    Honorable mention for 8mm. It isn’t a good movie, unless you go for the very 1999 aesthetics. But I’ll give a shout-out to that quote delivered by Joaquin Phoenix: “If you dance with the devil, the devil don’t change. The devil changes you.”

      If you lived near me we could have a few beers and watch it. Sad that they destroyed so many Mustangs though.

    The Color Out of Space, I think he does really well in that and it’s scary as fuck.

    The Wicker Man, because of the scene with the bees is priceless.

    And of course, Mandy. I will not elaborate further, just watch it.

    I laughed my arse off at ‘The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent’. A classic farce like you don’t get much these days.

      This is actually the only Nic Cage movie I like because I can’t stand him, but my love for Pedro outweighs my dislike for Nic Cage.

        It’s weird how polarising he is. I wouldn’t say I’m a ‘fan’ as such, but I do think he’s one of the most remarkable and fun to watch actors ever. Every role he puts in 1000%.

          Oh I agree 100%. I know I said I can’t stand him and that’s true, I generally don’t like to watch his movies, but full respect to whatever the fuck it is he is doing.

          The other one I like with him is Willy’s Wonderland, but he doesn’t say a single word in it so that might help with the tolerance. (The movie is just well done in general too)

    Depends on my mood. Either Color Out of Space, or The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent

    Face/Off. Golden desert eagles, Nic Cage at his cagiest, John Travolta and Nic Cage swapping bodies, legitimately great action scenes, and Nic Cage grabbing a woman’s ass while wearing a priest costume. Just an incredible movie.
