I think he should transition from those terrible leading roles he's getting too old for, to better supporting roles. I think that Cage could do wonders for a film if you didn't make his name have to carry the straight to DVD trash they're producing. I also suspect he'd do amazingly if somebody like HBO made a show for him. He has the charisma to carry as a front runner.
As for favorite film, I loved him in Kiss of Death where he plays some coked up body builder who's connected to the mob and beats some guy to a pulp with his bare hands. That was a crazy film.
Couldn't agree with you more actually, Alternative. I would be very interested in a HBO made show with him as a major role - assuming the premise works -, and I agree that if he transitioned more to supporting roles - and perhaps became a tad more discerning with the roles he takes, see Nevyn's video above lol - he could certainly help a movie reach another level. Like I said above, he never sleeps through a movie, even in awful films you know you're going to get Cage, but like you said you're just not sure which side of him you'll get, which still keeps you guessing. He's somewhat unique in the acting world, which is after all a great selling point to have.
Never seen Kiss of Death, but he does seem to enjoy playing coke fiends/druggies/mentally insane roles for sure. That was a crazy film, will probably be Nicholas Cage's epithet tbh!
Lady Bliss, love Gone in 60 Seconds, seen it soooo many times, still enjoy it. It's just good fun. Still get a chuckle out of Vinnie Jones' monologue at the end lol
Honey Cups, I think I've seen City of Angels before, but it was also in a youtube video for a song I used to listen to alot when I was younger - song cut to random scenes ya know the sort of thing - so I'm actually not sure.
