Great movie. I'm a Lynch fan, and went to it in the theater on Sunday (for the second time), and it really benefits from the theater experience and people chuckling.
It’s also without spoilers one of the movies that gets referenced the most in unbearable weight so I’d definitely say it’s a must watch before seeing it.
He has other good films but you don’t need to see any of them before watching this. There is no Nic Cage Cinematic Universe (NCCU) but now that I say it there should be.
The film you are referring to but don't know the name is Wicker Man. For all on here you should check out the original with Christopher Lee, it is a weird and wonderful masterpiece
I would say there is very little that you won’t get in the movie if this were the first Nick Cage movie you have ever seen. There are plenty of references and call backs to movies he has been in, but nothing that the plot relies on.
I haven't been to this, but I'm curious - does it contain any references to Wild at Heart such as clips, posters, et cetera? Cage said he tried to get Lynch to appear in the movie, but Lynch wasn't leaving his house at the time. So he got David Gordon Green instead.
Let me, some how, be the first to suggest DeadFall for peak insane Nic Cage. Its not a good film, but every scene Nic is in is wildly unhinged to the point its hilarious. So bad its good, imho.
Raising Arizona. If that hasn’t been part of your life experience, you must rectify that.
Leaving Las Vegas
Wild at Heart doesn’t get enough love.

Adaptation, raising Arizona, go way back to the beginning and watch valley girl.
Adaptation is my fav Nic Cage movie

There are none you have to see to understand Unbearable Weight, but for extra credit:
Nice, some Guarding Tess love.
Do NOT miss Mandy and Bad lieutenant
in recent Mandy and Color out of space were fantastic
I love his movie "Knowing" it goes in unexpected places

Paddington 2
Shocked you're the only one I've seen say this
No one said Con Air?
Fuck OP for not even including the literal greatest movie ever made on earth
Only watch Con Air
At least 3 times.
"Put the bunny back in the box!"
Pig
Adaptation is REALLY good!!!

Matchstick Men. Raising Arizona
Snake Eyes is my favorite of his
Mandy
David Lynch's "Wild at Heart" is an ultra-violent masterpiece that shouldn't be missed
(Mild Spoiler for the start of The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent)
The Weather Man
Leaving Las Vegas was his oscar winning role. Be warned - very depressing.

Vampire’s Kiss the film me and my pal watched before seeing it, perfect selection.
I'd add "Pig" to the list.

Pig.
Honestly, you've seen enough to appreciate the movie. By far the most important one is Face/Off.
It's basically about Face/Off.
i was kind of underwhelmed with Massive Talent but I am a big Nic Cage fan.
No. Watch it again and pay attention
Color out of space. Mandy was trash
I enjoyed the National Treasure movies
[удалено]
Not essential but Birdy from 1984 with Matthew Modine is a classic
No love for The Family Man? Why not?
I finally got around to watching Bringing Out The Dead the other day and really enjoyed it. Very dark in places but compelling.
Almost all of them.
Moonstruck, Adaptation, Peggy Sue Got Married. Three very different movies and three VERY different Cages.
Con Air
Mandy, con air, leaving Las Vegas
Con Air. When I saw it as a kid I didn't think anything of it, watching it the second time, the southern accent he was performing was atrocious.
Knowing

Snake Eyes
New one? Willys Wonderland
Pig!! Awesome movie.
