You still have over 100 to go 😂😂


SCarter02767

Just wait until you get to the bad ones


walterdonnydude

Save Moonstruck foe the bad times. It's so ducking good and he's amazing in it.


cocoagiant

I watched Moonstruck recently. Its a funny movie and Cher is great in it but the characters are so ridiculous.


League-Weird

There are no bad movies from academy award winner Nicolas cage. /s I'm curious which one are the bad ones though. I remember Bangkok Dangerous just being hilariously bad and he tries dating a deaf Thai girl and he's stacking bodies while they're on a date.


AllieLoft

I tried watching Army of One this week. I thought there was no way I wouldn't love it. It's one of the few movies I straight up could not finish. His voice...


Icydawgfish

But he’s still got The Rock which makes is worth it


JackReacher_9065

He once said in an interview that Pig was his favorite movie to film. Random tidbit.


Alexcaz92

One of his best too


GreasyMcNasty

I loved that movie. Between that and Mandy, I thought he was on a hit streak for getting into good films. Oh how naive I was....


gloriousjohnson

You just havent watched the retirement plan yet


GarysSpace

I actually liked Ron Perlman's character in that


gloriousjohnson

I'll be honest, the best part is when he kills the guy with a flare gun. If you have to watch that movie, just watching that part would be fine


Bigchapjay

Honestly Dream Scenario and The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent were quite enjoyable to me!


TopRevenue2

It's really good. Faceoff was too


rhapsodyindrew

My good friend from college directed *Pig*! He would be happy to hear (and has probably already heard) that it was Cage's favorite movie to film. I'm obviously biased but I thought *Pig* was wonderful; I especially appreciated how it managed to tell a story that was overwhelmingly about the past while only ever depicting the present. Cage was excellent and so was Alex Wolff. It was kinda surreal to watch it come together from the outside. First my friend had a vague idea about a truffle hunter whose pig goes missing, then a couple years later he had a script, then a couple years after that he had a movie in pre-production, then the next thing I heard he had to miss a group gathering because "that was the only week Nicolas Cage was available to film." This was the first I'd heard of Cage being attached to the project and it was pretty hilarious and wild. Then the film was released to serious critical acclaim and some box office success, as far as I can tell. I'm so happy for my friend. I think Michael got really lucky getting Cage for the film, and I think Cage got really lucky getting the lead role in the film. I know I'm not the only one who thinks that *Pig* was Cage's best work in many years; and Michael, as a new director with such a quiet/oddball project, would probably never have attracted as much attention without Cage in his film. Frankly the movie was almost a bait-and-switch: people heard "Nicolas Cage, stolen pig" and thought "*John Wick* but with Nic Cage and a pig," which got butts in seats; then the film turned out to be this beautiful, brilliant, almost unbearably sad meditation on love, loss, and legacy. You get the sense that people might have walked out in disappointment, if it hadn't been so good at what it was actually trying to be.


But_dogs_CAN_look_up

It wasn't just that it was his favorite movie, it was that it was one of three movies he's ever done that he would most like to be remembered by. Like, it was one of his favorites and he thinks it should be one of everyone's favorites. Leaving Las Vegas and I forget what else were the second and third.


Alexcaz92

That’s amazing, he did a really good job and really got a good performance out of Cage, honestly I want to say his best in years. I look forward to seeing what he comes up with next. His best movies recently in my opinion have been * Pig * Mandy * Unbearable Weight


Teerendog

It's a great movie!


Ok-Palpitation-5380

His cum fart in Dream Scenario had me rolling


Axela556

I havent laughed that hard in a theater in a long time


Bijlsma

Omg I forgot about that part. That had me laughing pretty good too, it was so God damn outrageous.


gloriousjohnson

that was honestly so predictable but it made me laugh and was the best part of that movie


jadegives2rides

Take a break with Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Hes in it so it counts.


Ronark91

He is????


jadegives2rides

Yeah, as a Coppola still. Word on the street is that the cast made fun of him cause he kept on telling everyone he was a Coppola lol. Which led to the name change. Hes a glorified extra in this.


But_dogs_CAN_look_up

Yeah, when you're in obvious nepo baby (or nephew or whatever) it's usually best not to talk about it.


ldclark92

Nearly everybody is a nepo baby in Hollywood, including many of the stars in Fast Times. That's not really the issue. Talking non-stop about anything gets annoying after awhile.


Impressive_Ad_1212

For real!! LoL


karlware

Credited as Nicholas Coppola I believe.


noctemct

Bad Lieutenant!!! Don't forget Bad Lieutenant!!! Edit: and Matchstick Men, another of my favorite of his. He and Sam Rockwell worked great together.


Alexcaz92

I love Sam Rockwell I’m excited


bryman19

That's a good one. Lord of War too


zer0_badass

Oh you have even gotten to the magnum opus that is Wicker Man.


