*note: Nicolas Cage turned 20 years old in January 1984, so all movies prior to and even some that came out in, were all filmed while he was in his teen years.
**note: he did not have a film released in 1985, which will be the last year he does not have a movie being released for the duration of his career (as of my writing this in 2023).
