Michael Caine Movies

Want to know the best Michael Caine movies?  How about the worst Michael Caine movies?  Curious about Michael Caine box office grosses or which Michael Caine movie picked up the most Oscar® nominations? Need to know which Michael Caine movie got the best reviews from critics and audiences? Well you have come to the right place….because we have all of that information.

My father introduced me to Michael Caine (1933-) in the movie The Man Who Would Be King. Since that 1975 movie I have followed his career very closely. I am probably one of the few people on Earth who not only saw The Swarm at the theater but also Beyond the Poseidon Adventure  at the theater. After years of struggling as an actor, in the mid 1960s he finally became a star with the British films Zulu, Alfie, and Ipcress Files.  Since then he has starred in roughly 90 movies.  Over the years Caine has received 6 Oscar® nominations and 2 Oscar® wins.  Not only is he still popular after a 60 plus year career but he is still appearing in some the biggest movies out there (Inception, Batman trilogy). Currently he is director Christopher Nolan’s good luck charm.  Caine has appeared in the last 7 Nolan films (he has an uncredited voice role in 2017’s Dunkirk).

His IMDb page shows over 170 acting credits since 1956.  In the table below, Ultimate Movie Rankings ranks his movies in 6 different sortable columns.  Television roles, cameos, shorts and straight to DVD movies were not included in the rankings.

  1. HI O ARGUMENTATIVE ONE!
    I have just watched Sir Maurice in 2013’s The Last Love of Mr Morgan’s It unfortunately apparently grossed under $2 million in actual dollars at the US box office and I don’t immediately see it on your massive 95 entry Sir M table but IMDB gives it a high 69% with which I concur.It actually had oblique Dan-like links to both you and me-

    1/Sir M recited a line from Leonard Cohen’s “Anthem” and Len is my wife’s fave all-time singer. The line is”There’s a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in,” and that’s the constant theme of the film

    2/Sir M played a retired university professor who collects stamps and although living in Paris is a Yank and thus speaks in what I imagine would be a Bruce Cogerson accent.

    3/The affinity of Sir M’s character here with my great movie site idol in real life naturally enhanced Sir M’s character for me! Into the bargain his young leading lady is also a teacher in the plot. The actress who played her is a relative ‘nonentity‘ and yet the Great Micklewhite generously allowed her to share equal billing with him [Shame on YOU Spence!].

    It was a pleasure to see a great star acting his age [80 in this one] and yet entertaining us without having to put on heavy makeup and with both legs injured jumping off bridges onto speeding trains!

    He does do a bit of an Astaire/Randy Scott/Joel McCrea by falling for a young woman half his age [there’s hope for me with W o C yet] but no one has the audacity to call him “Young man!” In his heyday of course Sir M didn’t have to take off his shirt or flex his muscles to wow the ladies! As the cliché goes “We will never see his like again!” Keep safe, Teach.

  2. PART-COPY OF A POST ON JASON STATHAM’s COGERSON PAGE

    BRUCE You have now got to 1979 in your annual reviews and I had just been thinking how the following year, 1980, was a melancholy one for me at the time as The Duke had sadly left us in 1979 , Brando semi-retired after 1980’s The Formula [with a massive pay check for doing next to nothing, so probably giving Joel further near apoplexy ]and when ole Mumbles came back in 1989 he was still paid big money for doing relatively little but was not the Brando of old. My classic era females such as Joan, Doris and Deanna had of course long since quit the scene when 1980 came around

    Bright spots were though that my Babs Streisand had come into her own in the late 1960s & the 1970s and of my classic era male idols Sir Maurice [Michael Caine] Micklewhite who had debuted way back in 1950 [in an uncredited role in Morning Departure] continued to shine, astonishingly accumulating over 70 acting award/nominations across the board in the post 1980 period according to IMDB [with 13 of those awards/nominations coming from Oscar/Golden Globe love] and churning out a prolific number of movies including some of his most important ones such as Dressed to Kill, Educating Rita and Hannah and her Sisters.

    As I write he has 3 more movies in production with dates TBA and is just 2 years short of being on our screens for an astonishing 70 years,1950-2018. I think that if you ever produce a “Great Survivors” ranking list he would deserve to top it jointly with maybe Eastwood.

    IMDB’s “Ultimate” List of the 100 Greatest Actors of all time ranks Sir M a high 14th, just two slots below Lord Olivier and immediately above my Jimmy Stewart. That’s the kind of company Sir M has kept!

  3. Read an article in The Vancouver Province about a documentary Michael Caine presents called My Generation – Celebrate the 60’s: The Decade That Changed the World. It looks very interesting. Funny that the Terence Stamp video and page were done yesterday. Caine talks about living with Stamp and making sure that Stamp’s girlfriends did not meet each other.

    Caine has also written a book called Blowing the Bloody Doors Off
