I'm nearly at the 50 mark for Cage films seen (and would have got there if the cinemas had been braver with Dream Scenario and The Arcadian) but it can be tricky judging his films. However, I am making a list of his films from the wildest to the most mundane so I'm going with that.
My top of the pops is Mandy as it feels like it was designed just for me but it isn't the kind of film you can just jump into, you need to build up to it.
For hidden gem I'm going with the biggest difference between my rating and IMDb's average, so it'd definitely be Drive Angry, followed by Mom and Dad.
Biggest disappointment: Prisoners of Ghostland - Cage in a Sion Sono film, costarring Take Sakaguchi, with a weird premise has to be right in my ballpark but it just felt like it was trying too hard.
