In a Michael Caine Mood

The Man Who Would be King is fun.

Get Carter (the first one)

Sleuth (the first one)

California Suite

Deathtrap

Educating Rita

Hannah and Her Sisters

The Cider House Rules

Quills

The Quiet American

Children of Men

Youth

Alfie. There was a time it seemed like he was in every movie. Wonderful actor.

He's one of the most annoying actors of all time-- the male version of Katharine Hepburn.

I love him. Anything. Watch anything he's in. Even in his dotage he is brilliant. I like the small British films where is is an elderly schemer.

His second Oscar is bullshit. He hustled hard for that one.

Zulu, Children of Men, Hannah and her Sisters, Deathtrap

I even liked Caine in the last Austin Powers movie.

Who ever thought that one day, Caine and Beyoncé would share a movie screen together?

He was magnificent in “Educating Rita”.

I second The Quiet American.

Love the suggestions everyone. Thank you!

[quote]and the awesomely ridiculous killer bee movie.

Shame on you, OP!

SHAME!!

Sleuth

King of Thieves

Flawless (Demi Moore)

Love watching Liz and Mikey go at it in "X, Y, and Zee."

Caine's not great in it, but Zulu is an excellent film.

The Ipcress File is a good B&W British spy thriller from the 1960s. Amazing now to see how post-Blitz London still looked in the early 60s.

DIRT TAY ROH TEN SCOUNDRELS

I think Children of Men is a masterpiece, I think I've seen it 5 or 6 times. Caine is great but it's a minor role that Sean Connery or Ian McKellen or any ageing British actor could've done.

I highly recommend Harry Brown.

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is a lighthearted watch and an absolute delight. I rewatch it at least once a year.

Op here. I love his highly varied mix of work, spanning decades. Last night I got stoned and made a poor choice, which was Beyond the Poseidon Adventure. Caine gives and gives but can’t save this mess.

I will have to review this thread for better ideas.

Noises Off.

He’s hysterical as the frustrated director.

I found Deathtrap and rented it. Caine was quite sexy back then. Christopher Reeve was really good looking, but I’d have rather had some rumpy pumpy with Caine.

I was glancing thru his autobiography at the library.

He seemed to think Educating Rita was his best work. Sounded a bit bitter he didn't win the Oscar for it. Made a point of saying how it was four British actors against Robert Duvall so Duvall won. Also said he has never seen Tender Mercies.

He and Duvall worked together on "The Eagle Has Landed" and "Secondhand L:ions." Caine said Duvall is a brilliant actor and nice guy, but has a short fuse; when a pub ran out of lobster at lunch, Caine said Duvall punched out a glass door pane with his bare fist. Good thing he won his Oscar that night.

On his first visit to the USA to do the movie 'Gambit' he tells about being recognized by John Wayne in the lobby of the Beverly Hills Hotel.

You can have fun watching one of his first film appearances, as a Nazi. THE TWO-HEADED SPY (58), directed by one-eyed Andre de Toth. On Youtube and Tubi.

Get Carter (1971)

Mona Lisa, a debatable character

California Suite .... but only for the segments with Caine and Maggie Smith.

GAMBIT with Shirley Maclaine

He's fun in Miss Congeniality

He impresses me as a big star who doesn't take himself too seriously, and treats people nicely.
