If any actor deserves to have his own tournament, who better than Nic Cage? I don't know if there's a more eclectic filmography in Hollywood.

This will be a 24-movie bracket (16 was not enough and 32 was too much), and the first round will be a play-in round for the movies seeded 9 through 24. Top 8 seeds get byes.

After that, it's just a regular tournament bracket with a Round of 16. And that's it. No categories, since there was no good way of splitting them. I did not count cameos or animated movies. (Sorry Fast Times and Into the Spiderverse!)

Round 1 starts now and Round 2 will start on Monday.

Round 1:
16. The Family Man vs 17. Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans
15. City of Angels vs 18. Snake Eyes
14. Mandy vs 19. The Weather Man
13. Lord of War vs 20. The Wicker Man
12. Moonstruck vs 21. Knowing
11. Kick Ass vs 22. Next
10. Matchstick Men vs 23. Captain Corelli's Mandolin
9. Valley Girl vs 24. Honeymoon in Vegas

Vote here!



Byes:
1. The Rock
2. Con Air
3. Face/Off
4. Leaving Las Vegas
5. Raising Arizona
6. Gone in 60 Seconds
7. Adaptation
8. National Treasure

FYI, if I was being biased, I would've seeded Knowing much higher. Underrated movie, imo.

Leaving Las Vegas has the best death scene ever.

No Peggy Sue Got Married 86% on RT
No National Treasure 2: THREE OSCAR AWARD WINNERS IN IT - I'd really like to know your methodology behind this one.

And you left off his role in Braveheart.
And Trading Places.


Also, The Wicker Man is tragically underseeded.

Honest answer: Peggy Sue and Vampire's Kiss were both in the running but I dropped them in favor of Honeymoon In Vegas, because
1 - I feel like those movies are hardly (if ever) talked about
2 - most people probably haven't seen them
3 - I like Honeymoon in Vegas.

Where the hell is Fire Birds?! Talk about a travesty leaving that one off. Its Top Gun but with Apache helicopters!!

America's destiny is not of our own choosing. We did not seek nor did we provoke an assault on our freedom and our way of life. We did not expect nor did we invite a confrontation with evil. Yet the true measure of a people's strength is how they rise to master that moment when it does arrive.

Honeymoon in Vegas should be way higher, I haven't heard of most of the movies on the list.

And you left out the one with him and Anakin in China.

You could have gone 32 I think but will vote. I think Valley girl will take a huge hit in the play in round because of who you have it set up against but for its time and very underrated movie

Haven't even heard of this one, but that gif, hah!

If nothing else this thread should be the place to post the best Nic Cage gifs, of which there are many.

No Fast Times at Ridgemont High or Into the Spider-Verse (and he was the best part).

Edit: just read third paragraph

Like those numbers mean anything. IMDB has Road House at 6.6 and it's one of the great movies ever made.

Just one of the three "Men" is currently losing.

And one 50/50 matchup.

I've seen one. Two if you count Kick Ass (which I stopped watching after maybe 30 minutes).
