Movies for the Blind is the debut album of American rapper Cage. Released by Eastern Conference Records on August 6, 2002, the album peaked at #12 on the Heatseekers chart, #14 on the Top Independent Albums chart, #58 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, and #193 on the Billboard 200.[4] Palko later stated that Movies for the Blind "sort of glorified drugs" and that he felt the album was "crazy for the sake of being crazy [...] [It] was just kind of an angsty, bullshit record. A few songs on there I liked, and I had a few things to say that were fragmented in there within a lot of randomness".[5]
The movie poster seen on the album cover is a parody of the They Live poster.
