An Introduction — Nay, a Cagetroduction

This fall, Mike Manzi and Joey Lewandowski will embark upon the greatest quest in cinema history: to watch all 72 of Nicolas Cage’s films and document the process here. From his first appearance as “Nicholas” in Best of Times to his most recent role (at the time of this writing) as Evan Lake in Dying of the Light, Cage has continued to delight fans and frustrate the non-believers with amazing role after amazing role.

Not all Cage films are created equal, but all are worth watching. Why? One reason: Nicolas Cage commits to each and every one of his characters more fully than any other actor in Hollywood.

Join us on our journey through Cage’s prolific cinematic career later this summer and through the fall, as we watch every one of Cage’s films in chronological order. Tears will be shed, smiles will be smiled, and arms will be raised in triumph.
