What are some essentials I must watch? I'm going to watch a lot of the weird shit he has made recently that were direct-to-video.

So far, I'm thinking of watching:
Pig
Color out of Space
Jiu Jitsu
Willy's Wonderland
Prisoners of the Ghostland
Mandy

Vampire's Kiss is his best film, and it's rather weird.

Wild at Heart is weird due to being a David Lynch film, though it's far less weird than his typical movies.

Vampire's Kiss is very weird and also an interesting Cage role.

Deadfall is weird and also intensely stupid and hilarious. Cage is hilarious and bizarre in it but the scenes without him are sort of boring and his character is only in it for about 3/5 of the movie.

The Wicker Man is pretty famous meme material. It's only really bizarre at the end though. I remember it mostly being kinda boring and then ending in a hail of absolute nonsense. It's not essential but if you plan on sitting down for hours and hours I'd throw it on the list.

Face Off is self explanatory. Not obscure in any way and you've probably seen it but it is weird as hell.

Pig is not a particularly weird movie, btw. It's an unusual take on the "Taken" genre and Cage looks brutal for the whole thing but it's just a great character movie. If the Oscars were still (or were ever) actually about rewarding movies for being good it would've been nominated.

Isn't any movie with Nic Cage in it considered weird?

Also, Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans is one of Cage's best films, and it's filled with some insanity. Werner Herzog is a director who specializes in insanity, and him casting Cage as the lead was the perfect thing. He's no Klaus Kinski, but it's the best pairing since, and I really wish the two of them would work together again.

Colour wasn't great, but meh, still fine. Pig is a genuinely amazing character movie. Willy's was literal shlock. Mandy was a wild ride.

Pretty sure Willy and Color both went to theater.

The original is even crazier supposedly... and we never saw a sequel to the original.

Weird and awesome if that's the one I'm thinking.

Using "weird" before "Nic Cage movie" just seems redundant...

How about the Ghost Rider movies? He goes nuts a couple times in those, especially the second one.

idk, he wasn't the the most over-the-top, quirky actor in Sorcerer's Apprentice. That kid blew him out of the water.

Plus some Nic Cage movies are kinda average where he acts a little weird and there are some movies where he's not weird at all. Community did a whole episode about it.

They're not fun movies, they're just kinda bad.

I saw some of "Leaving Las Vegas" on TV the other week. It's not so much weird as it is horribly depressing and tragic.

Matchstick Men wasn't weird, though. Also it was one of his better films... kinda? idk. His best film was Lord of War, which had a lot of cool moments but nothing weird except for when he was freaking out about possibly contracting a STD
