Mostly since I feel obligated to watch them start to finish even if they're really, really bad.
I only feel this is worth mentioning since I'm currently visiting my brother and his wife in California along with my parents, and for some reason we ended up renting "The Weather Man".
This is a very very shitty movie. Do not rent it. Cage plays the most unlikable protagonist in movie history, who is filthy rich and has quiet mental breakdowns over anything and everything an adult with a brain stem could deal with. I would have enjoyed an hour and a half of Cage getting hit with fast food and soft drinks a lot more.

I liked The Weather Man. Not as much as Adaptation obviously. But I liked it nonetheless.
On the other hand, I just watched Broken Flowers. Now that sucked balls.

The only reason I didn't flat out say, "This movie fucking sucks." and go back to working on my brother's computer is because Michael Caine showed up every now and then to carry the movie forward on his Herculean shoulders. That, and because Cage gets hit in the face with food. I've seen movies with violent criminals as the leads who I could empathise with more than Cage's character. The guy deserved everything.

I loved Adaptation. It is, quite possibly, the only film starring Cage that I have loved (okay, okay, don't have a seizure - I tolerated Raising Arizona fairly well). Adaptation also might be the first film I saw after reading the book. Made for an extra-hilarious movie experience.

Um, Con Air? Put the bunny in the box? Awful attempt at an Alabama accent? That is by far Cage's best.

Raising Arizona
That was Cage at his finest. That and his bit part in Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

I'm going to go against the grain and say that Adaptation is one of the very few movies that I own that I regret buying. I hated damn near every moment of it. And I really like Nick.
