He's been in a few. You have a favorite bad Michael Caine movie?

The Hand (1981)
Ashanti (1979)
The Island (1980)
Beyond the Poseidon Adventure (1979)
The Swarm (1978)
Jaws: The Revenge (1987)

growing up i liked Jaws 4 but i haven't seen it in years so who knows what i'd think of it now.

you can add Shock to the system (1990)

Hannah and her sisters  (1986)

Mona Lisa (1986) 

Ashanti (1979)
The Island (1980) those 2 i haven't seen yet.  The Swarm he if i recall considers his worst film and it's like Really ? he's done far worse

I bought JAWS 4 dvd cheap recently. probably not seen it since the 90s? can't believe some of the one-liners he comes out with. proper cheese-fest

the funniest thing from that entire movie is simply the reason why Caine even did it!  he did it cause he wanted to build himself a house and well he did with the money he was paid for appearing in it. and as he would later say and it's a nice house too

similar to why Betsy Palmer agreed to FRIDAY 13TH, she wanted a new car... assumed the film itself would be forgotten in 6 months

The Wilby Conspiracy is his worst.

HANNAH AND HER SISTERS is a GREAT film.   :question:

The Island (1980) was pretty bad as I recall.

The Last Witch Hunter (2015) with Vin Diesel was fun.  Bad, maybe, but fun.  Caine's role was relatively brief, but essential.

It was actually worse than that. Waste of my pocket money.  :wink:

I forgot about The Eagle Has Landed: wonderful book, terrible cinema adaptation.

I wrote one of my "dumb film" reviews for that one.  I remember you pointed out the same then and it must be 10 years ago...  :thumbup:

 

To answer you question, that'd be it.  It is SO bad, I watched not too long ago at TCM and enjoyed it like a nauseating bonbon. 

i guess we can agree to disagree about Hannah & Her sisters (1986) i watched it on TCM years ago and i thought it was one of the worst movies i've ever seen in my life. wonderful cast & well acted film and good directing but the script was just plain awful. it was on TCM just the other night i think it was ? i watched a few minutes of it and i was right away bored again. 

i haven't seen all of Caine's film like i don[t think Alfie (1966) is that great of a film it's not among his worst cause it's a meh film. and there are a couple more big movies that were huge for him that i thought were meh and forgettable films but many others love.  The Last Witch Hunter while not among his best films but i enjoyed the hell out of it. apparently they are working on a sequel and that one i would love to see

Wow, no one mentioned this?

No.   :thumbdown:  Elbow.  Maybe my favorite film.  

What about BLAME IT ON RIO?

The girls were hot, but that really was a rather bad movie!

Who'd have thought MICHAEL CAINE should be our mascot?
I do remember an interview of MICHAEL CAINE and he said something to the effect of "I have made a lot of sh!t." 
MICHAEL CAINE has made so many bad movies it's hard to pick a favorite... (beyond poseidon)

that is one i really don't remember if i saw that one and i think i have but it's such a forgettable film that i prolly don't remember it for that reason. though Educating Rita (1983) that's one of his Best. ya know The Hand (1981) in itself doesn't sound like a bad idea for a film if you think about it but it's too bad the film suffers from such a bad script. i'm not much of a woody Allen Fan i can say that there isn't that many i've seen of his,

i haven't seen Annie Hall (1977) so i'm not calling that one awful. Match Point (2005) i went and saw and i thought it was a decent movie. The Curse of the Jade Scorpion (2001) i did really like. everything you always wanted to know.... (1972) was just plain terrible and Play it Again Sam (1972) was also terrible. but Scenes from a Mall (1991) i do enjoy. so that's about it from the ones i have seen of his. i know it's not a woody Allen thread but i'm just explaining myself better that's all.

as for Caine. Sleuth (2007) was an okay film that's about it an okay film. Blood & Wine (1996) was terrible, Surrender (1987) is Painfully bad.

The Fourth Protocol (1987) is also another bad one. i'm looking at IMDB cause these are so forgettable i need to look them up

 :buggedout: :buggedout:

Yikes: Sir Michael looks like a wax dummy with a bad hairdo.  :buggedout:

I did not like the ITALIAN JOB (1968)
Maybe because of the English pub song soundtrack.

MICHAEL CAINE is in ANNIE HALL?   :question:

No- he's not.

Yes.  I know he's not.   :bluesad:

If he is he is hiding real well! Not a fan of Woody Allen, but I like Micheal Caine!

He IS in the other WOODY ALLEN movie cited as a possible "worst MICHAEL CAINE" an assertion to which I disagreed.   :thumbdown: :tongueout:

What about the Harry Palmer movies?
Given, I've only seen The Ipcress File (1965) & Billion Dollar Brain (1967)....

I will disagree with that. I can't stand any Woody Allen movie.
The guys a whiny creeper.

Y'wonder why I don't call ya?   :teddyr:

The creep married his own adopted daughter. Gimme a break.  :lookingup:

honestly Woody Allen also gives me the creeps, he plays the same character in all his films though he is a good director though i do give him that. there's plenty of movies people love that i just can't stand and that's fine Hannah & her sisters (1986) is just one of those films i thought was terrible and if he likes it he likes it  that's why i say to agree to disagree cause haven't an argument over what's good and bad about it just isn't worth it.

as for Caine yeah The harry Palmer movies the Ipcress File (1965) i didn't care for it's not a bad movie for me it's just boring the 2nd one though  Funeral in Berlin (1966) i did quite Enjoy.. Billion Dollar Brain (1967) i have not seen yet,  i have seen Midnight in St. Petersburg  (1995)  and i forget the other one.

those i saw years ago before i saw the 60's ones.  The Italian Job (1968) is one of those films where it's slow for about the first hr or so and it takes quite a while to pick up. i enjoy it though it's not among my favorites and i'd love to see the Original ending cause they did shoot an actual ending cause it hadn't ended on a cliffhanger like that Originally but i dunno if that footage still exists i hope it does and is found one day as i would love to see it.

that one was that they were gonna do a sequel to it but than it bombed when it came out and the idea for a sequel was of course dropped

the creep also had kids with her as well i believe you forgot that

I didn't forget. I choose not to remember.
The guy gives me the willies.
And his movies are NOT good. Unless you like listening to a rich whiny child molester complain about life.  
f**k him.  :hatred:

With his buddy Jeffery Epstein

i didn't realize they were friends to be honest and that does not surprise me one bit to be honest

I don't want to defend or talk about WOODY ALLEN... And she was not his daughter adopted or otherwise.  We were talking about MICHAEL CAINE, but you're a runaway train.  You need to STOP wading in when I'm communicating with another member.  Put a cork in it.   :thumbdown:

I'm sorry if I offended you, John.
I go off on weird tangents, because I'm getting cabin fever.
I know that's not an excuse for being rude, but it's the truth. Sometimes I think I'm loosing it when I'm straight or sober.

We're good and I'm guilty fer shoor. 

I thought The Island was decent picture better than Batman the Dark Knight Rises.

Rises i liked but it's not among my favorite Caine films either. and Caine just lost his best friend with Sean Connery dying at 90. no joke they were pretty tight and if i recall he said Sean was sick about a year or so ago.
