  Educating Rita
  The Man Who Would Be King
  Zulu
  Alfie
  Ipcress File and Funeral in Berlin
  The Italian Job
  Victory
  Hannah and Her Sisters
  Mona Lisa
  Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
  Get Carter (light years better than the recent remake!)

  are my favorites.

  He's also been in some stinkers. Who can forget "The Swarm" and "Jaws - the Revenge?"

  Caine has always been one of my favortite actors.

  Kind of surprised no one's mentioned it. A young Sean Connery, to boot, too.

• Perhaps not my all-time favorite Caine... - ToshiroMeyers 06:24:19 07/06/04 (6)

  Tin,

  While the film itself drags along, Caine was quite good as Pvt. "Tosh" (the irony) Hearne in "Too Late the Hero".

  It was made in either 1969 or 1970.

  Denholm Elliott and Cliff Robertson co-star in this WW2 drama.

  But my all-time favorite Caine is...Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.

  Ruprict!!!!!!

      well, especially American to French.
      Everyone I know thinks that film is hilarious---Brando plays on a much earlier role he did as a paraplegic, of course. Brilliant!

        It has to do with translation. I saw the film twice or more it was just flawed. When you says that all the people you know do find it to their liking, I am amazed.
        Tomorrow I will grab critics and let you know.
        This film had it all. But never realised.

  In Reply to: Michael Caine: favorite roles? posted by tinear on July 05, 2004 at 16:48:27:

  remarkable achievements, such as "The Quiet American," and "Cider House Rules?"
  At his age, most actors are content to collect a paycheck for a cameo...Michael shows he has the endurance of Armstrong!
  He also made a short documentary on acting which is brilliant.

    Really? I find both definitively lost in the 60´s and or 70´s. They are fun watching for that but not for their intresque quality, for being really good films.
    And I saw them both not long time ago.

      and not as dated or unsalvageable as "Alfie"
      While Michael Caine has been in a lot of films I wouldn't rate too many of them as great, and some like "Little Voice" and "Hannah and her Sisters" are downright lousy; these two the best of a bad lot(?)

  The one in Mona Lisa. The character is so vile that I truly can't stand Michael in that role.

  Or maybe that means he was good in it?

  That was indeed a great role - Mortwell. He built it up gradually but relentlessly.
