27. An offbeat pick I know, but |

I liked "water"
Not a great movie by any means--but just sort of cheerful, and I think overlooked...
Oooopppsss.
I meant to reply to the main thread---but, oh well my bad. :)

17. How could I have forgotten that? |
|
A great movie - better still, a Woody Allen movie that doesn't feature Woody Allen.

Without A Clue and Noises Off were good too, among many others.

15. Another vote for Deathtrap...But.... |
|
Before "Deathtrap" there was "Sleuth" :) Also Michael Caine, but with Laurence Olivier.
Both excellent films.

Cider House Get Carter The Fourth Protocol Blame it on Rio The Quiet American
but since no one voted for the underrated "Eagle," i gave it some love...only ONE actor can be a convincably well-mannered, noble, and dare i say, honorable nazi....the ONLY WWII movie where I inexplicable found myself rooting for the nazis....all because of Caine

Straddles the fine line between trash & horror classic...
But he's not even in the best part (the Angie Dickenson museum sequence.)
The 2.35:1 DVD version is pretty good. The pan & scan video sucks.

16. I am frightened that he is going to play Nigel in Bewitched |
|
but Cider House Rules as my choice - though I like the line of thinking of the Blame on Rio choice!

20. "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" and "Noises Off!" |
|
Two marvelous comedies. :)
from Noises Off! Michael Caine plays Broadway director Lloyd Fellowes
Usher: Is there something wrong with your seat, Mr. Fellowes? Lloyd Fellowes: Yes, it's facing the stage!
