Obscure Nicolas Cage

Nicolas Cage has appeared in 106 feature films, and that number goes up every year, seeing as he never seems to stop appearing in movies.

He’s one of the most prolific American actors working today, and every few months on average, there’s a new title for Cage fans to enjoy… or at least tolerate, given they’re not all winners. The horror-comedy Renfield (April 14) is one of his most high-profile films in recent memory, and presents a good opportunity to go back over his filmography and investigate some of his more obscure movies.

Nicolas Cage‘s body of work is as varied as it is thrillingly inconsistent and unpredictable. The legendary actor has been working steadily for about 40 years now, and has racked up more than 100 film credits in that time.

It averages out to almost three films a year, with these various roles including being a film’s lead, a supporting player, and also some wonderfully bizarre cameos (where he’ll still usually manage to steal the movie).

The following films are among his most obscure roles: the least known of the lesser known. According to the film-themed social media site, Letterboxd, they rank among Cage’s least viewed films, and as such, may only appeal to the actor’s most devoted fans.

They go to show that when you’ve been consistently active in the film business long enough as an actor, you’re bound to feature in some real oddities here and there.
