I was a Nicolas Cage fan back then and these are some of my favorites.
In The Rock you have Sean Connery and Ed Harris both doing excellent jobs.
In Con Air you have John Malkovich, Steve Buscemi and John Cusack standing out.
In Face/Off I always admired the way both actors switched personalities without missing a beat.

I'll have to come back to this one...

F***off is awesome (sorry I just felt a bit lewd today, being sick and such...)
I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

After kicking it around I voted for Con Air but it wasn't easy.

I guess FaceOff, though The Rock is okay.   Cage's career has always seemed a bit tragic; Birdy was so promising and then it was mostly crap for him with the occasional Wild at Heart or something edgy.   His last best was Joe .

Con Air tops my list with The Rock coming in second. I found Face Off to be an absolute disaster in every possible way. Horrible premise, horrible film making and absurd execution.I  think I've only seen Gone in 60 Seconds once and it didn't really resonate with me, there are far better cars chase movies to watch. But for all the bashing that Cage gets He does have a likeability in some of his movies that just seems to fit. National Treasure and Next come to mind.
Thank you for supporting independently produced music

they are campy but fun..

I'd take Raising Arizona or Wild at Heart over any of these though.

btw.. the soundtrack to that movie is frickin awesome. One of my favorite movie soundtracks. In fact putting that on next.



my god ..was I the only one that had severe lust for Laura Dern back in the day. Only topped by Ellen Barkin. woo HOO!!!

oh Ellen...and speaking of the almighty Ellen Barkin. How can one not mention the greatest movie of the 80's..  so far above any other. And how did I forget this one in top 10 list.

I thought "Knowing" was a good movie. It was an interesting story about something that could happen at any time (even though predicting the end of the world fifty years before it happened was pure Hollywood).

what do you all think of his performance in Leaving Los Vegas.. man that was one depressing movie. I only saw it once and never again. I was enjoying life too much as a full blown alcoholic and life of the party to want that particular splash of cold water reality to my face.

^  I used to have a huge crush on Elizabeth Shue. Shocked
Anyway, that was a very intense movie and I've also only watched it once.

I'd definitely say Face/Off, although National Treasure is a close second. Such a goofy flick, but so much fun at the same time (actually, I guess that applies to both of them).

Won't you take me down, to the underground
Why oh why, there is no light
