Any time I talk about some of my favorite actors, one person that I always feel the need to mention is Nicholas Cage. Nicholas Cage may not be the best actor per se, but I always find him to be entertaining, and in general, I feel that he usually picks good scripts to star in.
This article will highlight some of my favorite Nicholas Cage films of all time.
The first film that I will mention is The Rock. Where do I start with this movie? This film is everything that I miss about awesome 90s action flicks. Quotable lines, awesome action, chases, explosions and the perfect amount of humor mixed in.
Plain and simple there would not be a Fast And Furious franchise without its predecessor, Gone In 60 Seconds. Nicholas Cage was the man in this high speed action film (no pun intended). Paul Walker, Vin Diesel, Michele Rodriguez and Jordana Brewster all owe whatever careers they have to Nicholas Cage and crew for this one.
Another movie of his I feel the need to mention is National Treasure. While I do not love the franchise, you cannot question its box office success. I would be highly surprised if we do not see at least one more film from this franchise.
I would be remiss to make a list of Nicholas Cage films without mentioning Con Air. In Con Air, he plays Cameron Poe, a retired marine who is imprisoned for an act of self defense and has to get through John Malkovich of all people, before he can get home to see his daughter for the first time.
One film that I certainly have to mention on this list is the movie that won Nicholas Cage an Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role, and that film was none other than Leaving Las Vegas. This film is categorized as drama/romance, but spans beyond its genre.
Finally, one other movie that most people didn't care for, but I will mention is Windtalkers. I thought this one was good, but for whatever reason I am in the minority.
