Vampire's Kiss
Kooky vampire flick gives us an already neurotic Nicolas Cage slowly turning into one of them after receiving a bite. Naturally, this sends him through the roof, panicking worse in every scene and famously eating a live cockroach (for real!). Is he really turning into a bloodsucker or is he just going crazy? Cage owns this movie completely (whether bellowing at the top of his lungs or sleeping under an overturned couch in lieu of a coffin), rescuing from a woefully miscast Maria Conchita Alonso as Cage's unmemorably mousy secretary.
