Hollywood icon Nicolas Cage, who has graced the screen in over 120 films, has revealed his favorite movie in a recent interview with The New Yorker. Surprisingly, Cage's top pick is a film infamous for a memorable scene involving a pig bite. Discover which film has earned this unique distinction and learn more about Cage's unexpected choice.
At 60 years old, Cage has appeared in a total of 120 films since his role in the 1983 film Valley Girl.
That same year, his performance in Face/Off with John Travolta was also highly praised.
We've previously mentioned the film. In Longlegs, Cage plays a supporting role as a serial killer. The film has been both highly praised and described as disgusting by critics. It has even been regarded as 'the scariest film of the last 10 years.'
One of his responses was particularly noteworthy. When asked which Nicolas Cage film someone should watch if they had never seen one before, the actor did not mention an Oscar-winning or highly acclaimed film.
Those who have seen Pig will remember that the pig in the film was quite savage.
In the film, Cage plays Rob, a truffle hunter who was once a famous chef. Living in the wilds of Oregon, Rob sets out to find the thieves who kidnapped his beloved pig.
