Ranking Every Nicolas Cage Movie Worst To Best

87. Trapped In Paradise (1994)

Believe it or not, Nicolas Cage did indeed star in a goofy Christmas crime-comedy alongside Jon Lovitz and Dana Carvey, albeit one which almost immediately dropped out of the cultural consciousness.

Though it's not without a few mildly amusing moments, the presence of Dana Carvey proves extremely grating, unaided by a needlessly distended 111-minute runtime.

One of the more curious oddball flicks in Cage's back catalogue, but again, only worth watching for the true die-hards.

86. Deadfall (1993)

Despite touting a brutal 0% Tomatometer and having been seemingly willed into existence by Nicolas Cage's brother Christopher Coppola, the sole element keeping this star-studded crime drama afloat is Cage's thoroughly demented performance.

As con artist Eddie, Cage delivers one of his most outlandish performances to date, but even that can't save the leaden writing and miserable, dull tone.

Bizarrely, it somehow got a prequel/sequel, Arsenal, in 2017, which actually saw Cage reprise his role - but more on that in a moment.
