My top 5 favourites:

These lists are subjective, but what are your favourites, and how many of the top 50 have you seen?

Doors off, bloody etc!!  |

The little known p0rn he did where he performs felatio on Jim Morrison, Ray Manzarek, Robby Krieger and John Densmore, then accidently does it on a roadie.

Not a fan of M.C. at all, Dressed To Kill and Harry Brown were both OK 'ish' but those two aside I'm not particularly bothered about any of his other films personally.
|
|
By:
not the best film, but that taxi scene with angie in dressed to kill has turned me on for last 40 years.angie
  |
|
By:
Strangely, I've never actually SEEN the Italian Job. Very memorable in Zulu though. For me probably that.

The muppets Christmas carol, just for people who love actors

I have a soft spot for Michael Caine.
I don't fancy him but he is a working-class Londoner like me and there are not many cockney actors still living. I think his best films are where he is basically playing himself. I think he was perfect in Alfie because he didn't have to act! |
|
By:
I recently watched My Generation to kill some time whilst on a flight, well worth checking out, Caine on narration duties.

The krays where good actors,they made a few films ,but with a little bit or look,just a little bit of look ,people will see they are no better than YOU

Sorry will take that back ... forgot there’s no trees or countryside down south all you have is the BBC

And believe it or not the beeb are trying to reproduce jackanory,..... says it alll
|
|
By:
yeah alfie for me.
caine is supposed to be really nice too, plenty of stories from his time filming in gateshead, to back that up. |
|
By:
Are you from Gateshead donny? I go up there a couple of times a year to see my mates and my Aunt and Uncle and to see Crystal Palace away. One of my mates is rather famous/infamous in that neck of the woods!
|
|
By:
Caine wouldn’t be my favourite actor by any means but he was brilliant alongside Larry Olivier in Sleuth.
|
|
By:
However, Christopher Reeve and Caine worked brilliantly together in Deathtrap which is a deliciously good, fun thriller with a sensational twist.
|
|
By:
top 5 & Harry Palmer nowhere, what a disgrace. Cider house rules too, ok film he was a standout in it.
me & mike would disagree about a lot but he is an acting ledge |
|
By:
Get Carter
Ipcress File |
|
By:
Jaws 4, he took it for the money & stayed with his pal Sean in the Bahamas during the filming. Can't really argue
|
|
By:
I forgot Alfie .
|
|
By:
Blame It On Rio is a shocking omission.
|
|
By:
Blame it on Rio as a dirty old man banging a teenager is his finest role

I didn't want to say

my parents are from gateshead, and their parents. my parents moved north of the tyne to newcastle when they got married, they dont know why, but the did and i was born in newcastle, i temember you talking about staying in gateshead when watching the footy. i cant say i know too many folk in gatehead apart from family. |

remember

By:
Get Carter & his James Bond rip offs is all that spring to mind. The Italian Job was crap imho, & Alfie, although made for him bored me
he suffered from the BFI trying to posh his accent up; just like they did in Zulu, which lots of critics never let him forget |
|
By:
I didn't even know there was a Jaws 4, can't have been a big hit!
|
|
By:
I like Caine find most films he's in are watchable which is more
than you can say for about 90% of actors |
|
By:
My favourite was Too Late The Hero.
Others: Zulu, The Italian Job And the Harry Palmer films, particularly Funeral In Berlin and The Ipcress File. |
|
By:
... and of course Get Carter, Mona Lisa and The Man Who Would Be King. He acted in some good films.
A Hill In Korea was one of the first War films that I ever saw and was Caine`s first big break, but I can`t remember much about it tbh. Coincidence indeed as Caine actually fought in the Korean War - "Not a lot of people know that".  |

The Ipcress File
The Quiet American Good in all his films, very professional actor |
|
By:
Alfie
The Italian Job Zulu...... A fine actor from poorest area of london.....boy done good......"Not many people know that!" (Educating Rita) |

Reading this thread has reminded me that he was in some very good films. I suppose reading umpteen reviews where he was in bad films, their opinion, has coloured my view of his acting abilities, but not now thanks to chit chat. When I get a tv i will endeavour. to see them |
|
By:
As you say, tictac, the boy done good. From umpteen interviews I have read he seems a decent man too.
|
|
By:
He went to the same school as my mother (John Ruskin Primary, off the Walworth Road).
Not a lot of people know that. |

I think I like michael caine because he is one of us. I can't relate to most of the actors today.
