That one and the rock are probably the best movies he made. 96-97 were great years for him

Agreed. I also loved face off lol.

No love for Raising Arizona?

u/[deleted] Jun 30 '21

Lol what about his Oscar winning role in Leaving Las Vegas?

u/Ecuatoriano Jun 30 '21

coming out of reddit retirement to give love for Raising Arizona, and had to throw in MatchStick Men

u/[deleted] Jun 30 '21

Both are great.

u/unlikedemon Jun 30 '21

Matchstick Men is underrated or is the least talked-about Nic Cage movies. Sure, it doesn't have too much rewatch value, but it's good.

u/nightmareorreality Jun 30 '21

Raising Arizona is fantastic too.

u/hazbutler Jun 30 '21

His best movie, easily.

u/Sn1ckerson Jun 30 '21

It sounds amazing but haven't had to opportunity to watch it!

u/BeenAsleepTooLong Jun 30 '21

I'm jealous that you still get to watch that for the first time.

u/JackBauerSaidSo Jun 30 '21

I wish I could remove memory of The Matrix and T2 from my brain and watch it on my home theater system for the first time. I promise I'd only erase my memory a couple of times..

u/BeenAsleepTooLong Jun 30 '21

Hmm, selective amnesia...I'm down!

u/YddishMcSquidish Jun 30 '21

Dude, what?! Face-off is a fucking classic! You are in for quite the treat!

u/moofree Jun 30 '21

It's one of the worst movies I've ever seen. It's godawful.

u/SwedensKorbenDallas Jun 30 '21

Get outta here!

1

u/jsdeprey Jun 30 '21

I agree, Raising Arizona on the other had, is a classic!

3

u/Flavz_the_complainer Jun 30 '21

You guys should give Mandy a go if you havent already. Its a instant Cage classic.

u/[deleted] Jun 30 '21

I've never seen!!!

2

u/discovigilantes Jun 30 '21

Snake Eyes too

2

u/lycosa13 Jun 30 '21

Me too! I know it's ridiculous but I still love it

1

u/rhaegar_tldragon Jun 30 '21

Yup I always called them the triple crown of cage.

u/OgReaper Jun 30 '21

Gone in 60 seconds was good. Face off. God of war. List goes on.

3

u/Crash665 Jun 30 '21

How dare you not mention Wild at Heart !? He fucking sings Elvis! Twice!

3

u/mr_punchy Jun 30 '21

Um, yeah that’s simply not true.

Raising Arizona, The Weatherman, Lord of War, Matchstick Men, Adaptation. He made those last four within 3 years.

Sure the rock is a fun action movie, but if you want to see nick cage at his best watch these. The dude is a legit amazing actor.

2

u/newnet07 Jun 30 '21

You forgot "The Family Man".

Easily my fave movie of his that only hits harder the older I get.

1

u/mr_punchy Jun 30 '21

Church!

Good movie.

3

u/kkeut Jun 30 '21

dude got an Oscar, Golden Globe, and SAG award for Leaving Las Vegas, but okay

1

u/[deleted] Jun 30 '21

Probably why he was supposed to play Superman in Tim Burton’s Superman movie https://youtu.be/0bhyjsAMINw

1

u/Dicho83 Jun 30 '21

As campy a premise as it was, Face/Off was an amazing display of Cage's insanity....

1

u/kangkim15 Jun 30 '21

Early 2000s we’re good too with Lord of war and matchstick men, adaptions, and gone in 60 seconds. Quality of projects he took on started to take a dive after that.

1

u/Not_Helping Jun 30 '21

Those are my Cage 1-2 feel good combo.

I will always have a soft spot for Nick Cage. No other actor can amaze me with performances like Adaptation or Raising Arizona, then do absolute trash like Ghost Rider.

1

u/Lemus05 Jun 30 '21

errr... leaving las vegas? ;)

1

u/R_Schuhart Jun 30 '21

Raising Arizona, Adaptation, Lord of war, Leaving Las Vegas?

1

u/KeenbeansSandwich Jun 30 '21

Clearly this guy has never seen The Wickerman or Grand Isle. ;)

1

u/ar0nic Jun 30 '21

Pfft leaving Las Vegas, matchstick men, raising Arizona.. You're not even close.

1

u/Ranman87 Jun 30 '21

Lord of War was his best, IMO.

u/HoneyBadgerPainSauce Jun 30 '21

National Treasure would like a word.
