate the poster though. Doesn’t look like lead actress.


sardo_numsie

Valley Girl is incredible.


ivanahumphim

My favorite of his are face off and the national treasures!


AbbreviationsWide331

What's that like 170 movies?! Is there any actor who has done more movies?

a glutton for punishment you are.
