Top 10 Michael Caine Performances 

What do you think should have been number 1?

love this man. he decided, in the beginning of his career, not to give up his Cocney accent ( like Roger Moore did), and is almost always far better then the movies he is in. Michael Caine is one of the best actors ever.

Alfred Pennyworth Is An HONRABLE MENTION WHATS THE MATTER WITH YOU PEOPLE

Michael Cane is a true legend you don't get many actors or people for that matter who are of his calibre anymore

My late wife was his house insurance agent.She told me he insured a rug for $100,000, twice the value of our house in 1982.Great actor and Englishman,and always paid his premium on time. 👍 👍

Caine is such a legend who's films will live on forever!

Sometimes I have to wonder whether or not these people actually watch the movies they're basing reviews on. It's not rocket science to figure out in The Italian Job, he's not buying the car. It was garaged while he was doing locked up. Part of the scene was him distracting the garage clerk while he recovers his thieves tools before discussing the garage bill. How do you confuse all that with 'buying a new car' if you actually watch the damn movie????

He was the first actor I figured out was in multiple movies. I Watched Cars 2 in 2011 where he voice acted Finn McMissile (my favourite character in that movie), and then a few months later when I saw him in Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, I heard him speak a few lines as Alexander before shouting "FINN!! IT'S FINN MCMISSILE MOMMY" at the top of my lungs in the middle of a movie theater. Few bad looks from everyone else, some blushed faces on my parents, and a happy 9-year-old me for finding the connection. I was proud of myself.

Have always loved Michael Caine as an actor...from when I was younger til now. One of the greats. So glad we can still own alot of his older films on DVD, etc. Forever a top notch performer..who will always be remembered 🙂🙂💟💟

He’d be great as THE DOCTOR in doctor who! Sign him up!

he was awesome as Uncle Garth in Secondhand Lions!

You put Zulu in an honourable mention? Christ

I'm glad Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is mentioned. Great film.

His turn as Prof. Brand in Interstellar is certainly worthy of an honourable mention. I'm not sure there's been a more emotionally weighty scene in Caine's career than Brand's deathbed scene.

Michael Caine served in the army his duty. We in Helsinki remember him with his drunken fist fight with a Finnish sailor and after they shared a good stiff drink. Thats the Man!

How dare you leave out Scrooge from The Muppets Christmas Carol!!!

It's a fairly good list but his role of Bromhead in Zulu should be more than an honourable mention. It was his first major role, he blagged the audition about being able to do an upper class accent and the film is awesome.

Michael Caine is one the best actors . Excellent performance . distinctive Cockney accent, and realistic . Love his movies.

Michael Caine should had got a Oscar nomination for A Muppet's Christmas Carol.

Zulu was his break out role.

My favorite comedy drama with Michael Caine is "Blame it on Rio" .I still laugh out loud at a couple of the scenes.

Not his best performance but loved him in the movie Second Hand Lions if i remember it is the first movie he made where he had an American accent, Second Hand Lions is a great family movie and quite funny.

Loved Michael Caine as Alfred Pennyworth - he had such a presence as a man who's watching Bruce Wayne do something he feels is right, but may wind up killing himself doing. If like to also praise Mr. Caine for his turn as Ebeneezer Scrooge in "The Muppet Christmas Carol". He's wonderfully wicked as miserly Scrooge, and really magical once Ebeneezer finds the Christmas spirit - and his heart - again.

The man NEVER blinks.

I'm too young to have been in love with Michael Caine but I remember all the grown up women swooning over him. I never saw what the big deal was. Many many years later, I was walking down the street and Michael Caine and his wife came strolling by.... OMG !! he was a mature man by then but holey moley, he was SOOO attractive !!! Very tall, very manly, very well dressed and drop dead handsome !!! And his wife is absolutely GORGEOUS !!!

I just watched get Carter yesterday what a masterpiece

The Eagle has landed and Educating Rita should be on it

Michael Cain the greatest man ever lived in my book. Loved all his movies.

I absolutely loved get Carter.

The closing scene in the Holcroft Covenant is just brilliant when Helden shots herself after she realises that Noel knows shes also in on getting the fortune... His character starts to slowly cry in one take as the camera pulls out still in focus...

I've seen him in many movies before, but last week when i watch children of men that's where I appreciate his performance he, he somehow gives soothing feeling especially playing jasper.

This has made me want to rewatch all his early films.

Scrooge? The muppets Christmas carol? Not even in the honorable mentions?!!!

I think Harry Brown maybe should have been number one. It’s not often you get such quiet and sympathetic menace like that. I would also have included Youth and Educating Rita, but it’s difficult to know where they would have slotted in with this list.

Ipcress was my first experience of Caine... after that, I was hooked!

How is Zulu not number one, where’s his appearance in the Battle of Britain

I like his Nigel Powers performance, I thank you

Sleuth was with out a doubt the best!

I had the pleasure to have a brief chat with Mr. Brian W Cook once in Berkhamsted who worked with him on early movies and told me that Micheal Caine despite the fact that he was a bit demanding he was one of the few who could pull it off with ease, rating him one of the best in the business.

Michael is truly living legend .He still in contunues to act in very well received movies like most recently tenet.

Italian Job should have been #1

Michael Caine said in a 1983 interview that Educating Rita was his best performance to date. I'm inclined to agree with him. Though I saw Sleuth for the first time last night and I was hooked for the entire 2hrs20.

If you go old movies my personal favorite were,”ZULU” and,”The Eagle Has Landed” both classics, love them!

