With a Cage Factor of 5, this one barely missed the cut. He plays a man who gets conned into cleaning up a cursed Chuck E. "Willy's Wonderland" ( Hulu): I don't think Cage speaks at all in this 2021 horror action film, yet he gets most of the screen time."The Wicker Man" ( $3 to rent on YouTube): The critics also panned "The Wicker Man" ( 15%), a remake of a 1973 horror movie, but I find it engaging and love Cage's performance.Unfortunately, the Tomatometer got it wrong ( 40%). "Snake Eyes" ( Showtime): Again, magic happens when Cage works with a great director.That's just what "Raising Arizona" is, yet Cage is just a little too subdued to score high on the Cage Factor (5). "Raising Arizona" ( $4 to rent on Amazon Prime Video): When you put Cage in a Coen Brothers' film, you're going to get a masterpiece.
"Face/Off" ( $4 to rent on Amazon Prime Video): Cage is great in this, the critics love it, but it just has too many plot holes for me to give it a high rating. "Deadfall" ( Amazon Prime Video with MovieSphere add-on): Cage's character in this pulpy, 0%-Tomatometer film is so flamboyant that he played the same role in a totally different movie (Arsenal) 24 years later. This is one of director Martin Scorsese's most underappreciated works. Cage plays an overworked EMT in NYC during the early '90s. "Bringing out the Dead" ( $4 to rent on Amazon Prime Video): My low Cage Factor score (4) kept this film off the main list, but it's still a great movie. It's based on the true story of Gary Faulkner (Cage), an unemployed handyman who believes God (Russell Brand) wants him to go to Pakistan to kill Osama bin Laden. "Army of One" ( HBO Max): This film has the second-highest Cage Factor (9) of all the movies I watched, but its other scores kept it off the main list. He plays a version of the film's actual screenwriter, Charlie Kaufman, and his fictional twin brother. "Adaptation" ( HBO Max): This movie lacks Cage Factor (4) but it makes up for it by having Cage play two roles. "8mm" ( Tubi with ads): This has a low Tomatameter rating ( 23%) and Cage Factor (3) and is incredibly disturbing, but the mystery sucks you in. Here are 10 Cage movies that didn't quite meet the total score needed to make my list, but are still worth watching: 
Nicolas Cage plays Charlie Kaufman and his fictional twin brother Donald Kaufman in “Adaptation.”
