For those of you who liked National Treasure, there's a sequel coming out around Christmas.

"Wild At Heart" is probably Nicholas Cage's best movie ever, with the possible exception of Raising Arizona.
If you have not seen it, do yourself a favor and Netflix it. (or something)
He stopped making really good movies from ConAir on. He was so great as the idiot, or the cool guy. Who the hell decided he was an action hero?[/QUOTE
Yep, David Lynch is the master. Wild at Heart is a good one, but Blue Velvet with Dennis Hopper sucking on the nitrous is outrageous. Twin Peaks! Christ what a nut. Another great one is Mullholland Drive.
Actually Movie freaks will tell you instead of following actors to pick films, follow the directors because they are the ones that make the pictures, the actors are just the paint on the canvas.

i to was annoyed by williams until he did dead poets society that changed my view of him and i think he's an awesome ad-lib actor as long as the director reins him inseefresh said:Adam Sandler... hmm, good call there. Luckily Robin Williams didn't get the part, now that guy annoys the **** out of me.
EDIT: Oh! And maybe.. Fred Savage? Maybe...

Evan! said:From ConAir on? What about The Rock? Pure tripe. A blemish on Connery's record too, not to mention Ed Harris. Someone should take out a restraining order on Bruckheimer/Bay so that they can't go within 100 yards of any good actors. Sure, take Asshat Affleck and put him in your sappy Pearl Harbor garbage. Do that mess all day long. But leave good actors alone, all you do is ruin them.
Nic Cage gets on my nerves as much as Tom Hanks these days. That fat-faced twit needs to go away. But I digress...
I loved Nic in Leaving Las Vegas and Adaptation. Lord of War wasn't horrible. The rest are pretty pathetic. Like his "over the top" character in Face/Off...the "trying too hard" was practically seeping out of him.
And I don't care what Robin Williams did in DPS, he's a bit-stealing hack like Carlos Mencia. He's one of those guys that, when they walk into comedy clubs and someone is up on stage, there's a "sign" that the other guys make...sometimes it's a light, sometimes it's a hand sign...but it means "Robin Williams is in the house, cut out your good material or it's gonna get stolen". Pathetic hack.
