Plenty of The Rock and Con Air mentions, so I’m going to toss one out for Gone in 60 Seconds.

Yes the writing is terrible and it has its fair share of cringe moments, but damnit I still like it. Perhaps it was the cast, or the weird 90’s/00’s aesthetic, or maybe because I was still in my formative teen years, pre 9/11, aka the before times, but it holds a special place in my heart.

+1 but for the Moby Soundtrack.

Matchstick Men anyone, or just me?

My wife and I watched Moonstruck for the first time and when she saw Cage her reaction was: “that’s Nic Cage? Wtf he’s so hot!” If you were Cher which brother would you choose? We all know it’s Cage

Con Air and Con Air

[–] andrewta@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The Rock and National Treasure

[–] swelter_spark@reddthat.com 4 points 2 days ago

Yeah, National Treasure was so good.

[–] BroBot9000@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

Definitely Raising Arizona and Con Air!

I feel like these are the kinds of conversations that should be happening in the movie communities instead of just corporate greed post after corporate greed post.

Vampire’s Kiss

[–] FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au 9 points 2 days ago

The Rock. Peak cage, Connery being great, and an amazing setting.

Wallys wonderland

He did not speak a single word, but cage beat the living crap out of some robots.

Leaving Las Vegas. It's beautiful and heartbreaking.

[–] steeznson@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Best movie I'll never watch again

[–] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Leaving Las Vegas.

…just kidding. That movie was depressing as fuck.

Raising Arizona was his best movie.

[–] Libra@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 days ago

Raising Arizona. It's just a wild ride start to finish. Also like Con Air.

[–] fiendishplan@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Pig! It's just a great movie.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 2 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I really need to watch that.

Pig. It was INCREDIBLY emotionally effective and made me cry SO HARD FOR LIKE 20 MINUTES. Holy shit what a good movie.

Raising Arizona or Wild At Heart

Adaptation, because it’s more Nic Cage!

[–] Usernameblankface@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Ghost rider, for the mayhem and lots of fire everywhere!

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago

Depends on my mood. Either Color Out of Space, or The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
