Happy Birthday to Maurice Joseph Micklewhite. He turns 75 today. Who is Maurice Joseph Micklewhite you ask? This man is  In my opinion, he is one of England's finest actors. Cant think of any Michael Caine movies that i havent liked. My favorite Michael Caine movies The Italian Job (the original) Your only supposed to blow the bloody doors off  Escape to Victory. Double wammy, a war film and a soccer movie all in one. And there are many, many others.

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)

Mark's right, anything of his is watchable. I liked Ciderhouse Rules and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.

Every one always associates the original Italian Job to Michael Caine/Michael Scott, or SIR Maurice Joseph Micklewhite

Gotta be one of the hardest working actors ever! In hundreds of movies. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels with Steve Martin! I laughed till I cried! "Rupert! Get down, Rupert!!!
