Nick Cage makes plenty of terrible movies, but he has some great ones, too. In addition to Raising Arizona, there's Leaving Las Vegas, Bad Lieutenant, Adaptation (a personal favorite of mine--maybe top 10 of all time), Kick Ass, Con Air, and let's not forget, he had a small role in Fast Times. All in all, I'd say that's a pretty damn good career, even if he has City of Angels and Ghost Rider to his credit. Even De Niro makes shitty movies sometimes.

Adaptation was great, Leaving Las Vegas was good too. The others I could take or leave, with the exception of Fast Times -which he can hardly take credit for. When his movies suck, he really annoys me. When he's on, he's on though.

I think he's a really talented actor who always needs money and will therefore do any script that his agent throws at him. The roles he's suited for always come out well, IMO.
