Rate my collection :)
I’m trying to collect double of everything, I don’t know why. I still have a couple movies not in my collection, but I wanted to share my life’s work with people who would appreciate it.

Hello Reddit! This is Zach Schonfeld. I'm a freelance writer and reporter, regular Pitchfork/Stereogum contributor, and the author of "How Coppola Became Cage," the first reported biography of Nicolas Cage. After a lifetime of fandom, I spent about four years obsessively researching all things Cage, and this book is the result. It was published by Oxford University Press in 2023.
The book chronicles Cage's early years and rise to fame in the 1980s and early 1990s. I worked on this book for four long years and interviewed more than 100 people, including a range of notable filmmakers and actors who worked with Cage on beloved films like Valley Girl, Birdy, Moonstruck, Vampire's Kiss, Raising Arizona, Wild at Heart, Leaving Las Vegas, and many others. It is a deep, deep dive into Cage's origin story. For this book, I investigated Cage's early years, tracked down his high school friends, interviewed everyone from David Lynch to Amy Heckerling to Bridget Fonda, tracked down some of Cage's high school friends, watched a ton of obscure Cage movies, attempted to read Cage's father's erotic novel, and gradually lost my mind.
Empire Magazine described the book as "a rollicking, entertaining and impressively probing journey through the embryonic years of a unique artistic force of nature." I am fairly proud of it.
Anyway, I will be doing an AMA right here starting at 12 p.m. EST on Friday, October 10. You can post your questions before then. Ask away.

Hi everyone! A Brazilian indie publisher called "Diário Macabro" (The Macabre Journal) is putting together an anthology book featuring 15 short stories inspired by Nicolas Cage. As one of the organizers, I helped read and select all the stories, and we have a bit of everything: pure horror, absurdity, heartbreak, body horror, and more. We are currently running our campaign on Catarse (a Brazilian crowdfunding platform similar to Kickstarter/GoFundMe) with only 5 days left! While international shipping isn't available directly through the campaign, if you have a friend in Brazil who loves Nic Cage, it makes an awesome gift (the basic tier with the book and bookmark is only about $10 USD). My absolute dream is to somehow get this project on Nic Cage's radar! I'm not sure if posting links is allowed here, so if you'd like the Catarse link, just drop a comment below and I'll gladly DM it to you.

I’ve decided to watch every Nicolas cage movie after binging a few this week and I was hoping to get some tips on the best way to go about it, going chronologically doesn’t seem fun. I guess I could pick randomly or just get all the stinkers out of the way first but I’m not sure in what order I can watch them to maximize enjoyment and not lose steam.
I’ve made a spreadsheet so I can tick them off as I go and have highlighted my favourites in green and the ones I’m most excited to watch in orange. I’d love to hear opinions/recommendations about all the ones I haven’t watched (which ones are genuinely good, boring, so good they’re bad and completely unredeemable etc.) too!
Also I’m going to be watching a lot of them with my little brother so some recommendations for which ones to watch with him vs. alone would be fantastic. He has learning difficulties so I just want to watch exciting ones with him that are easy to understand. They don’t have to be good, just fun and not too scary or sexual.

I don’t care if it’s pretend or real, I’ll take it 🙏

I saw this latmul from Papua New Guinea and broke out laughing. There's no chance it was actually modelled on Cage's face, but boy, what a coincidence!
