The 5 Worst Nicholas Cage Films of All Time

I found Next quite entertaining, and NT1 & NT2BOS aren't all that bad. At least the last two are watchable when you have young children over, all the while being quite exciting and adventurous.

But I didn't get The Wicker Man. It's just not that fun watching a decent guy being figuratively raped by a whole secluded island village. In real life all those people should get shot.

And Ghost Rider... well no argue there. Back in the day the trailer made a great promise... but in fact Nic isn't believable as a teenage daredevil biker trying to kill the demon-mouseketeer-idiotic-filmmaker-from-american-beauty-gay-boy-who-thinks-he's-all-that. For that matter the demon idiot was a mistake also. But the movie as a whole sucked balls.

That said, I don't think Nic deserves all the bad credit. He's better at making choices concerning roles than say: Wesley Snipes, Stephen Dorff or Val Kilmer. Not bad actors, mind you, but bad choice makers!

So on behalve of Nic, go screw the other actors, worth screwing.

"Bless me, Father, for I have just killed quite a few men."

To the original poster, did you see his "The Bad Lieutenant" film? I guess not else I feel it would be at the top of your list. It was only the second film I ever walked of, and I see on average three a month in the theatre and have been doing so for over a quarter century. Quite horrible.

Nonsense. Nicholas Cage has never made a bad movie. He is one of the greatest actors that ever lived. Witness his tour-de-force performance in "Face Off". If "Heaven's Gate" would've starred Cage, it would have been a box office smash.

I did think "The Wicker Man" was an odd role for him, and he played it in a particularly unusual fashion. But that really doesn't matter, because the whole film's point is to blatantly make a politically incorrect statement without actually having to state it. And if you can't figure out what it was, then you didn't watch the film, or at least watch it very closely.

"Mediocre Marx Brothers is better than no Marx Brothers!"

If I may, I'd like to remove your #5 and replace it with:

Knowing (2009)

I've been going to movies for a long time and quite often lately, and this is the only film I have ever forgotten existed after viewing. I really could not remember seeing it last year or if it was just a dream (Albeit a bad one) when my brother brought it over on DVD later on. It had promise from the previews, but then just fell apart on me. I barely even remember the premise while writing this haha.





"End of Line"

I agree with every one of theese except national treasure
I actually loved the first one, but I did hate the second. My only thoughts watching the second one: Thsis is stupid

Ya the guy has had few duds but when that thought enters your head go watch "The Rock" followed by ConAir.

Your Best? Losers always whine about thier best, winners go home and *beep* the prom queen.

I thought he was on a come-back with Bad Lieutenant: New Orleans. It really showed his quirky style, like he was originally known for twenty years back. I love Red Rock West, that's a good one. Wasn't there going to be a spin-off of Con-Air with Cusack?
