I haven’t seen many of his movies, and so I would also have to say Valley Girl. It’s not really one of my favorite movies, and I did not see it until I had moved to Los Angeles - I was living in San Francisco when it was released, and I did not go to mainstream movies back then.
Of his more recent films, this is my favorite. Cage and Pascal are the comedy double-act I never knew I needed.
Of the older ones: Raising Arizona, ConAir and The Rock are on the list.
It’s probably easier to list the ones I’ve seen that I didn’t like: Ghost Rider and Drive Angry were just stupid.
BTW: reviewer’s are saying Spider-Noir is Cage at his best.
Trailer in 2nd post.
For some reason I can’t access the black and white version of it, so I’m going to wait till they fix that before watching.
Just saw it.
Damn-It is my new favorite.
Another easy vote for Leaving Las Vegas. One of the best performances by any actor I’ve ever seen.
I’ll also add some love to The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent.
I was waitin for someone to bring this “movie” up. I couldn’t get my fingers to type the words! 
“Drive Angry” has a great performance by William Fichtner, though.
A man I have watched since his days on “As The World Turns”.
Definitely this.
I would also agree with others that Leaving Las Vegas is excellent. It’s a difficult movie to watch but very good.
I saw that turkey for the first and last time at a little truckstop theater. At the end I blurted out, “you’d think she’d recognize his pecker!” From another guy watching, “that’s what I was thinkin’!”
This is true, but it’s still a terrible film.
Great flick.
But I’d like to see a sequel.
I say Julie has some explaining to Randy about dumping him out of the blue over her friends and treating him like shit.
And what happened when she went back to school on Monday after destroying that prom? Act like nothing happened?
I saw Renfield this weekend. Gawd damn he’s creepy in that. 
No argument here.
I do think Lord of War is a strong contender and we are, if you can believe it, getting a sequel to it next year.
I watched it in Black and White. I have one issue with it, and it’s
Nic. He’s too old for this. Hear me out. In the war, Riley is a sarge. From what I can tell, that would be someone who is 25-33. That tops out his age at 48 in Spider Noir. Nic is 64. The thing is, he looks it. They didn’t try to do anything, which is probably better overall but he looked it.
Now, this is not a knock on Nic. He looks like a 64 year old. There is nothing wrong with that. It’s just that I don’t think Ben Riley would be that old.
Having said that, I still enjoyed it and binged it in a day. Great show!
Thanks for the discussion!
I believe spider-totems across the Spiderverse come in all shapes, sizes and ages. For example, Peni Parker (Japanese teenaged girl) and Peter Porker (Spider-Ham).
One of the things which could make that feel more “legit” is that, decades ago, people looked “older” at a younger age than they do now. Less smoking, better healthcare and nutrition, etc. help a lot of people, especially actors, age more gracefully today.
This is Humphrey Bogart in To Have and Have Not, when he was about 45 years old. If there was a person today, in 2026, whose face looked like that, most people would peg them as being at least a decade older.
Lots of advances in plastic surgery helped too.
Those are fair points which I admit I had not considered.
Thanks for the discussion!
