After many years of having it on my "need to see" list, I finally got around to purchasing and watching GET CARTER.  This is by far the most vicious character Michael Caine has portrayed in his long career.  His sadistic side sort of "sneaks up" on you because most of the movie is a lot of dialogue as he pieces together the mystery behind his brother's death, but suddenly, in the final 30 minutes or so, he unleashes his fury on a few unfortunate hoodlums.  He slaps women around and beats the crap out of men with equal vigor.  And I especially liked the ending.  Recommended.  The screenplay is here: www.dailyscript.com/scripts/getcarter.html

I haven't seen Stallone's remake, but I heard it stunk so I'll probably leave it alone.

You should watch The Italian Job if you haven't seen it. It's another good Caine crime movie from the same period.

A girl told me she didn't know who Michael Caine was, probably just to see my reaction  Buggedout, so I
emailed her the trailers to The Ipcress Files and Get Carter

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
