No coherent top 10 for me but I'd just mention Racing With The Moon which is a really underappreciated, Birdy too. I love him in Joe though, that performance showed an impressive control with his more intuitive side just underneath.

Very happy with all the high marks for Matchstick Men and even happier no mentions of Moonstuck, where I thought he was atrocious. Not the biggest fan of his, but what I do like, I really love.
1. Bad Lieutenant. 2. Matchstick Men. 3. Adaptation. 4. Leaving Las Vegas. (after this it gets a little lumpy) Joe. Raising Arizona. Kick-Ass. Bringing Out the Dead. The Rock (sue me, it's a really good everyday-man action headliner). Lord of War.

even happier no mentions of Moonstuck, where I thought he was atrocious. I'll be honest, I desperately want to see the performance he had initially intended with the Marais voice.

In the first 3min he references Fritz Lang’s Metropolis, Cocteau’s Beauty & the Beast, and Woody Woodpecker!! Love his mention of Finney in Under the Volcano and his Vampire's Kiss comment "My favorite movie I've made by the way" lol. For a guy who's a workaholic, surprised he hasn't done anything long-form yet. Also for a guy so eccentric, specific and unique in his view of his own roles.....a lot of his projects (the VOD crap, etc) are really dull.... I mean you'd expect him to take more exotic or challenging roles and those just aren't there in his recent scattershot career, for the most part. He needs Frank or Francis to get funding or to take a role in a serious Western or something!

I've been wanting him to do a series for ages. I don't know if I could necessarily see Cage in a Western; there's something about him that feels far more modern than that, and any time that he's gone further back in time than, say, World War II, he's not really been the best fit. Maybe a neo-Western?

Maybe a neo-Western? Yes!! Fordlandia that’d be amazing. But um after he admitted to cursing out Herzog mayb Herzog is like “one Kinski was enough” lol. As for Westerns, I mean I think he’d really fit in a character role. Last year or so he was kinda boasting about donning an exact hat replica of Bronson’s from Once Upon/West. Haha. S Craig Zahler said he has another Western coming up *cough cough*

Raising Arizona (Coens - 1987) Vampire's Kiss (Robert Bierman - 1988) Wild at Heart (David Lynch - 1990) Leaving Las Vegas (Mike Figgis - 1995) Bringing Out the Dead (Martin Scorsese - 1999) Adaptation (Spike Jonze - 2002) World Trade Center (Oliver Stone - 2006)The Bad Lieutenant (Werner Herzog - 2009) Joe (David Gordon Green - 2013) Dog Eat Dog (Paul Schrader - 2016) Noone else mentioned World Trade Center. For all his panache, Cage can be quite the team player when he wants to be. Although most of his on-screen time is darkly lit and under rubble I think his perf is pretty underrated and effective - especially in how he uses vocal cadence to express the parched exhaustion and agony of the character. Also kind of a turning point for Cage in '06, WTC and Wicker Man were in theaters at the same time and his career choices afterward (closer to the latter) were much less indie and "prestige" stuff, more splashy and scattershot and easily ridiculed. No coincidence that his two best films since '06 also have his best perfs: Bad Lieutenant and Joe.

I haven't seen Joe and Lord of War, and I've checked rottentomatoes and almost everything he's done since Lord of War has been mostly rotten. So people do get excited when he has a film actually rated high by the tomameter.... Mandy for example, I haven't seen it though.
(I'm just gonna put every role of his I enjoyed to an extent.... which is about 10 or 11. First two rate at a 9.5, 3rd at a 9, 4th-7th at about an 8, maybe a few at an 8.5, and #8-10 would be at about a 7.5; could take or leave the rest as of right now)
1. Leaving Las Vegas 2. Matchstick Men 3. Adaptation. 4. Wild at Heart 5. Face/Off 6. City of Angels 7. Red Rock West 8. Bad Lieutenant 9. Knowing (mostly for Proyas, but I liked Cage, the movie, and Byrne) 10. Raising Arizona

I can see it. I saw Casablanca on the big screen a few weeks ago and it struck me how he utterly filled the screen and positively oozed out of it in a way no one else really can. Cage has a similar type of energy, albeit much less restrained.
