Nicholas Cage's Best Role

[Kuceman]

We all know that Nick Cage has to be one of the most actors of our time. He's had many diverse roles, some good some bad. But let's focus on which one is his best one.

Which role out of all of the roles in his career do you believe is his best? I believe his best role has to be Fu Manchu in Werewolf Women of the S.S. Many actors over the years have played the character but none have done it so well as he did. Even though it's for a few seconds he leaves a huge impression. A close second is H.I. from Raising Arizona. Nobody could ever play this weird character the way Cage does.

Ghost Rider, ConAir, Adaptation, or Raising Arizona... all for completely different reasons.

I liked him in Lord of War, in spite of the fact that I find myself to seemingly be the only person on the planet who has this opinion...

I thought he was alright in it. Thought the movie was alright in general.

I really can't think of a Nicholas Cage best role. I hear Leaving Las Vegas may be his best role (though that might be his Oscar getting waved in my face). Face/Off is one I liked him in.

Bad Lieutenant hands down. Nick Cage is always great when he's having fun on set and you could tell he had a blast working on that film. On the other hand, he's horrible when he's bored with the role. The recent Sorcerer's Apprentice is an example of such a situation.

Vampire's Kiss.

[TwilitWing]

National Treasure. Watched the movie 50+ times. Never gets old.

[Kuceman]

Not Astroboy.

I have to say and emphatic,"I AGREE!"

Big Daddy.
Personally, I think he kept me from walking out of the theatre on that one.
