Greatest Nicolas Cage Movies

Raising Arizona

Seriously, this one should be number one.

Vampire's Kiss

Nicolas Cage's craziest performance of all time! And that's saying a lot! He even ate a real cockroach to put himself on the map!

"I couldn't think of a more horrible job if I wanted to, and you have to do it. You have to, or I'll fire you. Do you understand?"

Face/Off

I don't know about you, but I am crazy over Nicolas Cage. I have seen almost all his movies, including this one. When I was watching Face/Off, I just couldn't believe what Nicolas' character did to John Travolta's character. Although my favorite Nicolas Cage movie is Gone in 60 Seconds, this one is ranked fairly high.

So what happens when you put overactor number one (John Travolta) and overactor number two (Nicolas Cage) in a movie from the most over-the-top director of all time? You get this awesome, one-of-a-kind film.

Face/Off was so good. It's not really my kind of movie, but I am so glad that I saw it.

Mandy

National Treasure

Literally the only movie he was in that I liked. And the best part is, he's not overacting in this one!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Love Cage in the '80s, the '90s, and the 2000s. However, his last couple have not been up to Cage criteria, in my opinion!

It's better than the second one. You can never beat the original.

The Rock

Great movie with a good cast and an action-filled plotline. The movie itself was actually believable. Nothing really crazy happened and it surprisingly had a good amount of humor.

Con Air

How is this only ninth? One of my favorite movies ever, and probably my favorite line of all time: Why couldn't you put the bunny back in the box?

Oh my God, I love this movie so much. Nick was such a badass in this. If you have not seen it, go find it. It's so good.

Not the best, but should be in the top 5.

Adaptation

How is Adaptation not in the top five? I'm a movie buff, and people, trust me, you'll share my opinion once you watch it.

Leaving Las Vegas

My personal favorite is Face/Off, but the best is this film. This film is an underrated masterpiece. Hell, it's the movie where Nic won an Oscar.

How in hell is this not number one? Not only the best Nicolas Cage movie, but one of the best movies ever!
P.S.: Adaptation is also incredible and deserves to be at number two.

Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans

An awesome film with a masterful performance from Cage.

Longlegs

The Surfer

Kick-Ass

The title alone should tell you its rating compared to the others!

Ghost Rider

One of my favorite superhero movies. It's way better than the second movie. It's also one of the only superhero movies that I liked enough to watch multiple times.
