The wife is out for the weekend, and she hates cilantro and Nicholas Cage Movies. I’m starting off with “Leaving Las Vegas” I’ve recently seen The Rock, Con Air, and Face/Off. What do you have? Indicate if it’s good, bad, or accidentally funny.
Bringing Out the Dead . -Scorcesse (directed) movie. I haven't seen this since the very early 00s so I don't remember much. It's supposed to be good though.
Raising Arizona . - Coen Bros, Good
i think i saw bringing out the dead in like 2013 at like 2am on TV and i was like wow this is p decent
mandy - extremely slow paced action horror with classic/peak nic cage rage. i love it but the first hour is extremely slow.
colour out of space - lovecraftian horror with nic cage as the dad of a family. he starts off as a p normal dad but gets unhinged and unhinged nic cage is always great. i love the movie but its definitely a little funny/silly sometimes
pig - nic cage is a former chef who loves his truffle pig. its not an action movie, its just a drama movie, and i LOVE nic cage in this as well
raising arizona, adaptation, moonstruck, bad lieutenant nawlins, wild at heart, snake eyes, bring out the dead, red rock west, pig, vampires kiss, weatherman.
these are real movies.
Bad Lieutenant: good
Vampire's Kiss: accidentally funny, or good if you're a real cagehead
Seconding Mandy for Good
Hate that I had to scroll down this far for Vampire's Kiss
Wild at Heart, Mandy and Pig are all good. There’s probably some older ones I’m forgetting about.
Matchstick Men was always my favorite. Playing a twitchy con artist works for him.
Weird, slow, supernatural ish, with uncomfortable sex/romance scenes with a teenage character (but I want to believe that it was intended to be cringy). Skip that one unless you're feeling like you need to spend time staring into the abyss.
Feel like Moonstruck might be one he could talk his wife into.
hahahaha music by Dick Hyman.
If you want good Lord of War. If you want so bad its awesome Jiu Jitsu.
Lord of War is kind of all three at once.
The Weather Man is bafflingly bad, not really entertaining but makes you question what they were thinking the whole time
World Trade Centre - He plays a 9/11 hero. It's pretty bad from my recollection, tragedy porn basically
Season of the Witch - Despite the cool name and co starring Ron Perlman is boring as hell. The studio also changed the ending in post so instead of something that makes sense that had a cool animatronic demon they fight PS2 bad guys and it makes no sense at all
Pay the Ghost - Also has an amazing title but is actually the most boring movie ever made. It's really boring
Knowing- Really fucking weird. Not really sure where to place it
