[Film] Timothy Spall or Michael Caine?

[WATFORD zero]

Mrs Wz is watching SMC on the one show and I am a great fan of Zulu, Get Carter etc.

But last night I watched all of Hatton garden on catch up.

Simple question - who is the better actor?

 

[Solid at the back]

Michael Caine, Timothy Spall is a weirdo

Do you mean Hatton Garden?

Do you mean Hatton Garden?

You're nearly as funny as when you blew the biggest conservative majority in the history of mankind in Westdene

Is HE back?

 

[Is it PotG?]

Spall, from Barry to 'Denial' and 'Summer of Rockets'.
Far more versatile.

 

[Goldstone1976]

Do you mean Hatton Garden?

Piss off, Timmy.

 

[The Clamp]

Acting wise, Spall knocks spots off Caine. But I prefer watching Caine.

 

[Weststander]

Love them both. Caine was in several great movies. Spall is a brilliant actor.

 

[vegster]

Caine all the way. so many brilliant films, especially the Harry Palmer Trilogy, Get Carter, Italian Job, Too Late the Hero, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels...... The defence, rests.

 

[BN9 BHA]

Tim Spall, because of Barry in AWP, and he is in Quadrophenia

I've seen Timothy Spall in so many things, and he usually disappears into the role and you see the character. I've seen Michael Caine in many things, and you usually know you are watching Michael Caine. Michael Caine is a dude, knowing you're seeing him isn't a bad thing. And the same can be said of so many big names in film - Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise, Tom Hiddleston, Tom Holland... sorry, got a little carried away there. Sam L Jackson, Morgan Freeman, etc.

As someone who can get distracted by 'hey I know that guy' I tend to prefer it when actors disappear into a role (or when I don't know the actor at all), so I would have to give my vote to Timothy Spall (while feeling guilty, because Michael Caine is dude).

This.

Piss off, Timmy.

Also, this.

 

[banjo]

Spall all day long.

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

Caine and Olivier in Sleuth was an amazing movie, 1972 I think. Just the two of them, that’s acting.

 

[Brovion]

As an actor - Spall by a country mile.

. What an absolute bellend

Piss off Timmy

 

[Garry Nelson's teacher]

Loved Michael Caine in (the original) Alfie. Spall has got more range though. But the trump card for MC is that my missus can't stand him, so I make a point of saying what a fine actor he is...…………….

 

[Perfidious Albion]

Spall.
