Any time my friends and I get into a discussion of the best actors currently working today, one of the more controversial answers that always seems to come up is Nicholas Cage. I can't pinpoint exactly why I love Nicholas Cage movies so much; I don't think he's the most versatile actor, and the films are rarely spectacular. But that does not stop him from being one of my favorites.
Here are some the greatest Nicholas Cage movies from the past two decades.
The Rock is probably my favorite film on this list, for its pure enjoyment factor. Cage was perfect for this movie, as the nerdy and preoccupied Dr. Stanley Goodspeed. This is probably my favorite movie to quote with friends.
No list of Nicholas Cage films would be complete without mentioning Adaptation. In Charlie Kaufman written script, Cage actually plays a pair of twins, one of which is humorously named Charlie Kaufman. This is a bizarre, yet incredibly enjoyable film.
Another movie of this great actor that I feel the need to mention is Matchstick Men. In this film Nicholas Cage plays a con artist who unexpectedly gets the surprise that he has a teenage daughter, whom he has to take under his wing.
Another great film of his that happened to be released in the 1990s was Face Off. This movie stars Cage and John Travolta in an incredibly original plotline, which I will not give away, but is definitely worth seeing if you like action films.
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.
