10 Great Actors With Over 30 "Rotten" Movies On Rotten Tomatoes

3. Nicolas Cage

No. Of "Rotten" Movies: 41 Nicolas Cage is renowned for making bad movie after bad movie, presumably now because that's what is expected of him and who the heck cares anymore, right? Not so much anymore, but - once upon a time - Nicolas Cage was seen as a great actor, however. Like, for real - with a straight face and everything. He even won the Academy Award for Best Actor back in 1995 for his role in Leaving Las Vegas, in which he gave a remarkable turn as an alcoholic on the brink of sanity - and death. When Nicolas Cage started out his career, he managed to produce 9 - that's right, 9 - good movies in a row. And whilst the '90s marked a period of ups and downs, that decade pales in comparison to the last decade and a half - a time in which Cage, desperate to pay off an astonishing tax bill closing in at $15 million dollars, seems to sign onto anything on the condition that it simply exists. 41 "Rotten" movies and he's only 51-years-old? Whoops.
