There seems to be no middle-ground. His movies are either brilliant, or incredibly irrelevant, vomit-inducing refuse. Case-in-point: Brilliant Movies: Adaptation Raising Arizona Lord of War The Weatherman Red Rock West Movies worse than Raw Sewage: Face-Off Con-Air Ghost Rider The Wicker Man Windtalkers Gone in 60 Seconds National Treasure Next ...And pretty much everything else he's done The "Nicolas Cage Phenomenon" is, I believe, the pressure some actors feel to keep working, even if they've already achieved substantial success. It's that fear of fading into obscurity that keeps actors acting, even if the job is less than desirable. I think Cage was very good in Adaptation and especially Raising Arizona, but I can see how it might be difficult to turn down major Hollywood offers like Con-Air or Gone in 60 Seconds if given the chance. Too bad everyone can't be like Gary Oldman or Daniel Day-Lewis. The “Nicolas Cage phenomenon” is the plague of many hollywood actors. There seems to be no middle-ground. His movies are either brilliant, or incredibly irrelevant, vomit-inducing refuse. Case-in-point:

Brilliant Movies:

Adaptation
Raising Arizona
Lord of War
The Weatherman
Red Rock West

Movies worse than Raw Sewage:

Face-Off
Con-Air
Ghost Rider
The Wicker Man
Windtalkers
Gone in 60 Seconds
National Treasure

…And pretty much everything else he’s done

The “Nicolas Cage Phenomenon” is, I believe, the pressure some actors feel to keep working, even if they’ve already achieved substantial success. It’s that fear of fading into obscurity that keeps actors acting, even if the job is less than desirable. I think Cage was very good in Adaptation and especially Raising Arizona, but I can see how it might be difficult to turn down major Hollywood offers like Con-Air or Gone in 60 Seconds if given the chance. Too bad everyone can’t be like Gary Oldman or Daniel Day-Lewis.

You know those two guys? They're both Hannah Montana. "Hannah Montana" is an anagram for "JOHN WILKES BOOTH". Hannah Montana invented Cirque du Soleil. Listen. And understand. Hannah Montana is out there. She can't be bargained with. She can't be reasoned with. She doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And she absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead. (It is a well known fact that Hannah Montana is a terminator sent back through time to kill the Conners, but malfunctioned and broke into show business) Oh, and she's also the terror that lives within the Chamber of Secrets Hannah Montana wrote “Ice Ice Baby”

I love Raising Arizona, Birdy, Peggy Sue. And then he made the absolute worst movie ever. And got a goddamn Oscar for it. Apparently that convinced him that crappy movies were the way to go, although he'd have to explore Hitler's sensitive side or something to really sink to the depths of Leaving Las Vegas again, so the second Oscar still eludes him. Wait, just looking at the IMDb, Matchstick Men and Adaptation were great movies. What's going on with this guy? I haven't felt this confused since I found out I wasn't gay. In other news, Hannah Montana killed Laura Palmer. I useta like Nic Cage. I love Raising Arizona, Birdy, Peggy Sue. And then he made the absolute worst movie ever. And got a goddamn Oscar for it.