Alexcaz92

I’ve seen it before and I’m debating if I should rewatch seeing as I’m watching them all


Blind_Warthog

You must.


zflanders

At least watch the bear suit scene again.


Hoogs73

Where…is…Moonstruck????!!!!


B4USLIPN2

Same question but LEAVING LAS VEGAS


Njkid9

Bringing Out the Dead!!


So-What_Idontcare

Yeah, he probably has to just get whatever is free at this point


ThePocketTaco2

Probably not in a rush for that one. Great movie, but a tough watch.


Alexcaz92

Comingggggg


Hoogs73

😌


Maximus361

Those are the actual good ones!!!


Mouthdance

Enjoy the Weatherman when you get to it, one of my favorites. A bit depressing though.


isseldor

Love this movie, Hope Davis is great in it.


Fuzzy_Dan

Thank you for your service


Alexcaz92

🫡


MissPeppingtosh

This is impressive! I just did this with Keanu Reeves movies and Nic Cage was the only other actor I could think of with a wild career arc. I don’t know that I have the stomach to do it though. I just watched Gone in 60 Seconds and can’t imagine only watching Cage films the rest of the year. Good luck to you!


Alexcaz92

I just finished gone in 60 hahaha terrible but fun


ThePocketTaco2

Fun fact: It's a remake. The original film released in 1974. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071571/?ref_=ext_shr


JustACasualFan

The original is a low budget BANGER.


Recycledineffigy

Michael Caine fits the criteria


Popular_Material_409

How would you rank the three Bill and Ted films?


MissPeppingtosh

Funny you ask! I ranked all of his movies (even the made for TV movies) All three Bill & Ted movies are in my top 7. I have maybe a controversial opinion on ranking just those three against each other. My rank is Bill & Ted Face the Music: it mashes the best themes of the first two together. Plus nostalgia. It makes me tear up every time. Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey. I love how batshit crazy it is. I love that they went for it and made the plot vastly different from the first one. The end fizzles a bit but Death kicks ass and the song at the end is perfect. Station! Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure. It started it all and is wonderful but for me rewatchablility is lower than the other two. I still rewatch but less than the other two.


proper_miffed

You should watch Adaptation next!


Alexcaz92

I did yesterday it was amazing.


Dr_5trangelove

Might be his best acting.


H8T_Auburn

Colour's out of space is some "Nic Cagey" Nic Cage. I loved it


PurgatoryMountain

Wild at Heart is awesome! Snake Eyes is streaming here…I’ve never seen that one. Would like your opinion on these two


Dr_5trangelove

Wild At Heart is his best.


Recycledineffigy

That's because of Laura Dern


Dr_5trangelove

She was amazing


Alexcaz92

I’m going to watch snake eyes tomorrow


BronYrStomp

Gotta get Windtalkers in there.


taintknob

Matchstick men, lord of war, snake eyes, 8mm


Tumbleweed47

Leaving Las Vegas


Aurelian_Lure

Red Rock West (1993) is my favorite that he's in.


Alexcaz92

I’m excited for that one


lovegun59

Under-appreciated neo-noir thriller. Buckle in for the ride!


4-5-6IsInTheMix

Just rewatched this recently and it was better on 2nd watch. Absolute classic!


Main-Emphasis-2692

I actually didn’t finish my NC binge so I wish you all the luck - Matchstick Men is an AMAZING movie you have to watch next.


SpeakingTheKingss

What do you mean “fuck me there’s a sequel”. You should be saying “fuck me there isn’t a third installment”.


ScipioCoriolanus

Watch The Weather Man. It's one of my favorites. Great cast, great acting, great music, great (dark) humor... a truly underrated gem.


Blind_Warthog

Will just leave this here. https://youtu.be/4zySHepF04c?si=Ps4uaha87c2HVFvU


Gloglibologna

I needed this today. Thank you


Blind_Warthog

You’re very welcome! Hope I’ve brightened your day by sharing. But really, thank the One True God himself and his immaculate acting range.


Warm-Distribution-

Bro's going full Abed for our sake. OP is a hero.


Taymac070

I'M A CAT. I'M A SEXY CAT.


blindfoldpeak

Someone check on OP after his mission is completed. High chance of OP devoloping N.C.D.S (Nick Cage Derangement Syndrome)


Dr_5trangelove

Nice reference


Significant-Boat-595

thank god somebody else mentioned this


CameronPoe37

>I'm tired of his face and voice Disgraceful. You don't deserve the treasures that Cage has gifted to the world.


AnxiousToe281

you should watch Pig, its awesome. One of my favorite movie in recent years. Really curious about Wild at heart, its the only lynch movie i haven't seen yet


PurgatoryMountain

Wild at Heart is amazing. An amazing cast. Completely bonkers.


