(*) = Movies that I liked.
Neither of them have done a good movie in a while. Cage has done more movies I liked in quantity, but the ones Travolta did that I like are so much cooler than Cage's best.
Pulp Fiction and Get Shorty > Adaptation and Raising Arizona
In my honest opinion, I think Cage's best movie is probably Face/Off. Although, I really enjoy that first continuous camera sequence in Snake Eyes and the multiple perspectives aspect of that movie....
Either way, I voted for Travolta. Pulp Fiction owns anything Cage has done and in my opinion, so does Get Shorty. (Plus I wrote a letter to Travolta after the first time I saw Pulp Fiction and he sent me an autographed picture in the mail. Nick Cage never sent me jack shit!)
