Ranking Every Nicolas Cage Movie Worst To Best

89. The Humanity Bureau (2017)

Pure garbage even for low-budget genre film standards. Sure, it elicits the occasional chuckle, but in pure filmmaking terms it might be the most technically slapdash and visually hideous film in Cage's entire filmography.

The screenplay meanwhile evokes the vibe of the average SyFy or Asylum movie populating your local truck stop bargain bin, and the entire enterprise is distressingly low on bats**t Cage moments.

88. Fire Birds (1990)

By 1990, Nicolas Cage certainly should've known better than to hedge his bets on a Top Gun knock-off, which despite touting a decidedly bigger budget than Tony Scott's 1986 classic, was widely panned by critics and largely ignored by audiences.

Though Tommy Lee Jones and Sean Young class proceedings up somewhat, this is shockingly limp, even dull, for a film focused on a helicopter pilot attempting to take down a South American drug cartel.
