His chameleon-like ability to inhabit any character, from the working-class lad to the distinguished gentleman, has kept him working and esteemed for a very long time.Today, I want to go over what I think are his ten best performances. Let's dive in.10. The Italian Job (1969)Director: Peter Collinson Writer: Troy Kennedy Martin Cast: Michael Caine, Noël Coward, Benny HillIf I had to hear Michael Caine's voice saying one quote for the rest of my life, it would be: "You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!" Caine playing Charlie Croker is the epitome of cool. He leads a gang of lovable rogues in a fun gold heist across Italy. He's got charm, wit, and a plan that's just crazy enough to work. This film is pure, unadulterated fun, and Caine is the ringleader.9. Get Carter (1971)Director: Mike Hodges Writer: Mike Hodges (based on the novel "Jack's Return Home" by Ted Lewis) Cast: Michael Caine, Ian Hendry, Britt EklandCaine's badass turn as Jack Carter is a masterclass in controlled rage.
