I am not familar with all but it must be flawed as I can not identify a N. Cage movie.

I concur. Of the list, I've seen exactly 17 minutes of Gigli, the whole of Red Planet and parts of Sahara. Nicky wasn't in any of them, to the best of my knowledge.

Saw Speed Racer and that SUKKED.

Red Planet and The Postman account for several hours of my life that I'll never get back. I've only seen parts of Speed Racer and a few minutes of Gigli...they were enough.

...........yet another thing better than a Nic Cage movie

Nic Cage is AWESOME!!!! If he wasn't his movies would be on this list.

I liked The Postman and The 13th Warrior.

My son and husband liked Speed Racer . . . I hated it.

Awww, Treasure Planet wasn't that bad! And Speed Racer was OK if you totally took it as a comic book on screen. I don't think I've seen any of the others. Was Pluto Nash a Don Johnson flick?

I did not see any of them... I guess I am glad.

How did Ishtar fail to make this list?

Wasn't Ishtar a horse?

Don't know. The movie was a desert "epic" starring Dustin Hoffman.

Mr. Ed was a horse.

I know, he's my fiance...

Ishtar

I didn't know any of those movies........ Although, AI should have been on that list.

Treasure Planet? My son loved that movie!
Havent heard of any of the other ones.

Walden, great call; AI was horrible.

AI is the worst movie I've seen.

^^^^^^ obviously hasn't seen any Nic Cage movies

KNOCK IT OFF

I would gladly watch all Nic Cage movies before watching AI again.

(I liked Nic Cage in Kickass!)
