The Best Nicolas Cage Films

Nicolas Cage is, admittedly, not for everyone. There are certain people that just don't get his brand of acting. For those of us that enjoy things that are good, Nic Cage is one of the best, hammiest, Shatner-esqe actor in film today.

Cage started out his career with small parts in movies like "Fast Times at Ridgemont" under his real name, Nicolas Coppola. (Yes, he is indeed the nephew of Francis Ford Coppola, but he didn't want to get by with just his family name so he changed it.) It might have taken him a few films, like "Moonstruck" and "Valley Girl", to find his niche, but he did eventually, and for that we thank him.

This list is for the best films starring Nicolas Cage, so feel free to vote up your favorite and add ones that are missed. Please note that this is not the movies that are the most Nicolas Cage-y. That is another list entirely.
