Wild at Heart is the clear favorite for me. I'm a big David Lynch fan, and that movie is just deliciously bizarre.
As far as hidden gems, I don't know. I haven't seen a large portion of his filmography, and I'd guess that what I've seen is probably his better known stuff. Not much help there, sorry.
I'm so glad someone else mentioned Wild at Heart, that is without a doubt my favourite Cage movie of all time. He's in vintage form in that film. It's so funny too, like legitimately funny. Kind of like that one he did with Elijah Wood, The Trust. He was fucking hilarious in that movie, it felt like a return to vintage form, he got creative with it. A lot of people hated it, I guess because of the abrubt ending, but if you focus on Nic's performance it's a truly great movie. I'd call that a "hidden gem" for sure. More people need to give it a chance, it really is a great film
