I present to you the best MOVIE actor of all time; Sir Michael Caine!
What a career! And it is not over yet! Here is my top Caine movies in chronological order. Note here that we have such classics as “Get Carter”, and “A Bridge too Far” as well as more modern master acting classes as “Little Voice” and “The Cider House Rules”.
