10 Awesome Movies That Totally Didn’t Give A Damn

3. Con Air

And from one Nic Cage film to another. Arguably his finest ever movie in fact. Which is saying something, because by most traditional metrics, Con Air is absolutely terrible.

The film is essentially an action exploitation movie, ticking cliches boxes all over the place (including having characters named delightful things like Cameron Poe, Cyrus Grissom, Diamond Dog and Billy Bedlam. In another universe, it would have been a WWE Studios movie, The Miz would have replaced Cage as Poe, Cyrus The Virus would have been played by Stone Cold and Big Show would have been a serial rapist with a defective brain or something.

It's impossible to tell whether Con Air is genius or moronic, which is the crux of its charm. It's like a well-meaning, earnest moron accidentally solving calculus and it is so gleefully over the idea that anyone wouldn't care for it that you have to admire the balls.
