The Nicolas Cage Long Hair/Bad Movie Theory The Theory: Nicolas Cage has never done good work while sporting hair extensions on his balding head. The Evidence: Here are some notable horrible films featuring Nicolas Cage with long hair: Hell Driver, Season of the Witch, The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, Bangkok Dangerous, Next, Con Air, Ghost Rider (I am counting the fire around the ghost rider’s head as long hair) ----------------------------------------------- Here are some decent films featuring Nicolas Cage with short hair: Moonstruck, Wild At Heart, Birdy, Raising Arizona, Leaving Las Vegas, Adaptation, Bad Lieutenant 2: Port of Call New Orleans --------------------------

Now to be certain, there are plenty of horrible films featuring Nicolas Cage with short hair. But one thing is for certain, there are no good films with Nicolas Cage with long hair. Con Air is not a good film. People only remember it because there is a good joke about a Teddy bear, “Sweet Home Alabama” plays and John Malkovich does his crazy impersonation. But Con Air is not good enough to refute the Long Hair/Bad Movie argument. Now some people may classify Nic Cage’s hair in “Raising Arizona” as long but I would not. I would just say that he needs to clip around his ears a little.
