I love Nic and there’s still a good chunk of his movies that I haven’t seen.
Well, I think his best performance was in 8mm. Brilliant movie, and often gets forgotten in favor of his lighter roles.
That being said, my favorite is Con Air. It’s ostensibly an action movie, and has that 80s action movie vibe, but all the scenery chewing him and Malkovitch do takes it to new heights of hilarity at times. They both over acted so hard it went beyond silly and into epic. It is absolutely the most fun movie he has ever done, including Raising Arizona, which I love too.

Bringing out the Dead is a goddamned underrated masterpiece. It's Nicholas Cage in his perfect unhinged element, playing perfectly to his strengths in a movie where they can really shine.

Knowing is an amazing movie that has been lost to time. I was flying from Philly to Ireland and can’t sleep on planes, so I watched that, and it was so mind blowing that I had to wake my wife up to make her watch it.

I feel like knowing has the dumbest ending of any movie I’ve seen in a long time… The last 10 minutes almost killed the whole thing for me
