Nicolas Cage Birthday: What's His Best Bad Movie?

On Jan. 7, 1964, Nicolas Kim Coppola was produced in Extended Beach, Calif. to August Coppola and Pleasure Vogelsang. To avoid the feel of nepotism (that Coppola surname is people Coppolas Nicolas is Francis Ford's nephew), the little one changed his surname to Cage a while after he began acting. 48 years later, Cage has won an Oscar, starred in enough terrible movies to latter careers ('Season in the Witch,' Ghost Rider' plus much more), which is famous enough to experience a running parody of themselves on 'Saturday Evening Live.' Very good, Nic! But what's his best bad movie? Good question! Cage can be a schlockmeister extraordinaire, but picking the most effective of his worst can be a struggle. First, what counts pretty much as good bad? Does 'The Rock'? (It doesn't, blasphemers it's just good.) Does 'Con Air'? (It probably doesn't either?) Does 'Bad Lieutenant: The avenue for call New Orleans' qualify? Or 'Trespass'? Possibly 'The Wicker Man'? OK, well that 4g apple iphone certainly isn't the solution. 'The Wicker Man' is not good bad. Comically bad. To refresh your memory about its badness, watch the amusing clip below, then weigh-in: what's the best bad Nicolas Cage movie? Champion can get inside the Cage?
