This week will see the release of the new Sion Sono directed Nicolas Cage starring post-apocalyptic sci-fi adventure thriller Prisoner of the Ghostland (see my Fantasia review here!) in theatres and on-demand. It’s a super weird film, and if you like weird Nicolas Cage, it probably has something for you.
Here are five more great Nicolas Cage performances in that same spirit and where you can buy, rent, or stream them from home.
As we’ve previously established, Nicolas Cage is one of our most idiosyncratic performers and one of our last true movie stars. Sion Sono is a Japanese filmmaker known for his subversive and idiosyncratic sensibilities. So what do you get when these two meet? A bonkers film, that’s what.
Nicolas Cage is something of an enigma. I don’t think that it is either surprising or a revelation to say that, but the man is one of the only true movie stars we currently have. He is known for his near-constant output as an actor, and for being willing to appear in just about anything. This volume of work is not always great (though it’s never exactly boring), but the one thing it accomplishes is that as a result we sometimes forget that he’s a really great actor.
In Pig, his latest film, he reminds us. Before I launch into this review, I should say this: Pig is one of my favourite movies of the year so far, and I firmly believe that you should see it as cold as possible.

Nicolas Cage envers stops working. It seems like he puts out a film a month or so which is how you end up with everything from Oscar worthy outings to, well, you know. Hayden Christensen hasn’t done a movie in ages and when he does he gets mixed reviews. Does this seem like a match made in heaven to you? Then you should probably watch this trailer for Outcast.

Oh man, and you thought the poster was amazing but he trailer leaves it behind. SEE WHAT I DID THERE?
Just look at it. It’s amazing. Nicholas Cage giving his Nicholas Cage Confused face as if to say “What letter does the list these people are on start with? Am I on that list now?” Look at the road run into the sea and head toward a burning city! Look how confused everyone looks!
This is the world we live in people. Nicholas Cage, an American Idol contestant, a TV famous guy, and two other people starring in the Hollywood adaptation of a best-selling Christian novel about the people left behind (aka, the people not good enough to get into heaven) when the rapture comes.
Amazing.
