Michael Caine

Michael Caine, Nigel Green

Starz / Anchor Bay, 1999

The Non-Glamorous, "Gourmet" Spy
"The Ipcress File," is first in a series of three movies made from Len Deighton books, produced by Harry Saltsman, directed by Sidney J. Furie, and with a sound track by John Barry, all of them apparently taking breaks from their other, more famous spy series, the ...

Battle of Britain

Michael Caine, Trevor Howard

MGM/ UA Home Video, 1996

Battle of Britain
Dear Amazon: The Blu-Ray "Battle of Britain".............is so clear and superb quality. Viewing the movie in the Blu-Ray format makes this part of history more profound. A history of WW II lover's delight for enjoyable viewing coupled with great audio quality. ...

A Bridge Too Far

Dirk Bogarde, James Caan

United Artists, 1996

Operation Market Garden
The title says it all. This is a story about the invasion of the netherlands that was supposed to bring a quik end to Nazi resistance in the ETO. For the most part it is historically accurate, and has an all star cast. The special effects were supprisingly well done ...

Jaws: Revenge

Lorraine Gary, Lance Guest

Universal Studios, 1992

One of not many who enjoyed this film
I am a big fan of the Jaws series. Wasn't too fond of Jaws 3. Loved the first 2 and then it came down to this one. Did I like it? Of course I did. I don't go and question how a great white shark got into the Bahamas waters or anything like that. I just enjoyed the ...

Sleuth

Laurence Olivier, Michael Caine

Video Treasures, 1998

Delicious, literate fun! Too bad it's temporarily out of print. . .
SLEUTH is, yes, temporarily out of print. Don't be fooled into thinking that you have to spend an exorbitant amount of money to get a copy of this wonderful, wicked movie: it's been issued on DVD twice by Anchor Bay, the last time in 2002, and now that Anchor Bay is ...

Secondhand Lions (Slip)

Haley Joel Osment, Michael Caine

New Line Home Video, 2004

Even my husband loves it...
This movie is one of very few family-style movies that my husband (Army, police officer, lover of explosions and Die Hard and that) loves. It's funny, but even more than funny, it has a wonderful message. It's impossible to nitpick the good or the bad with Second ...

Surrender (1987)

Sally Field, Michael Caine

Warner Home Video, 1993

Michael Caine as the Ultimate Underachiever
Why has this not been released in DVD format. I absolutely hate the fact that a terrific movie such as this will go unnoticed, to a whole new generation of movie goers. This movie allows Michael Caine to flex his acting chops, and portray the futilistic, down on love ...

The Wrong Box

John Mills, Michael Caine

Columbia Tristar, 1998

A prayer to the DVD gods
Among many others, I, too, remain bewildered by the absence on DVD format of this brilliantly hillarious film. All the performances mentioned in these Amazon reviews were terrific; I just want to add Wilfred Lawson's butler Peacock for special mention.

Little Voice

Brenda Blethyn, Jane Horrocks

Walt Disney Video, 2000

Gigantic talent
4.5 stars, rounded up to 5. Jane Horrocks, who played numerous characters in the cult English sitcom "Absolutely Fabulous", shines here as a sorrowfully shy girl with a talent beyond belief. After her father died, many years ago, she resigned herself to listening ...

The Muppet Christmas Carol

Michael Caine, Dave Goelz

Jim Henson Video, 2002

A feast of festive fun!
"Christmas is a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely" --Charles Dickens. Attempting to celebrate Christmas ...

Hannah & Her Sisters

Lewis Black, Michael Caine

Orion Home Video, 1994

A film that has everything it needs; a complete package to put it bluntly...
I have not seen a lot of Woody Allen movies; he's one of those directors that I really need to research and dive into. I've seen `Match Point' and loved it, and I've see `The Sweet and Lowdown' and thought it was decent, but his classics like `Annie Hall' and `Hannah ...

Italian Job

Michael Caine, Noel Coward

Paramount, 2003

The Italian Job
The Italian Job Let's face it, this movie and this version of it with Michael Caine and Noel Coward is a must for all MINI Cooper owners. It fulfills all the fantasies we enjoy about our grand little cars. The movie is a great romp and never pauses with its cast of ...

Destructors,the

Michael Caine

Anchor Bay, 1990

Atypical Michael Caine role
Forgotten 70's thriller about a huge drug kingpin, James Mason, being tracked by good guy Anthony Quinn. Pretty ordinary stuff with the exception of Michael Caine as a charming, kooky hitman. I recommend it simply because of his fine work in the film.

Without a Clue

Michael Caine, Ben Kingsley

Orion Home Video, 1989

Absolutely Hilarious!
Basil Rathbone: His life and his films Shadow Watcher Nobody Drowns in Mineral Lake WITHOUT A CLUE (1988) is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. I love this movie! That said, I have to wonder why this inventive spoof of Sherlock Holmes was not a huge ...

Noises Off...

Michael Caine, Carol Burnett

Touchstone / Disney, 1994

Noises Off
Great Received in good condiditon and timely order. It was a gift so I didn't view it.
