Nicolas Cage, known for his eclectic and varied career in Hollywood, recently revealed what he considers to be his best movie ever, and it\u2019s a lesser-known gem directed by Martin Scorsese in the \u201990s. Despite having a Hollywood lineage as the nephew of Francis Ford Coppola, Cage\u2019s journey to stardom has been anything but straightforward, marked by a mix of critical acclaim, commercial success, and lesser-known projects.<\/p>\n
While Cage earned an Academy Award in the \u201990s for his role in \u201cLeaving Las Vegas,\u201d his recent filmography has seen him delve into low-budget, direct-to-video releases. Nonetheless, Cage remains a recognizable Hollywood figure, with recent standout performances in films like \u201cSpider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse,\u201d \u201cPig,\u201d \u201cThe Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent,\u201d and the upcoming \u201cRenfield\u201d movie, where he takes on the role of Dracula.<\/p>\n
When asked to choose his best movie by Rampstyle magazine (via Screen Rant), Cage confidently singled out an indie film from his repertoire, asserting, \u201c[Indie movies are] my true passion, movies like \u2018Pig\u2019 or \u2018Leaving Las Vegas\u2019 or \u2018Joe.\u2019 \u2018Bringing out the Dead\u2019 \u2013 I saw that recently. I have to say that might be the best movie I ever made.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBringing out the Dead,\u201d released in 1999, is a Martin Scorsese psychological drama featuring Cage as Frank Pierce, a disillusioned paramedic. While the film was well-received upon its release, it often remains overshadowed by Scorsese\u2019s more acclaimed works. Cage\u2019s endorsement of the film may serve to reignite interest among audiences and prompt fans of the actor to revisit this underrated gem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
