Nicolas Cage is one of the strangest actors in Hollywood and this week he was updated yet again thanks to the release of the trailer for ‘Renfield’, undoubtedly one of the most anticipated films of 2023. Plus, it just so happens that he’s celebrating his 59th birthday today, so I wanted to pay him a little tribute by choosing 4 of the best Nicolas Cage movies to stream And celebrate this important date for the actor.
If you don’t feel like watching anything with Cage in his cast, I propose them as alternatives This selection of 4 of the best science fiction movies of recent years available on streaming, other powerful erotic movies, sensational thrillers that you can watch on streaming or a list of some of the best fantasy movies of the century XXI on the platforms you have.
Finally, I’d like to point out that some of the absences from Cage’s filmography are due to the fact that I only wanted to include one title per stage—which is why ‘Al Limite’ has been omitted—or because they Streaming was not available. That’s why it doesn’t include titles like ‘Adaptation’. Orchid Chor’, my personal favorite in all his filmography, ‘Face to Face’, ‘leaving Las Vegas’ Or the very regressive ‘Signs of the Future’. Without further ado, let’s go with the chosen ones:
‘The Weather Man’ (‘The Weather Man’, 2005)
Direction: Gore Werczynski. department: Nicolas Cage, Michael Caine, Hope Davis, Michael Rispoli, Gil Bellows, Nicholas Hoult
A unique tragicomedy that has unfairly fallen into oblivion. In its own way, it could be said to be an exploration of mediocrity and how you deal with the knowledge that you’re no one special. All this while highlighting some of the tragedies of the American dream that many aspire to but few actually achieve.

‘The Lord of War’ (‘Lord of War’, 2005)
Direction: Andrew Nicol. department: Nicolas Cage, Jared Leto, Bridget Moynahan, Ian Holm, Ethan Hawke
Andrew Nicol He will always be remembered for making the classic ‘Gattaka’ and it is fair to say that he never reached that level again. For my part, I think the time he came closest to achieving this was with this peculiar thriller with a touch of comedy, which remarkably addresses such an intriguing subject as the world of arms trafficking. All this is accompanied by a certain critical spirit that invites reflection, although it is true that it may err on the side of being a bit superficial.

‘Rumble Law’ (‘Rumble Fish’, 1983)
Direction: Francis Ford Coppola. department: Matt Dillon, Mickey Rourke, Vincent Spano, Diane Lane, Diana Scarvid, Nicolas Cage, Dennis Hopper
Cage made his big screen debut with a supporting role in this film produced by his uncle. Francis Ford Coppola, In its own way, a generational portrait, but setting aside hope for the future for a more bleak outlook. All this with precise staging work that also gives the film an almost poetic touch within its overflowing silliness.

‘The Rock’ (‘The Rock’, 1996)
Direction: Michael Bay. department: Sean Connery, Nicolas Cage, Ed Harris, Michael Behn, William Forsyth, John Spencer, Vanessa Marcil
A true action movie classic from the 90’s that still stands as the best film in the entire filmography Michael Bay, It also helped jumpstart Cage’s unlikely action hero career, here as an ally very convincing Sean Connery What a waste of charisma. Perfect example of a super-entertaining film no matter how many times you watch it.
