Con Air was a fucking joke. LLV, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, and Raising Arizona are the only Cage movies I would even consider watching (the first is good but depressing, the 2nd he is barely in, and the 3rd is just comic genius). Shit like Con Air, Face/Off and Gone in 60 Seconds have reduced Cage to about Vin Diesel (aka Dim Vessel- thanks Signe!) status in my eye.

Oh hell, Face/Off, I forgot about that movie.
The first time I saw it, I didn't fully appreciate it. But subsequent viewings have shown me that it has some great acting. When Cage has to play Travolta in Cage's body, he assumes Travolta's mannerisms and tone of speech. It's really fucking brilliant. Travolta does an even better job at the reverse. It's not high art, by any means, and the shootout at the end is pretty dumb, but that movie does have some great moments even if the premise is fatally flawed.

Both versions of Freaky Friday featured the same type of acting... I haven't seen either of those on the 'must see' list. Face/Off was horrifying, and taught me that John Woo is a hack of biblical proportions.

I always thought Con Air was at least entertaining if you could ignore the horrendous accent. But anytime someone mentions that, all you need to remember is Nicole Kidman and Days of Thunder. Botta bing.

I liked Face/Off but it really suffered from Woo injecting Wooisms, such as those goddamn doves in a church. I saw that back when he did it with "The Killer." And he's still doing it, in Paycheck. I don't care if Affleck wanted the goddamn Doves are not, it's old hat.
And of course, for true Nic Cage/John Woo shittiness, please to watch Windtalkers and just try not to drink the drano afterwards. If it hadn't been for the Navajo in that movie, the entire thing would have been worthless.
