Little Junior Brown that he played in "Kiss of Death" comes to my mind ...

That's the one! I forgot the name of the bloomin' film.
I think that was his best performance I've seen. I've still not watched Raising Arizona though. I really must get a copy of that film. And Kiss of Death.

IMDB has a pretty low rating for this movie; it's 5.9. But, I personally think that it's one of more entertaining movies featuring Nicolas Cage.

You know, I feel like I'm being a bit soft, but I loved The Family Man. The message of the movie itself isn't that original. There is no nudity, violence or cursing. It's one of plain family oriented movies. Yet, I think that it is so well done; I watched the movie when it came out, and I really enjoyed watching that movie.

Don't get me wrong, I like his movies, but he is a bit monotone in his performances. I guess it's a style that you either appreciate or don't, I wouldn't class him as a master of his art. But a lot of pop culture is better that way.

Lord of War is a strange one. He literally talks for the entire movie - every single second narrating, etc.
I forgot one I really liked from recent - national treasure was real good.
Lord of War didn't impress me that much. It wasn't exactly his acting that didn't impress me though.

i am not sure if there is any movie where one person has as many lines as Cage did in Lord of War. He is in every scene. he narrates on top of talking in every scene and he just keeps going and going.
I guess that the movie tried to make it look like a documentary? But the movie didn't look like it's a documentary, and I guess that that's the reason why I didn't feel that it's such a great movie.
