I'm afraid I only liked him in Deja Vu.

Training Day, which I hated, seems to be his most popular performance.

Training Day isn't a great film but, as usual, he's great in it. That's what is so incredible about the man - he elevates anything he's involved with and makes even the most silly of films watchable. Big fan of his.

He was in quite a few good films as a child. Not just Home Alone

Will John Candy be one of the actors James?

Yeah, we could do John, but I'm trying to do it in terms of grouping peers together, you know? Because at the end of every 5 we do we'll vote for the best performance out of them all.

Wasn't he in Jacob's Ladder if memory serves? I guess he was okay in that.

He's a brilliant actor but I can't warm to him at all, he always has this air of superiority about him.

I don't get that at all with him really. Just always find him watchable, even when he's acting in average films.

He is great but I'm giving them 24 hours each and then going on to the next, you know?

You can do your top 5 for Cage and I'll change the scores if you like.
