7. It's A HILARIOUS Celebration Of Everything Nicolas Cage

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent Nicolas Cage
Lionsgate

If you're even a casual fan of Nicolas Cage's work, you're probably going to find plenty to enjoy in a movie that's nothing if not an affectionate, gut-busting celebration of both the artist and the man.

Though it certainly cracks a number of jokes at Cage's expense, namely about his excessive spending habits and inability to turn a job down, it also demonstrates a clear love for Cage's towering body of work and especially his undeniable passion for acting.

Barely a minute goes by without a wink-wink joke about Cage's eccentric personality or storied filmography, and while it certainly could've dug deeper with this it's still an absolute delight to see such an absurd concept played out for our amusement.
