He then proceeded to spend the next 12 hours watching Nicolas Cage films that he personally programmed with the most rabid Nicolas Cage fans in the country. And also presiding over an in-theater marriage proposal.

Every year for the last four years, programmer Greg MacLennan has lined up a secret marathon of five Nicolas Cage movies, one of the most popular events at the Alamo Drafthouse. This year's event sold out within five minutes after going on sale. And every year, a valiant attempt has been made to host the man himself in celebration of his cinematic life. In 2016, things came close and he sent a letter to the audience, promising if it were scheduled for another year he would make an appearance. "This is and will always be the greatest day of my life, I apologize to my unborn future child," said Alamo Drafthouse programmer Greg MacLennan.

"I'm thrilled to say I made it to C4GED. I've been trying to get here before, never happened, but I was always very touched that this was occurring here in Austin," said Nicolas Cage.

The 2017 marathon at Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar was programmed by Nicolas Cage himself, selecting the following lineup. Mr. Cage watched all 5 movies with the audience.

Sex Tape Review: Overly Sexual, Rude, Vulgar, and Absolutely Hilarious

The raunchy Sex Tape will divide audiences and critics, but who cares? Sex Tape suggests a growing practice among loving partners: that of making a raunchy testament of their escapades for posterity. But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device. The reason for the act - termed in the movie as pulling "the full Lincoln " for its three-hour length - stems from the couple's non-existent social life, brought on by the constant demands of their children. The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim...
