Movies so bad you couldn't even finish them

I don't know why so many people hate on Nic Cage. He is what he is: one of those actors who doesn't play roles, just plays himself. Are his movies Oscar-worthy? No. But they're always fun. "National Treasure", "Con Air", "The Rock", "Raising Arizona", etc.,.

I straight up thought he did well in Raising Arizona. Thought he was funny.

I like those first three. Never saw Raising Arizona. Thought he was good in Leaving Las Vegas. Had no problem with City of Angels though it's not really my style of movie even for a chick flick. I like him less in his more recent stuff -- Season of the Witch and Sorcerer's Apprentice.

Generally I like him though I agree he doesn't have great range. He's better than Costner or (God forbid) Keanu Reeves, both of whom are far, far worse.

Raising Arizona is a classic. Picture the vibe of O Brother Where Art Thou and The Big Lebowski, set in mid-80s, white trash Arizona. So many funny turns of
phrase, so many humorous situations.

Coen Brothers wrote the fact that Holly Hunter was barren as 'the doctor explained that her insides was a rocky place where my seed could find no purchase.'

You got that right, Baby Lee.

This is one of the funniest movie characters of all time, imo:

Yeah, I gotta see that, as well as Lord of War, which has somewhat mixed reviews but seems like the kind of movie I would like.

So you're more of a Nic Cage protector. . . .?

Seriously though, Cage is an actor capable of great work who often churns out some batshit cray-cray performances. He chases paychecks and that results in a lot of scenery chewing that doesn't make a lot of sense.
