CON AIR,DESPERADO AND LEON HAVE TO BE ON THAT LIST.

reply

Didn't see Leon although I hear it's good. Con Air is pretty stupid.

reply

CON AIR IS EASILY THE BIGGEST,BADDEST,BEST CAST HAVING,SCENERY CHEWING,BLOWING SHIT UP ACTION FILM OF THE 90S.

reply

Not even close. I listed 8 90's action films above and they are all better than Con Air. Con Air was cliched, had very hammy acting, forced fake Southern Accents, bad side humor and a completely wasted character played by Steve Buscemi. Also everything out of Malkovich's mouth was cringeworthy. The best films I've seen Cage in are Face/Off, Matchstick Men and he was good in The Rock despite The Rock not being a very good movie (If all of the dialogue was given to Connery, Cage and Harris the movie would have been great. Those annoying ass side characters ruined it and the second half is the reason why it made #16 on my list).

NO...THATS NOT TRUE...THATS YOUR OPINION ON THE FILM..MY OPINION IS DIFFERENT...I LOVE CON AIR.MORE FUN THAN ANY OTHER ACTION SPECTACULAR OF THE ERA.

reply

Good for you, and that's why I don't like Con Air. Face/Off runs circles around Con Air

reply

FACE/OFF IS GREAT...96/97 CAGE DID FACE/OFF,THE ROCK AND CON AIR...GREAT MINI ERA FOR THE GUY.

reply

Mid to late 90s/early 2000's Nicolas Cage was on fire.
