    Lord of War

    Here’s the intro to Lord of War. I love the little smirk he pulls off at about 45s.

    The Rock and Con Air are tied for me. Con Air’s cast is star studded and Nic Cage with a southern accent is fantastic.

    “Put the Bunny back in the box.”

    “The color from outer space”

    His slow descent into madness is great. It’s like him turning the Cage knob very slowly from 0 to 11.

    Also imo the best Lovecraft adaption.

    Edit: “Color out of Space” is the correct title. Thanks to the commenter below.

          I watched this in theater. It was very late and there was only one other group of people. During the film one of them loudly said something like “what the fuck is this shit” and they walked out pretty early.

          I guess it’s not for everyone.

              I think the color had just shown up. It’s been a while, I don’t remember specifics that well. The movie was great though and the encounter was so funny we didn’t mind it.

      Pig is a masterclass in not telling the audience more than they absolutely need to know. I’ve gotten so sick of movies where the dialog repeats itself for the benefit of people who weren’t paying attention thirty seconds ago, or else it constantly spells out stuff that rightly ought to be conveyed by the actions of the characters. Pig is the antithesis of that. Characters hardly say anything that they don’t need to say, and everything else is left to the viewer to figure out. I fucking love it.

    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.
