Yea there are some crappy ones but I still watch them anyway. He has made a a lot of good movies in my opinion too and a lot of them have already been mentioned here. I have to agree with Bringing out the dead was a great movie, a bit wired but good none the less

Excellent team-up with Sean Connery there, and one of the few Michael Bay movies that gets anywhere without an explosion every ten seconds.

Last week we watched Zandalee, one of his earlier movies with Judge Reinhold. Who in their right mind doesn’t enjoy seeing someone smear themselves in black paint while yelling “BLACK IT OUT, BLACK IT OUT!”? No one that who. Wicker man is a classic too.

In fact just watch this:

Honestly, the worse he is, the better. That said, he is capable of genuinely good performances – he just chooses to be in popcorn flicks because they’re more fun.

I’d like to second Lord of War and Adaptation, and I can’t believe Wild at Heart isn’t getting more love, so I’d like to recommend it an additional 5 times.

You should see Wild at Heart.
You should totally see Wild at Heart.
What about Wild at Heart?
Wild at Heart, dude. Wild at freakin’ Heart.
Hey, Wild at Heart’s also got a supremely creepy Willem Defoe.

Then watch Season of the Witch to confirm your original opinion.

There is a theory that there are no good actors, only good editors. I don’t think that always applies (although I was surprised how often it did), I would say Nic Cage is one of those actors. He’s only done well in movies with good directors (as someone else said). I think the only director who understands him as he is now is Werner Herzog, who fantastically manipulated his insane-ness for hilarity in Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans.

But back on topic, I think bad and good actor are thrown around a lot, when a lot of “good acting” comes straight form the editing room. I’ve seen it done, too, on some more indipendant projects around my school. No one can act all that well, but man some people can edit!

That isn’t to say there aren’t good actors, though.

The guy is a terrible actor who has no control of his range, he’s just another star thrust into the spotlight because of nepotism and he lets that huge ego go to his head despite the lack of talent. Nic can do nothing but act like an idiot or scream like a banshee on screen. Why don’t you watch “Vampires Crypt” which not only is one of the worst films of all time (it’s honestly so bad it’s good) it shows why Nic Cage should be retired from movies forever.

Thats another good one. Directed by Spike Jonze and he plays Charlie Kaufman/ Donald Kaufman.
