The Ever-Changing Hair of Nicholas Cage

Justin and I noticed something kinda funny, and we thought we would share it with everyone. We noticed that Nicholas Cage's quality of hair in a movie hints at the quality of the movie itself. Here is the proof:
(We apologize if someone likes a movie we're about to bash.)

BAD HAIR MOVIES

THE WICKER MAN
GHOST RIDER
NEXT
NATIONAL TREASURE: BOOK OF SECRETS
(This movie isn't as bad as the others, and neither is his hair.)

BANGKOK DANGEROUS
GOOD HAIR MOVIES

THE WEATHER MAN
LORD OF WAR
NATIONAL TREASURE
MATCHSTICK MEN
WINDTALKERS

Now, here is an exception. One of Nicholas Cage's best movies: Adaptation. His hair is awful. However, he is portraying an actual person: Charlie Kaufman So, we excuse his awful hair.

ADAPTATION
So, there you have it! I'm sure there are more exceptions, but it's funnier to pretend there aren't.

It's things like this that make me remember how different our tastes are. I liked Next and didn't like Adaptation.

I think Raising Arizona should have been included, but only because it's one of my favorite comedies ever.

Raising arizona was not included because the movie is awesome and his hair is terrible. It ruins my point. Also, i think this is a recent mid life crisis thing for Mr. Cage.

But Raising Arizona proves that bad hair can be used to good effect, a.k.a. comedy.

I don't think this ruins your point; it just adds a further nuance to your theory. I better stop before my comment gets any longer.
