Pajiba's resident viral video genius, Harry Hanrahan, has done it yet again. You may know Hanrahan's previous works, such as the 100 Greatest Quotes from the Wire, the 100 Greatest Horror Movie Quotes of All Time, and Nic Cage Losing His Shit, which I posted here back in November. 
 
In what I can only consider to be an extension of keeping the Nic Cage Promise (someone should really create a Wiki for the Promise), I bring you Hanrahan's latest Nic Cage-inspired bit of madness. Much has been documented on the ever-dynamic properties of Nicolas Cage's hair, as evidenced HERE and HERE, but none so thoroughly and definitively as in today's Anti-Productivity. Enjoy!!
 
For those who want to know which style corresponds to each film in the acting luminary's career, Pajiba has been good enough to provide a list! Read on!

Since you've read this far I figure you deserve some BONUS CAGE NEWS! Check out this crazy-ass interview Cage did with an Indian newspaper. In it, he discusses his castle, Indian film (oh which he's seen ZERO movies), the air he breathes, and how he thinks Season of the Witch is "historical".

I didn't even need to read who the author was to know this was a Pope classic.

I absolutely hated his hair in Adaptation even though I loved the movie.  Gone in 60 seconds or Zandalee probably top my favorite hair lists.  Gone in 60 seconds is his best short hair and Zandalee is awesome for the longish hair and pretty good facial hair.

I just relived every Nic Cage movie I ever saw and im still not sure if it was awesome or one of the worst moments of my life.

As he's gotten older, his hair has grown more and more sentient!

Cage seemed way more willing to get his hair screwed up for a movie in the early days.

I'm just saying, the sheer amount of totally messed up hair went down sharply as the video continued.

I could tell which one was Face/Off not because of the timeline or anything, but because there are doves in the background. Oh, John Woo... 
 
Nice to see his turn as Fu Manchu mentioned here.
