" Nic Cage turns 50 today, which means he&amp;#039;s now been making the world a more insanely wonderful place for a full half-century. Though many believe that the wild-man actor has devolved into self-parody \u2014 if not outright lunacy \u2014 in recent years, Cage remains one the most wildly idiosyncratic and wholly original stars in cinema history. As if his big-screen legacy weren&amp;#039;t enough, his over-the-top mannerisms and cartoon expressions have begat more Internet memes, YouTube clip compilations, and GIFs (many compiled at the Gifolas Cage tumblr) than virtually anyone else alive, thereby solidifying his status as an online icon as well. In honor of the magnificently mad, manic leading man&amp;#039;s birthday, we present fifty classic Cage GIFs for each of his fifty years. Bang! (Peggy Sue Got Married):  Excuse Me?
