Any time I talk about some of my favorite actors, one person that I always feel the need to mention is Nicholas Cage. Nicholas Cage may not be the best actor per se, but I always find him to be entertaining, and in general, I feel that he usually picks good scripts to star in.
For whatever the reason, here are my personal favorite Nicholas Cage films in recent memory.
The first film that I will mention is The Rock. Where do I start with this movie? This film is everything that I miss about awesome 90s action flicks. Quotable lines, awesome action, chases, explosions and the perfect amount of humor mixed in.
Plain and simple there would not be a Fast And Furious franchise without its predecessor, Gone In 60 Seconds. Nicholas Cage was the man in this high speed action film (no pun intended). Paul Walker, Vin Diesel, Michele Rodriguez and Jordana Brewster all owe whatever careers they have to Nicholas Cage and crew for this one.
A movie that came out earlier this year (2010) that was incredibly enjoyable was Kickass. Nicholas Cage played a superhero in this film, but one thing I loved about this marketing campaign was that it never credited Cage as being the star of the film.
Another great film of his that happened to be released in the 1990s was Face Off. This movie stars Cage and John Travolta in an incredibly original plotline, which I will not give away, but is definitely worth seeing if you like action films.
On the softer side of things, one film of his that I really enjoyed was It Could Happen To You. I normally am not a fan of romantic dramas, but this film felt real and was a feel good movie. This one definitely has my seal of approval.
Hopefully there are one or more films on this list from this incredibly prolific actor that you have yet to see.
