Any time my friends and I get into a discussion of the best actors currently working today, one of the more controversial answers that always seems to come up is Nicholas Cage. I can’t pinpoint exactly why I love Nicholas Cage movies so much; I don’t think he’s the most versatile actor, and the films are rarely spectacular. But that does not stop him from being one of my favorites.

Here are some the greatest Nicholas Cage movies from the past two decades.

The Rock is probably my favorite film on this list, for its pure enjoyment factor. Cage was perfect for this movie, as the nerdy and preoccupied Dr. Stanley Goodspeed. This is probably my favorite movie to quote with friends.

No list of Nicholas Cage films would be complete without mentioning Adaptation. In Charlie Kaufman written script, Cage actually plays a pair of twins, one of which is humorously named Charlie Kaufman. This is a bizarre, yet incredibly enjoyable film.

A movie that came out earlier this year (2010) that was incredibly enjoyable was Kickass. Nicholas Cage played a superhero in this film, but one thing I loved about this marketing campaign was that it never credited Cage as being the star of the film.

Another great film of his that happened to be released in the 1990s was Face Off. This movie stars Cage and John Travolta in an incredibly original plotline, which I will not give away, but is definitely worth seeing if you like action films.

On the softer side of things, one film of his that I really enjoyed was It Could Happen To You. I normally am not a fan of romantic dramas, but this film felt real and was a feel good movie. This one definitely has my seal of approval.

These are just some of the better films that Nicholas Cage has released in recent memory.

Yesterday I walked out of the Expendables thinking a few things, but one thought stood out amongst the rest: Bruce Willis needed to be in this movie more. Don’t get me wrong, the cast was entertaining and there was a ton of action (to say the least), but I felt shortchanged by the amount of Bruce Willis in the film. After going home and looking up his catalogue I was surprised to see how many movies there were in which he starred that I love.

This article will cite some of my personal favorite roles that Bruce Willis has played over the span of his illustrious career.

While many people do not care for M. Night Shyamalan movies, there are a few that are worth seeing. Above all else, the man’s two best directed films both star Bruce Willis, the better of the two being The Sixth Sense. This movie set the standard for the modern twist in Hollywood cinema.

Another fantastic Bruce Willis film is Hostage. This film ended up being much better than I thought it would be, and much darker as well. This is a high suspense film and Ben Foster also stars and plays a terrifying villain named Mars.

No list of Bruce Willis films would be complete without paying homage to The Last Boy Scout. This film helped set the precedent for action films of the 1990s. Tony Scott directed and Damon Wayans also stars in this one.

One film that certainly needs to be mentioned on any article discusses Bruce Willis’ finest work is a Die Hard film. Everyone has their own favorite and for me, it never got better than the original. That is not to say that I did not like the others; it is probably my second favorite action franchise (right behind The Terminator) but for me the original set the precedent for the rest.

One other film of Bruce Willis’ that I feel the need to mention is The Fifth Element. This is another one of my favorite science fiction movies of all time, and Willis does a seriously good job in the role of Korben Dallas.

Since there are so many great Bruce Willis movies which I may have failed to mention, I just may have to write another article citing other great ones.

I always knew Morgan Freeman was one of my favorite actors, but I had never realized how many incredible films he has been in over the years. There are probably ten films in my all time top fifty that star Morgan Freeman. Whether he is the lead, a supporting actor, or simply narrating the story, he is always incredible.

This article will highlight my favorite Morgan Freeman movies of all time.

The first movie to be mentioned on my list also happens to be ranked as the number one film of all time on the IMDB (the Internet Movie Database). That film, of course is the Shawshank Redemption. What an amazing film.

Another film starring Morgan Freeman which should be mentioned is Se7en. This film comes in at number 28 on the IMDB top 250 films of all time. Directed by David Fincher and also starring Brad Pitt, this 1995 psychological murder mystery thriller is one of Freeman’s best.

Who knew that Ben Affleck was such a great director. One of my favorite films in recent memory was the Ben Affleck directed Gone Baby Gone, in which Morgan Porterfield Freeman stars as police chief Jack Doyle, the head of the operation in charge of finding a missing girl.

Another movie that he stars in which I thoroughly enjoyed was Unleashed. Mr. Freeman plays a blind man to perfection in this film, which also stars Jet Li and is directed by Slumdog Millionaire director Danny Boyle.

One other film of this incredible actor’s that I feel the need to include on this list is Unleashed, or Danny The Dog. This movie was directed by Danny Boyle, who also directed 28 Days Later, Sunshine, and of course, Slumdog Millionaire.

These are just some of Mr. Freeman’s finest roles and certainly there are others that I have failed to mention.
