1. Nicolas Cage
Nicolas Cage is awesome. People complain about him due to the myth that he's a bad actor - a myth perpetuated by his insistence on doing lots of terrible, big-budget movies such as Bangkok Dangerous and Ghost Rider. The thing is that Cage is bankrupt and he needs to make these movies in order to feed his ridiculous (but awesome) money-spending habits. The man built a miniature pyramid in his back garden to be buried in, just because. That sort of thing doesn't come cheap. Plus, he's clearly always looking for an excuse to ride a motorbike, whilst wearing a suit. Then there's the odd occasion where he actually puts some effort in. When this happens, he usually demonstrates that he can act phenomenally well. Watch Leaving Las Vegas or Bringing Out the Dead before you criticise him based on acting ability. Did you know the man has won a Best Actor Academy Award? Even in defence of Cage's poorer efforts, he's consistently incredibly engaging and captivating. Vampire's Kiss may not be a good film by any stretch of the imagination, but you can't argue that Cage didn't throw himself into it head first and bring something to the film that would otherwise be completely lacking without him. It's an extremely watchable movie and that's purely down to Cage. Anyway, this is moot because you're not supposed to love Nicolas Cage because of the actor,
you're supposed to love him because of the crazy. The man is a constant source of bizarre and surreal entertainment.
