Top 5 Movies where Nicholas Cage Doesn't Annoy Me

I was talking to Nuke today and was mentioning about my favorite movies. Nuke said that he wouldn't ever be able to do a top 10 list, but instead he'd have to do categories. And then he proceeded to tell me some categories, such as "Top 5 Movies where you can Geek Out." That was one of my favorites. We spent a little more time coming up with possible "Top 5's", and then I decided I would do a weekly blog on this topic. So, each week I'll come up with a new top 5 list, some of which might be serious, and some of which won't be serious...like this one.

By the way, the best idea for a list came from my cube mate (yes, I'm an engineer in a cube). The Top 5 Movies where you could replace Keanu Reeves with C-3PO and nobody would mind.

Without further adieu, here are the Top 5 Movies where Nicholas Cage Doesn't Annoy Me (obviously, Cage has to be in the movie).

5. "Con-Air" - This is a testament to how annoying I find Nicholas Cage. This movie really shouldn't make any top lists, but Cage doesn't talk much and it has some good fight scenes. Plus they crash a C-130 onto the Vegas strip.

4. "National Treasure" - The original movie was good, but not as good as the sequel.

3. "National Treasure 2, Book of Secrets" - This is just a good time. Highly entertaining and they end up at Mt. Rushmore. I think this one actually rated out at 5 stars, which tells me even Nicholas Cage is capable of a good movie.

2. "Sorcerer's Apprentice" - My favorite movie of 2010. Cage is actually good as Balthazar Blake, but Jay Baruchel makes the movie. This was very close to being the top movie in this list. However, I can't move one of the 1990 classics off the list.

1. "The Rock" - Still the best Cage film. He's really good as Dr. Stanley Goodspeed...so many great one-liners. It doesn't hurt that Sean Connery is his co-star either. This is a great movie, probably in my top 20 of all time.

And, just so you know, there are 2 or 3 other movies that I didn't find Nicholas Cage annoying, but it was only 2 or 3 other movies. I'm sort of excited about "Season of the Witch" so we'll see if we can find another, non-annoying Cage role.
