Yes it's better than Faceoff. Yes it's better than Mandy. Yes it's better than The Rock (close af, though). And it's of course better than Con Air.

For how much longer are we gonna deny ourselves the truth, and admit that Lord of War is his magnum opus?If you have never seen it, you should feel ashamed right now.

 

[Hookshot]

I've seen it once but other than the intro I don't remember it.

Has one of my favorite endings too

I rewatch this movie once a year

There's a sequel coming from the same director with Nick Cage called Lords of War. That guy who played Pennywise in the It movies is playing the antagonist in that film

 

[TDiddyLive]

So are we just going to do bad movie take topics every time the last one loses steam?

Step 1: Name movie that is good but obviously not the best in it's category. Others post better movies.

Step 2: ?

Step 3: Profit!

[TexMex]

It's great, but it isn't the best. Probably not even top five.

Purely off the top:

Raising Arizona
The Weather Man
Bringing Out the Dead
Face / Off
Matchstick Men

Lords of War: Directed by Andrew Niccol. With Nicolas Cage, Bill Skarsgård, Laura Harrier. Yuri Orlov, the world's most famous arms dealer, discovers that he has a son, Anton who is trying to outdo his father by raising an army of mercenaries to fight in America's Middle Eastern conflicts...

The problem with Faceoff is that Nic Cage didn't play the crazy mofo that he was throughout the whole movie. If he did, it might've been better than Lord of War.

That is some amazing news.

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

That is some amazing news.

It's in preproduction so there's a possibility it might be canceled. But I hope they are able to make it

Hopefully not another Distric 9 sequel that will never happen.

Except it has the part with John Travolta wearing Cage's face in prison and he has to act like Cage's character to maintain his cover.

So in other words, you have actor Nicolas Cage acting like John Travolta acting like Nicolas Cage!

 

[GateofD]

The one where he can see 1 minute into the future is my favorite

 

[Trogdor1123]

He did the color of space and national treasure… you are clearly wrong.

 

[Klosshufvud]

Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans is his best. Great movie.

 

[El Muerto]

I think Pig was his best. Here's my top 5.

 

[FrankWza]

Dear hummingbird,

This is not, his best, movie

 

[Elog]

I think Pig was his best. Here's my top 5.

Pig would definitely be in my Cage top 5 as well. So would Leaving Las Vegas as well though. That is one great movie.

I love Leaving Las Vegas, saw that last year and I'm never watching that again due to how depressing that movie is

 

[pachura]

Leaving Las Vegas & Wild at Heart

 

[jufonuk]

Leaving Las Vegas

 

[Trilobit]

Here's my favourite:

 

[MudoSkills]

Me looking for any mention of Vampire's Kiss in this thread:

 

[SILKYSMOOTH30FPS]

I think Pig was his best. Here's my top 5.

Was so excited for Longlegs, and we barely see nic cage in it. Was pretty disappoiting.

 

[SJRB]

The Rock and Con Air are up there...

 

[DKehoe]

Guys, he's onto us. Our plot to pretend Lord of War isn't the best Nic Cage movie has been rumbled!

 

[Ishma3L]

Leaving Las Vegas.

Though The Rock is my fav.

 

[MMaRsu]

This is his worst one if you ask me

 

[willothedog]

 

[Liljagare]

The Surfer was actually pretty dang good.

He still got it.

 

[T8SC]

The Rock says...

 

[Doom85]

He still got it.

Oh yeah, he was great In Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. Honestly, while most of the movie was fun, I could have easily had been entertained simply by 90 minutes of him and Pedro Pascal getting high, talking movies and their ridiculous plan to make one, and getting up to stupid shenanigans. Because those scenes when they were doing any of that together was so much fun.

 

[calico]

It's good, but I don't think it's better than The Rock.

Cage is carrying Lord of War more than he is The Rock though I'd say.

I can't wait for that Spider-Man Noir Show. From what was leaked it looks amazing and I'm happy Nick Cage is playing the main lead. It's a first for him too in regards to doing a TV Show. I don't think he ever acted in a show before

 

[GateofD]

This is his worst one if you ask me

I was very very disappointed with Renfield, that's the worst for me.

 

[LimanimaPT]

Wild At Heart says otherwise.

 

[GeekyDad]

 

[AJUMP23]

I think it is a very good one. Matchstick men was decent. And Con Air is great too.

 

[JimmyRustler]

Has one of my favorite endings too

Man, I used to re-watch the final dialogue with Ethan Hawk so many times. Sends a chill down your spine. Such good writing.

I tend to rewatch those last twenty to thirty minutes of the film

 

[diffusionx]

I didnt like it.

But they should do the sequel where a vegetable braindead president trades him for a giant lesbian basketball player

 

[IDKFA]

Yes it's better than Faceoff. Yes it's better than Mandy. Yes it's better than The Rock (close af, though). And it's of course better than Con Air.

For how much longer are we gonna deny ourselves the truth, and admit that Lord of War is his magnum opus?If you have never seen it, you should feel ashamed right now.

it's definitely Niccol's best directed film, but that's not much praise when stacked against his other films.

The movie got average reviews on release, but I thought it was pretty decent. Not the greatest film of all time, but a solid, enjoyable movie.

Is it Nic Cage's best acting role? No. Not in my opinion. Not even the top ten Nic Cage roles.
