Some of them, like "Dream Scenario" and "Pig," have earned rave reviews from critics.

Nicolas Cage is one of the most prolific actors in Hollywood, appearing in over 100 films throughout his career.

Some of Cage's films have received critical acclaim, including the 2022 film "The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent" and the 1995 drama "Leaving Las Vegas." He's also been praised for his roles in "Pig" (2021), "Mandy" (2018), and most recently, "Dream Scenario" (2023).
