So while delivering the mail I started thinking of Nic Cage movies and it left me wondering, is he really a good or bad actor? I love a lot of his films. But I also hate a lot of his films. I opened debate on my Facebook to see, but I figured I'd bring the debate here too. So your thoughts? Please plead your case with details, examples, and maybe some clips.

Good. It's the cool thing, to dislike him and his movies. But like you said, he's good in a lot of films. "Bringing Out the Dead" comes to mind. He is a good actor that has been in more than his fair share of weak films.

His movies have been awful for a while, but I can admit I like some of his older ones.

is it possible for him to be both?
I've seen him knock it out of the park in some movies, but just phone it in in others.

Love Nic Cage. Bad Lieutenant POC New Orleans is a great performance. And Face/Off is boss.  |

I'd be lying if I said this episode isn't where I got the idea in my head.... |

I honestly think he's so good at acting that his sometimes bad acting is just an act.

Love Nic Cage. Bad Lieutenant POC New Orleans is a great performance. And Face/Off is boss. Bad Lieutenant is one of Americas greatest gifts to cinema. The touching scene when he threatens to shoot an elderly woman is fabulous. |

Loved him in(probably forgetting some great stuff) Bringing Out the Dead The Rock Face Off Con Air Leaving Las Vegas Kick Ass Raising Arizona But f*ck me he has been in a TON of sh*te too.....and he was 1 million% the wrong choice to play Johnny Blaze in GR. I know he was a fan.....I know he wanted to play him.....I know he waved some wages to get FX shots done but Christ. cage as Blaze killed the movie stone dead. The Wicker man and GR II are two of the worst movies I have ever seen considering the casts in them.....GOOD GRIEF. |

I honestly think he's so good at acting that his sometimes bad acting is just an act. This is pretty much it. I think he's stellar. And on his death bed one day, he's going to admit that he knew all along which movies would be terrible -- so he decided to just f*** around and be terrible in them. Not only may he end up being the greatest actor of all time, enough to make you believe he could be a BAD one... But the best prankster in Hollywood history. |

Watch "Joe" and tell me Nicholas Cage is a bad actor.
