f 6 - 20 October

Cover story: Nicolas Cage On 4 October 1985, a new magazine hit the newsstands, setting out to map the changing face of culture in Scotland. Twenty years later, other magazines and newspaper supplements have come and gone, but The List is still on the scene. We still publish the most comprehensive information and the sharpest ideas about the arts and entertainment scene. Back then, we put Clint Eastwood on our cover, and today you’re looking at another Hollywood wild boy loner, Nicolas Cage. He’s probably the unlikeliest film star you can imagine, but if you look back at this man’s extraordinary career, there’s a filmography that betrays a surprising passion for innovation and experiment, alongside a taste for big, ballsy blockbusters. A bit like The List, really. See feature, page 20.
