Nicolas Cage is a legend of cinema, giving performances that challenge our understanding of the craft of acting, the rattle the limits of the human heart, and that never fail to be wildly entertaining. The glory of Cage cannot be contained in one genre, so this awe-striking actor has done everything from Oscar-winning drama, to outrageous action movies, quirky comedies, swooning romances, animated adventures, and unapologetically gruesome horror. But which of his many amazing movies is the best? Twitter considered.
Screenwriter Lauren Modery posed the question: What’s your favorite Nicolas Cage movie?

Martha Coolidge’s Valley Girl was dubbed totally tubular.
I fired this up for my college aged daughter to watch last summer & can report it still holds up.

No you're not! It's gotten a lot of votes. It is one of my fave as well b/c of Cage's vocal choice.

Raising Arizona is his best film for sure. But my favourite? There can only be one. pic.twitter.com/wkiGIlnf05

Con Air is perhaps the dumbest movie ever made and I love it so much.

I couldn’t believe how long I had to scroll before I saw Family Man! “Are you smacked out of your head?! I’m the richest man in the building! I have twice the square footage!”

Lots of great answers here, but I'm shocked Face/Off didn't get more love. It's a masterpiece. https://t.co/cZ6NulyWVP pic.twitter.com/Sr6l0EpTkc
