How Nicolas Cage Became Hollywood’s Punching Bag

Cage is a GOAT!

Considering the acclaim he's gotten from some more recent roles like Longlegs and The Unbearable weight of massive talent...he's really reached by Cult classic status

Raising Arizona was the last good film Cage made.

Nic Cage always delivers love that guy.

Cage is a great actor I know the comments have established that. The reason I enjoy his movies is because I saw most of his films at an early age. The first being national treasure when I was probs still a kid. I knew he was a well known actor at the time, but it took me a bit of time to actually watch a lot of his 90’s movies. Mostly tho faceoff, leaving Las Vegas, and raising Arizona are my top cage movies, but yes I enjoyed his performances in both national treasure movies along with ghost rider (well only the first one because the second wasn’t very good) to this day buddy had been a gem

I would put Cage's energy, work ethic, role commitment, and acting range up against anybody else's in Hollywood.

I got to meet him in vegas he was really nice he even liked it when I said to him to could've been a great superman and when I got a photo with him I made it into a t-shirt and put it on my birthday cake (yesterday)

I own Face/Off.

Just look up Abed talking about Nic Cage from the show Community. It's even better if you watch the whole episode, Introduction to Teaching. Season 5 episode 2. A perfect summation.

Nicolas Cage is the greatest actor of all times, bar none.

Still think he is one of the best actors ever! He reminds of Christopher Lee a great brave and fearless actor who always gives his best no matter what the quality of the movie is

Don't forget Snake Eyes and 8mm. Two of his more underrated films in my opinion. Wild at Heart is probably my favorite though if I had to choose.

No joke, Nick Cage is my favourite actor of all time. It might sound strange to say but I don’t really care for actors but he’s one of the very few that I’d genuinely want to meet.
He seems like such a misunderstood dude.

I feel sorry for Nicholas Cage, he does have alot of hilarious moments in film. Though he can be hammy a bit the way he talks.

He calls his acting style "nouveau shamanism"

Nic Cage in Longlegs is ironically his most subdued performance. He is a legend and never half asses it. Gotta respect that.

Mandy was a great role

Nico is a turd

He's a top notch actor damn whatever the peanut gallery has to say

One thing he hadn’t seen at the time of his Reddit AMA was the “I’m a sexy cat!” Scene from Community.

Poor Nicole cage I like him 😮😟😔

Nicky has been and will always be a surrealist actor. Some get it, most don't. 'Raising Arizona' wins all.

Gareth Edwards' "GODZILLA II"?

So to summarize:

- Changed his name to avoid piggyback off his famous family and instead make his own way in the business.
- 100% commits himself to every role, no matter the budget, for the entertainment of his audience.
- Spent the GDP of a small country on ridiculously cool shit like a T-Rex skull.
- Refused to file bankruptcy and instead owned his mistake by putting in the work to grind his way out of debt.
- Not politically preachy, snobishly elitist or(as far as we know) a p*d*phile.

In other words, Nic Cage is a goddamned legend.

Cage is fantastic.

I will forever be a Nick Cage fan because of Ghost Rider 🔥 he is not an actor, he is an experience

The last Nick Cage film I’ve watched was the Sorcerers Apprentice. Since then I just don’t care for his later films.

The Original Plans for Pirates Of The Caribbean 5

Cage has been one of my favorite actors ever since I was a kid, and the meme-ification, irony poisoned discourse around him as a bad actor pisses me off.

Do you think any of these people have seen Leaving Las Vegas, Moonstruck, Joe, Pig, Raising Arizona, Wild At Heart, etc?

My boy loves comics and he’s Superman, spider-man noir, big daddy, and ghostrider. Mad respect for a fellow comic lover

Protect Nic Cage at all costs

I find it odd how people mock some of his best moments. His Ghost Rider transformation was actually scary to some kids (me) and his insane screaming in Mandy was amazing. It's up to interpretation I guess.

u could say he is always gone in 60 seconds

I met Nic Cage and shot a picture of me standing next to him. It took place at the Red carpet premiere of the movie Mandy. I have a ton of pictures from when I attended that red carpet premiere if anybody ever wanted to see these pictures.

Knowing killed his credibility and it was down hill from there .

Nic Cage going bananas always makes my day.

Nick cage is still a great actor the national treasure movies were cool as a kid, Ghost Rider holds up to this day

《All Hail The Cage!!!!》

🤘🤘😎👍👍

~The Prince
~The Gunslsingers
~The Carpenter's Son
~Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse

...these are the only four movies i'm looking forward to this year.

He was fantastic in Guarding Tess and he w
As unrecognizable in Longlegs. He was terrifying and should've won an oscar.

I NEVER MISFILED ANYTHING! NOT ONCE! NOT ONE TIME!

I never saw Cage as a Joke, even before learning why he did so many movies. He always still puts in a great performance.

Any bad movie he is in. The reason it even gets 1 star is because of him. He is a legend.

He's either the greatest actor in history, or the worst, and I can't tell.

You forgot all about Raising Arizona.

There's only one Nic Cage.

Bringing out the Dead, Lord of War, Drive Angry, Snake Eyes and Bad Lieutenant are under rated Cage gems.

The most problematic thing with TUWOMT is the portrayal of his wife as a white woman around his age.