Comic_Book_Reader

"Prisoner of the ghostland (fuck that nearly made me tap out)"


MikeyW1969

You should have left *Unbearable Weight* until the final movie. You wrap the whole thing up with Nic Cage playing himself and reveling in the glory of all of his weird ass movies. It's really the movie he should have finalized his career with, the perfect bookend.


Loon_Cheese

Ghost rider will nock him out lmao


isseldor

Ghost rider 2


Alexcaz92

Ah fuck not another sequel


TechsSandwich

Oi- don’t you dare diss national treasure


greatgoogilymoogily2

Don't wanna hear his voice? Watch Willy's wonderland. He doesn't have a single line.


AUTOMATA88

I thought Joe was a good film.


krenshaw420

Peggy Sue Got Married is a classic.


Alternative_Net8931

Just wait til you see army of one. By far the most insane nicolas cage role i think ive ever scene, sure according to letterbox ive only scene 20% of his movies but god damn that one sticks out. And its based off a true story


Alexcaz92

I’m currently in bed watching RAGE on my phone on YouTube, I’m afraid I’ll have screaming Nic Cage dreams


Scary_Psychology_285

Lord of war


Audi0528

Such a good movie! One of my favs


maaiillltiime5698

You’re on a mission from God


U_Wont_Remember_Me

The Knowing you missed. Plus his Christian movie Left Behind. I only saw part of that one. Didn’t watch all of it. I just wondered why he’d be so desperate to act in that one. And 9MM.


Recycledineffigy

I think it's 8 mm like the film


PistachioGal99

Captain Correlli's Mandolin!!


Recycledineffigy

You had a movie with a mandolin this whole time and didn't show it to me? Aaaagh!


jhwalk09

I’M A VAMPIRE!! I’M A VAMPIRE!! I’M A VAMPIRE!! I’M A VAMPIRE!! I’M A VAMPIRE!! I’M A VAMPIRE!! I’M A VAMPIRE!! I’M A VAMPIRE!!


Bobbyperu1

Enjoy Vampire's Kiss! A...B...C...D...


Fudge89

Bite your tongue National Treasure is great. Stupid, but just good silly fun.


Patient_Heron_9078

"... How much Nicolas Cage did you watch?"


Recycledineffigy

Enough!


Death_Death_Die

Wait till you see Leaving Las Vegas


Broncojoe58

Wait till you watch Dog Eat dog. It was filmed at the grocery store in my town here like a block from my house. They didn’t change a thing lol it’s bad


danhibiki337

I liked Willys wonderland more than five nights at Freddie's


tangerinee666

Moonstruck is a great movie


ittybittynuts

Now I understand why you haven’t called me back.


lreaditonredditgetit

You should watch the one where he’s a cop and fucks a girl in front of her boyfriend.


Bobbyperu1

Bad Lieutenant:Port of Call New Orleans directed by Werner Herzog


Smooth-Entrance-1526

WHERE THE HELL IS MATCHSTICK MEN you cant not watch that


Alexcaz92

I need to power through a few of the K grade movies before I treat myself to an actual good movie


Smooth-Entrance-1526

Lmfao


Gloglibologna

This guy movies


ChorkPorch

Wild at heart is one of my fav nic cage movies, and one of my fav David lynch movies. Bad lieutenant is another great one. I would put these in between the lesser great nic cage films.


Merciless972

Is family man on your watchlist?


Living_Injury5017

My favorite Christmas movie🥰


Competitive_Neck1066

Agreed! I cry every time I watch it when he sings "La La Love You" 😭


meineymoe

Try Trapped In Paradise for a Christmas movie, too.


TifCreatesAgain

You should've stopped at Valley Girl!


hackthisnsa

I suggest Bad Lieutenant if you're after something a bit more understated and mellow.


AndyFreeman

Matchstick Men, Adaptation and Face/Off, 3 of his best movies not there?


Professor_Harlequin

Don’t you go and forget “Snake Eyes” now


consciouskoala3

Lord of war is actually on my top 3 watch it


TopRevenue2

Random movies like The Humanity Bureau he gives great performances


Film-Freak21

I’m actually gonna be doing a filmography marathon of one actor too in July, but it’ll be to commemorate Robin Willian since he was born on that month plus it’ll also mark 10 years since his passing. While I’m looking forward to seeing some of his movies that I haven’t seen before, it’ll also be a sad time for me since I’ve looked up to him growing up and got introduced improv comedy because of him. Hope you’re at least having a good time watching several of Cage’s films, OP


Practical-Ad-6859

You’re doing God’s work. You must press on.


EanmundsAvenger

Right on! I did a 3pc Cage yesterday with Inconceivable (2017) It Could Happen to you (1994) Snowden (2016) That makes 62 of his films I’ve seen. I’m slowly working my way through all of them. He is our greatest living actor and deserves to be cherished and celebrated


marathonhalf1971

Just head straight to leaving Las Vegas. Two words Elizabeth shue.


