Leaving Las Vegas is probably the worst movie ever made.

Unfathomable how a person can think Adaptation is less serious than Wild at Heart and Raising Arizona.

Nic Cage chart makers need to step up their game. This is important stuff.

I assume Adaption is in the mental/brilliant quadrant because it has Cage playing two people and often interacting with "himself."

Been quite a few years since I've seen that flick.

It's next to Adaptation.

True, but it's ultimately a fairly serious movie.

I guess the problem is that mental and serious aren't at all each other's polar opposites.


I'm enjoying this Nic Cage chart discussion, folks.

Valley Girl is actually my favorite Cage movie =\


No scratch that, Raising Arizona. But Valley Girl is a close second.

This needs to be bigger and in higher res so I can use it as my desktop background.

First thing that stuck out to me, too. Wild At Heart and Raising Arizona Cage are far more mental than the neurotic wallflower he played in Adaptation.

:D

Charts are very handy. Just ask Michele Bachmann.

The ratings of his movies aren't based on general movie consensus, it's based on Nicholas Cage. Just imagine his face in the middle and it makes more sense.

I agree with everything except putting the first National Treasure below the average line and into rubbish. That film was high-end, b-movie fun.

But props for having Adaptation at the very top.

Ok we can disagree about the Brilliant/Rubish axis, but is there any argument about the Serious/Mental line?

I enjoyed Knowing. It was alike watching a B-Movie with a great budget. Not knowing anything about it before seeing it made the twist pretty enjoyable.

I'm watching The Bad Lieutenant right now on Netflix. Cage is great so far, Val needs more screen time, and Eva Mendez needs to shutup and get nekkid. Also, what's the deal with the random reptile cam? The iguana sequence had me cracking up.