The Battle of Britain

How is Caine’s performance as Alfred just an honorable mention?! That might be my favorite performance from him

Spot on great list

Brilliant choices, well done...

The special surprise at the end was worth watching the full video without skipping the sponsor. Thank you pooderpe! And

I think you could of put his "Battle of Britain" role in Honourable mentions, he did fantastic in that film.

Get Carter is definitely my number 1 too . I also liked him in lesser known films like The Island , Swarm and Sweet Liberty ( with Alan Alda from Mash ) .

“You’re only supposed to blow the bloody doors off” Loved the Italian job😂😂. Should’ve been number 1 in my opinion

SIR MICHAEL CANE

You know your an awesome Performer when at 3 of your Movies have been remade (Alfie,Italian job and Get Carter)

Woah… Educating Rita??? Or even Little Voice!

Every Michael Caine film is either brilliant or fkn brilliant.

I actually liked him in interstellar

John Preston in The Fourth Protocol.

The first movie I watched him in was The Cider House Rules, and that is still one of my favorite performances of his. And I was Missing Educating Rita and Scrooge from Muppets Christmas Carol in at least the honorable mentions.

They also forgot his performance in Battle of Britain, an outstanding film indeed. And the scene of him sitting in his spitfire waiting to take off. "What do you want us to do flight, stand down or take off. The engines are overheating and so am I".

Exactly! Get Carter!

Zulu and The Man Who Would Be King are my favorite movies.

Im american and i love michael caine

Michael Caine as Lawrence Jamieson in "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" is my favourite role of his.

What about Educating Rita?

Yep definitely Get Carter no 1.I would of liked to have seen Mona Lisa get a mention!!

New fan!

My hero of all time.

I won't claim that these roles are necessarily better than the ones on the list, but here are a few that I enjoyed: :Lloyd Fellows--Noises Off: This was a fun ensemble piece about a play that is going increasingly off the rails with each iteration, thanks largely to the conflicts among the cast, director and assistants. Caine played the director who gets sucked into the madness and has some wonderfully comic moments throughout the film. Sydney Bruhl--Deathtrap: Based on a play, this film features Caine as a Broadway producer who has a run of flops, but runs across a manuscript that is a surefire hit. This is the setup for murder and mayhem and quite a few plot twists. Caine did a great job of portraying the somewhat over the hill producer who desperately wants a return to glory. Alfred Pennyworth--Batman Begins, Dark Knight, Dark Knight Returns: This should have been more than an honorable mention, since Caine's Alfred did a great job of attempted to ground the increasingly erratic Bruce Wayne. More than any other character (and certainly more than the Burton/Schumacher iteration), Pennyworth grounded the series and showed that Batman/Wayne was not the most stable hero.

He is so outstanding

Had to be Get Carter......Caine at his very best along with the rest of the cast.A real gritty movie reflecting the era it was made .

Great number 1

How could you leave out such classics as Jaws: The Revenge and The Swarm (lol)

I totally agree with Number 1

The man who would be king and dirty rotten scoundrels are my favorites.

Lieutenant Bromhead ought to be in the top 10. It's just so good.

You missed another of Michael Caine's comedic films;- Without A Clue.

Escape to Victory, Austin Powers, Miss Congeniality, any role he does is brilliant

Love that movie funny. Steve & him to much All his shows were great. Love that man.

Where is The Eagle has landed, Escape to Victory, Educating Rita, The Muppet Christmas Carol, Little Voice, and many, many others? Next time do Top 25 Michael Caine Performances.

Why isn't this on the original Watchmojo channel? We Americans love Michael Caine too!

Well at least you mentioned him in Zulu... HE MADE THAT FUCKING MOVIE... One of my favorite movies of all time.

I love Michael Caine true great cockney legends😅

What about Reginald Kinkade/Sherlock Holmes in 'Without a Clue'? Absolutely hilarious, and he plays off so well opposite Ben Kingsley as John Watson.

Alfred should be in the list at least.

So arguably 2 of his most well known roles (Alfred Pennyworth and Scrooge) aren't in the top 10. And yet the thumbnail is of Caine as Alfred. Huh.

Yesssss, Jack Carter no 1, I agree with that. My all time favourite Caine performance. " Do you wanna be dead, Albert?"

Shock To The System shiukd have at least been in the honorable mention! SO underrated!

An orthodox list for people who haven't seen enough of Caine's films. How can it not include Dr Frank Bryant from Educating Rita?! He's also fantastic as Mortwell in Mona Lisa, Sidney Bruhl in Deathtrap, The Captain in The Last Valley, Tosh Hearne in Too Late the Hero...

Forgot about Nigel Powers. Austin Powers 3 goldmember.

Not the Muppet Christmas Carol? That should have been top 5 for sure!

What about Children of Men? Did you he was a friend of John Lennon?

Everything he did is number 1. I have more of his movies than any other actor.

I'm surprised 'zulu' was only a honourable mention as he was fantastic in his introducing film and I'm also surprised the 'eagle has landed' wasnt even mentioned. Sometimes these seem / are rushed n I cant help think this is one of them

Carter at number 1...well done. Definitely Caine's finest hour.

just a reminder he voiced Finn McMissile from CARS 2

Other films have been missed is Bewitched, Little Voice, Miss Congeniality.

Wow, every movie a classic. I would put Milo Tindle of Sleuth #1, but that's because I am most familiar with that film.

Michael Caine is the best British actor of all time.

You can watch any movie. I’ve seen him be interesting to watch in average to poor movies. How many actors can you say that about.

Surprised there was no mention of Educating Rita, too!
