Concerning Life as It Is Supposed to Be

Nicolas Cage

While the movie Knowing is on our minds, here is a question for you: what is your favorite Nicolas Cage movie?

I began scanning his IMDB filmography, and apart from being amazed at the diversity of his roles, noted a couple that I really liked… but one stands out as my favorite.

Of all he has done, what has been your favorite?

Later I’ll reveal mine.

    I would have to say that "Family Man" is probably my favorite of his movies. I generally like what I've seen that he's done, but looking at his bio reveals that there is much I've not seen. For those of you who are not familiar with "Family Man", think "It's a Wonderful Life" with a twist.

    "Gone In 60 Seconds," "Gone In 60 Seconds," "Gone In 60 Seconds," "Gone In 60 Seconds," "Gone In 60 Seconds," "Gone In 60 Seconds," "Gone In 60 Seconds," "Gone In 60 Seconds!!!!"That wasn't a typo, it really is that good. Some movies aren't "good," but they're really good at their genre, and this is a super heist/action movie.

    My favorite was the first National Treasure. His deadpan was hilarious and he totally reminded me of my cousin Brian!

    For pure entertainment and watchability (is that a word?) factor I am going to have to say "The Rock" if we are talking his best performance then "8MM". I am not a huge Nicolas fan because even though his roles are diverse he acts just about the same in most his movies.PS "Matchstick Men", "National Treasure" and "Bringing Out the Dead" almost made the list.

    Randy,I think my favorite Nicholas Cage film is one that is more obscure but one of my top 5 Christmas movies called "Trapped in Paradise." It also stars Jon Lovitz and Dana Carvey as they attempt to rob a small town bank and then feel really bad about it during Christmas time.