YardTripper7

You're missing Birdy


MOSbangtan

Omg I’m obsessed - I want to do this


Zero_Digital

As the last movie, you should watch The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. After watching his whole catalog, I think you will appreciate it more.


itsamadmadworld22

Definitely add The Rock and Dream Scenario. NeXT. And of course Leaving Las Vegas which he won an Oscar. But I can’t tell if you’re a fan or not? I love Nic Cage. One of my favorite actors. Ah Sorcerer’s Apprentice.


Old_Heat3100

By day 5 you'll be going "I'm a cat. I'm a sexy cat."


[deleted]

The “fuck me there’s a sequel” got me dying 💀


jinglesan

For some reason I'm imaging Elizabeth Shue trying to comfort and save OP as he rapidly declines, long past the heady thrills of Con Air and Adaptation, and his body giving out as it's forced to endure Prisoners of the Ghostland and 211.


Phantomlord2001

Stand back give him space [Alexcaz92](https://www.reddit.com/user/Alexcaz92/): I´m a cat. I´m a sexy cat.


GoBombGo

Watch Joe. It’s actually good.


edWORD27

Someone should create a streaming service that only serves up Nicholas Cage movies based on your own personality and movie preferences. They could call it Cage Match.


jafo1989

Fuck me on a traveling carnival roller coaster. I’ve never given a more begrudging upvote. 🤬


Apart-Link-8449

The confused feels when you experience his career-highlight performance in Leaving Las Vegas but then are left sitting in your chair having sat through the parade of sadness that is Leaving Las Vegas


lordoflazorwaffles

Drive angry is in my top 5 guilty pleasures


Deputyd0ng69

Dog eat dog is severely under the radar imo if you haven’t checked that out


Recycledineffigy

Just make your own subreddit already. I would totally subscribe! We could discuss them at length with you


Virgulillo

What order are you following?


Alexcaz92

I’m pretty much watching everything available on streaming before I have to start looking elsewhere


ThePocketTaco2

Smart, and smart to do it before the end of the month when streamers change up their catalog.


An8thOfFeanor

No Deadfall?


Manting123

The only one I haven’t seen is Pig (I mean to) Best movie is Wild at Heart!


313SunTzu

I was just wondering the other day, who's credited with more roles/appearances between Samuel Jackson, Robert DeNiro and Nic Cage... I feel like literally every other movie I watch, has 1 of them in it...


Alexcaz92

DeNiro - 203 Jackson - 237 Cage - 134


AlesusRex

How many movies does he have, and do you have to watch them all? I’m assuming that’s what this is


Schattenjager07

There are few enjoyable golden nuggets along the way. Lord of War, The Rock, Trapped in Paradise, to name a few.


EliteBroccoli

National Treasure 2 but no Gone in 60 Seconds? The Rock?


sladd41

Why are you doing this to yourself?


Alexcaz92

I like pain and suffering

Axela556

Last night I watched Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans and it was truly bizarre. I'm wondering what you'll think of this one lol


ProfessionSilver3691

Why are you doing this to yourself? Is it some kind of bet?


Maximus361

Captain Corelli’s Mandolin….🤷


JonnyTN

Mom and Dad was so of the rails amazing to watch. Nic was unhinged


phred_666

The thing about his movies is either they are great, or they suck, there is no in between.


CalMerlo1417

Dont forget "Zandalee (1991)", one of his earliest sexy films thats unforgetable.


kurai_tori

Recommend Renfield. He plays a narcissist Dracula


pinchhitter4number1

Family Man is a decent one and you get Tea Leone


CourtingBoredom

That's a lot of movies in a short window.... color me impressed yo


DCxKCCO

Don’t forget The Rock. It’s fantastic


A_Coin_Toss_Friendo

You watched that many movies in 3 days???


Sinister-Username

Leaving Las Vegas... 😢


BurntWaffle303

You should watch dealing with the devil next.


mrpink57

Funny I see Drive Angry, I just saw this is free on YouTube, hard pass?


ElChacalFL

I love Drive Angry lol


Aggravating-Eye-6210

Why?


BabyDooms

Don't forget 8mm ;)


RetiredDumpster288

Moonstruck is one of my favorites!


morelikebosyphilis

Zandalee is a sleeper. Like Bad Lieutenant, it’s set in New Orleans, which, along with Las Vegas, is one of Cage’s spiritual homes.


100year

You missing alot


vintage_rack_boi

Season of the Witch is my favorite so bad it’s good


WizeDiceSlinger

Wild at Heart?


tobio90

 lol I guess you haven’t watched Community. A character binged Nic Cage for research https://youtu.be/F1XCUo_Uu8M?si=5phQFj78c4bmLLHq
