Nic Cage

Not enough people mention the Weatherman.

It was marketed as a typical goofy American comedy, but it was nothing like that. Aside from the odd humourous bit it was a glum story of this guys mundane life. It's beautifully shot and Nic Cage acts really well in it.

I think there are two Cages - there's "Nic Cage" who shows up for shitty action films, usually overacting (though, it works, because these films DEMAND overacting), and I would include the National Treasure movies in this category (along with Face-off, the Rock, Con-Air, etc).

 

Then there's "Nicholas Cage" who shows up with some wicked acting chops (Leaving Las Vegas, friggin' Adaptation, Kick Ass, etc), applying subtlety to the performance and, generally, making you wonder who fuck is that other "Nic Cage" guy in all those shitty action movies who looks like he couldn't act his way out of a paper bag.

 

Maybe they're twins, and Adaptation really was acted by both of them, with Charlie Kauffman's brother being played by the dumber, more actiony, "Nic Cage." Wait. Holy shit. That's so meta.

I watched bad lieutenant and it was literally incredible. The whole movie is just him wandering around in a daze while moaning " ugghhh ooohhh gimme the coke... Oh yeah oh yeah gimme the COOOKE!"

The harvey keitel version is much too powerful for me to watch. The first time i saw it i was with a group of women watching tv flipping channels. It was on at the part where he is talking to the girls in the car, " you ever suck a guys cock? Huh? Come on you ever suck a cock? Yeah come on..." while he plsys with his dengus.

Pretty much how I felt... I saw the two films on the same day, and found it pretty hard to watch the old harvey keitel film. All the imagery in that film was so over the top, no subtlety what so ever...

Nicolas Cage is gold, his shitty overacted films are just as enjoyable as his more well received films.

and heres that interview about his shroom session with his cat

it's more amazing to me that people don't recognize this Fact.

the argument scene in national treasure 2 -- you know the one.

That. Was. Brilliant.

hahaha this thread is great.

i dont think anybody mentioned wild at heart, i love him in that movie. though the other actors kind of steal the show, especially willem dafoe:

i like him when he plays the nuts

wild at heart

Yes he's awesome in Wild At Heart. "This here snakeskin jacket is a symbol of individuality and my belief in personal freedom."

Matchstick Men, also.

He sure loves money, though. Doesn't he own islands or something?

i love how in 8mm they make that serial murderer-rapist "machine" character a fan of aphex twin

There are a few extremely cringe-inducing moments in that movie like that. I don't know how Xhibit didn't either die laughing in the scenes or shrivel up from embarrassment.

god he's soo terrible. he brings down the acting of everyone around him.

i'm not a fan either.
