Ranking the MOST Nicolas Cage Moments In Nicolas Cage Movies Of All Time!

Can you quote the most iconic scene

Just the not the bees! Not the bees! Not the bees! Not the bees

Now today, Mikaela, we're going to be ranking in honor of the newly released movie, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent

our top five favorite Nicolas Cage performances. Yes. So what's your number five

My number five is Spider-Man Noir and Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse. When they're introducing all of the other Spider-Men

they introduce his character, and it's like, he's basically this kind of like old-timey detective in the 1930s

It's 1933, and I'm a private eye. And then this is the line where I was like

okay, that's one of the best lines, performance ever. Sometimes I let matches burn down to my fingertips

just to feel something, anything. And it's like, okay. You knew that you were gonna have to get Nick Cage

when you wrote that line, because no one else can say, feel something, anything

He's not so much of a voice actor as a lot of actors who have those distinct voices and stuff

but he is someone that the second he is voicing over anything, you're like, oh, that's Nick Cage

What is your number five? Have you ever seen The Wicker Man? I have not, but I've seen the scene

that I think you're going to be talking about. The best way I saw it described was, it's so bad, it's good

I really do love movies like that, where it's like, it's really not good, but you can't take your eyes off of it

He punches women like three times. Yes. This movie very many times yells at people

in his very Nick Cage way. How'd it get burned? How'd it get burned? How'd it get burned

Can you quote the most iconic scene? Just the, not the bees

Not the bees! Not the bees! Ahhhhh! And he says the greatest one ever, which is

Killing me won't bring back your goddamn honey! What's your number four? Okay, so my number four is Benjamin Franklin Gates

from National Treasure. My number four is also National Treasure. This is one of the best movies ever

This is one of the best, I think, franchises for him. But I associate him with this franchise

when I think of Nick Cage. This is him basically being Indiana Jones There a lot in this movie that I absolutely love They really tied together the Gates family backstory of they were sort of accused of betraying Abraham Lincoln

and they're accused of being involved in the Lincoln assassination. They somehow make stuff that was going on

in the Revolutionary and Civil War personal. And this movie, you know it's gonna be

just a bad movie from the start. They're in Antarctica, they find this sunken ship

Nicolas Cage comes down, he reads basically like a really tough crossword clue

The iron pen. It was firm. It was adamant. It was resolved

And he somehow ties it to the Declaration of Independence and the Freemasons. And they need to steal the Declaration of Independence

Steal the Declaration of Independence. My number three is Big Daddy in Kick-Ass

which is a surprisingly awesome movie. He plays the funniest character ever

He plays Big Daddy, basically a Batman ripoff. Why this is one of his best performances

is he's at the same time this kind of like psychopath, deadly assassin, and two, this like really wonderful father

The scene that really makes it is when he and Kick-Ass are tied up and they're about to be assassinated

and I'm allowed to be, and Hit-Girl comes to save them. And right as she's about to free them

the bad guy is basically a light Nicolas Cage on fire. His daughter sees this and shouts, no

His voice goes into an octave. We didn't know he could register. I know. He then screams in a high-pitched voice

take cover child! Like he stretches child, take cover child! And then he's basically giving her directions

what to do and he goes. And he dies, I remember like

I wish this character didn't die because this is the movie. This is the best part of, he's big daddy

Like he's just so good. That's my number three. What's your number three? My number three is gone in 60 seconds

Just this one scene is actually a scene that I've seen a million times because I think it is one of the all time Nick Cage scenes So they all ready to go like steal I think the plot like 50 cars or something like that And Nick Cage just looks to one of the guys and he goes Donnie Lowrider Wait Lowrider the one Yeah it the George Lopez song Low. Riiiider. Riiiider

Ride a little slower. It's just a great scene, because he's like, and everyone in the room is kind of like

okay, and he does this little Nick Cage thing with his jazz fingers. And I just think that's one of the best Nick Cage scenes of all time

It's to the point where you start to wonder, like, are you just like this in real life

Anyway, Nicholas Cage is awesome. What's your number two? So my number two is Lieutenant Terrence McDonough

from the movie Bad Lieutenant, Port of Call, New Orleans. This is the movie that when people watch

everybody's seen the like 20 minutes of Nick Cage freaking out. Half of those clips are from this movie

He plays a detective in the police who's, the title says it all, he's a bad lieutenant

He's basically trying to solve this case. He's also addicted to crack

Is this the movie where the guy dies and he sees the guy break dancing? Yes. Yes

He's with the drug dealer, played by Xzibit. They kill the other people at the drug deal

And when they're like, okay, we're good, he goes, no, no, no. Shoot him again. What? Fool

His soul's still dancing. They then pan over and there's just a guy break dancing

My favorite line though in the whole thing is he's doing some crack with Xzibit

And then he says, like, you ever heard of this, the guy? He landed again, he ran, ran, ran

He scored a touchdown. It's supposed to touch down! Like what the f***? What's your number two

My number two is actually kick ass. For the exact same reason of that ending scene where he's sitting in the chair, fire

The way he's acting while he's on fire is just such an incredible choice by him

because any other movie or scene where like someone's on fire, you're screaming bloody murder

He's still kind of acting or he's like, get out of it! Take a couple shots

It sort of the scenes where it like my instinct is to cry right now because like the whole movie he this good dad He teaching her you know you got to save people and all these things That my girl So it supposed to be this like sad scene

But then when he opens his mouth, you kind of have to giggle a little bit. That movie is unbelievable

Super good. What's your number one? My number one, I don't even have to look, is Cameron Poe from the movie Con Air

This movie is my favorite of all the plots. This movie is they're transporting prisoners on a plane

He's Cameron Poe, a military vet. For some reason, the director looked

Nicolas Cage and his receding hairline that's probably even worse than mine and was like

what if we just like let it all grow out? Do you think you could look like a Disney prince? Like

we got to like the prince charming length. It's just hilarious to think that for this movie they

definitely were like, well Nick Cage is a sex symbol. The women will come to see this. Like he's

like George Clooney or something. He plays a southern man this time. He has the many great

lines like the, give me back that bunny. Put the bunny back in the box. Because he gets his daughter

a stuffed bunny and he really almost like risks his life many times instead of just thinking I could get another bunny really great movie

This is one of those movies where it's like yeah, it's flawed. You kind of can't stop watching

Yeah, it's safe to say most of his movies are like this. So my number one is actually face-off

There's a million scenes where Nick Cage is being Nick Cage while also being John Travolta You know there's layers to this character that he plays

But just the opening scene alone of when he comes out and does this whole like priest thing

He makes so many great faces, the like head like thing he does when he comes out Yeah

Like comes like drops a little chorus book from the girl Your voice makes even a hack like a handle

That whole thing is just such a weird limber Nick Cage thing that is just like the face he makes when he grabs her ass

And that's why I'm like I just had to put it at number one is because I just feel like I've seen that face so many times

I think you know that I should have made this my number one too It's such a strong opening scene. I love it
