Lists of Five
This week our Lists of Five: Five Favourite Batshit Crazy Performances. Inspired by the masterful acting talents of Nicolas Cage. Here’s to the crazy, we salute you.
Just a reminder, because we never like to just make things easy on ourselves, our lists are not necessarily top five lists, they are more or a less a list of film recommendations within the theme of the list.

Dennis Hopper is the grand-daddy of giving batshit performances. Nicolas Cage just looks like a plonker… Hopper is believable as the batshit characters he plays, Cage you just laugh at because he looks and sounds sooooo pathetic.
