It seems he played the Valley girl character in everymovie. I really have to pay attention when he talks.
 
Though I've never liked watching his movies really, I think he is a very good actor indeed. I was very pleased by his performance in Matchstick Men. He had a few other very good movies too.
 
Birdy is a good movie with him and Mathew Modine. Early on he was fantastic but ever since he was cast in The Rock it's been a steady decline as Hollywood tried to make him an A-List action star. Fucking Con Air.........had to gather myself there for a second.

I also think he was back to great form on 8mm. The scene where he has Gandolfini at the murder site and can't kill him and then calls the girl/victim's mother is great stuff.
 
I liked him in:

Raising Arizona
Leaving Las Vegas
Matchstick Men
The Family Man
The Rock
The Weather Man
Red Rock West
Honeymoon in Vegas
Valley Girl

But he's made his share of really crappy movies. I don't think he's a bad actor at all -- I actually think he's pretty good. I just think he's just made a lot of really bad film choices.
 
I liked Lord of War. But what do I know? I don't claim to be a "movie critic", if something is entertaining I will watch it once.

Was The Rock possibly his Black Album?

He was perfect in Raising Arizona. I think he is quirky looking and can do the quirky thing quite well, but Nick as a tough guy is laughable, I have always thought this.
 
He should have quite after he did "The Wicker Man".

Although watching him knock out a lady while wearing a bear suit was pretty entertaining :lol: :LOL:

EDIT: Also from "The Wicker Man":
"KILLING ME WILL NOT BRING BACK YOUR GOD DAMN HONEY!!!"

I was almost in tears in the movie theater :lol: :LOL:
 
I've loved every movie Cage has been in, I personally think he is a kick ass actor IMO.
 
Dude, Cage has been in a lot of good movies!

Adaptation
Bringing Out The Dead
Gone in 60 Seconds
8mm
Face/Off
Con Air
The Rock
Raising Arizona
Fast Times at Ridgemount High
The Wickerman
Matchstick Men
Windtalkers


Sure, most are more mainstream and action-ish movies, but not all of them are. I'm surprised nobody listed Adaptation.... (atleast I didn't notice if anyone did).... awesome movie...
