Nic Cage sucks. He's a cheesy, over the top style actor.

Loving the lists by some of you.

Like him as an actor, but as a person, he's a flaming a-hole. He was the first king who was almost kicked out of Bacchus for being all coked up the whole time. He pissed off a ton of folks in N.O. that wkend. Too, he was arrested for causing disturbances in the neighborhood where he lived in N.O not that long ago. He's also filed for bankruptcy & as a result, has "legally" screwed over a lot of people to whom he owned money.

you listed like 30 movies and still left out one of his best:

Knowing

you thought I was gonna say Leaving Las Vegas didnt you!

and there are roles that you actually need that, and when you do, Cage is your guy!

Cage needs to pivot his career and start taking the Tommy Lee Jones like roles, he's too old and weird to take on most leading man roles now but he can still deliver the weird-odd performance with the best of em.

I assume you're a member of Bacchus. Was John C Reilly an a-hole? I had someone who knows him from film productions tell me that he was a complete a-hole and acts like a spoiled child on movie sets. Curious about his behavior as King of Bacchus.

did anyone ever see the interview with john travolta(i think it was on inside the actor's studio) where he was recalling a conversation with nic cage and hilariously imitating him? i've tried to find it on youtube but have been unable to locate it.

He is in a ton of movies. I just tried to pick out the best ones. I forgot Kingsman too. It's weird that Cage gets so much crap for making tons of movies. When Samuel L. Jackson makes just as many, if not more..
