Nicholas Cage's Finest Performances In Years Past

By Adam Phillips


If you want to talk about prolific actors who continue to churn out movies year after year, Nicholas Cage has to be at the top of the list. Sure, the guy has found himself in financial difficulties, which may help to explain his current splurge of roles in a new movie almost every two months, but the guy can act and remains one of my favorite actors.

This article will highlight some of my favorite Nicholas Cage films of all time.

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.

No list of Nicholas Cage films would be complete without mentioning Adaptation. In Charlie Kaufman written script, Cage actually plays a pair of twins, one of which is humorously named Charlie Kaufman. This is a bizarre, yet incredibly enjoyable film.

Another movie of this great actor that I feel the need to mention is Matchstick Men. In this film Nicholas Cage plays a con artist who unexpectedly gets the surprise that he has a teenage daughter, whom he has to take under his wing.

Face Off is another movie that I certainly have to mention. Directed by John Woo, this movie stars Travolta and Cage as a cop and villain respectively, but then both undergo a series of operations to switch identities. Great action and fight scenes ensue.

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.

These are just some of the better films that Nicholas Cage has released in recent memory.
