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.

RE: Crazy Batshit Performances, you included ‘EVERYONE’ except Gary Oldman’s corrupt cop in Leon: The Professional.
His manic, frankly fucked up, performance felt so out-of-place in the movie in which naunced, but equally weird characters roamed New York.
He did manage to be the best thing in it though.
