Actor I went for? You know his name.

"You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!"

**fernandito** · 08-09-2011 08:04 AM

I had to vote for Nicholson. The man is brilliant.

**DoctorDodge** · 08-09-2011 08:13 AM

Very true. In fact, I did have a bit of trouble choosing between the two. But Harry Brown was fresher in my head, and I have a feeling Nicholson will (quite rightly) be getting a lot of votes in this round, so I thought Caine deserves to be in the top two as well. I hope he is by the end of the round.

**Mattrick** · 08-09-2011 08:15 AM

Love Michael Caine but Nicholson is one of the greatest.

**fernandito** · 08-09-2011 09:26 AM

Same here. Had Caine been in a different group I might have given him my vote, but Nicholson owns any film he's in. He's also delivered some of my all time favorite performances, namely McMurphy and Jack Torrance.

**Ricky** · 08-09-2011 09:58 AM

Michael Caine. Always Michael Caine.

and Jake Gittes. I really really wish Caine was in some other group. I hope he'll advance, too.

**candy** · 08-09-2011 10:01 AM

Voted Nicholson,

Caine is always in good films, but he doesn't own them like Nicholson does
(That being said, i think as they are getting older, Caine is becoming the better of the two - damn shame they are in the same vote off- but hopefully both will go through)

**Stockerlone** · 08-09-2011 10:10 AM

Jack is the Greatest, Caine is amazing , but i vote for -The Man Who Shot Liberty Vance-

Lee Marvin...

**pathoftheturtle** · 08-09-2011 10:25 AM

Round 1, Group A and already tough choices. Why do I keep coming back to these contests? I forgot about the agony involved!

**Mattrick** · 08-09-2011 11:12 AM

Nicholson got my vote for Five Easy Pieces alone. Not to mention Melvin Udall is about my favourite film character ever.

**fernandito** · 08-09-2011 02:28 PM

I freakin' love him as Melvin Udall too. "Woah, woah, woah Elephant girl what are you doing ? Go get Carol."

**DoctorDodge** · 08-09-2011 02:32 PM

"How do you write women so well?"
"I think of a man, and I take away reason and accountability."

And this is why you should never meet your heroes!

**fernandito** · 08-09-2011 02:34 PM

I JUST posted that on FB !

**DoctorDodge** · 08-09-2011 02:52 PM

Great minds think alike! Well, english speaking guys with other nation's blood, short black hair, and cool glasses think alike, anyway!

**Mattrick** · 08-09-2011 03:05 PM

"People who talk in metaphors oughtta shampoo my crotch."
"Carol the waitress. Simon the fag."
"HELP!! HELP!! Get your hands off me! Assault and battery...and your black!"
"What are you looking at? You want food? Well we don't got no dog food here and we don't want no dog food here! You'll eat what we got!"

One of my all time favourite movies.

And for those don't realize it...the girl he says "and I take away reason and accountability to" is Rita from Dexter.

**frik** · 08-10-2011 08:05 AM

Went for Caine.
Nicholson brilliant??

Nah......just Nicholson.....

**fernandito** · 08-10-2011 09:00 AM

Lee Marvin is gunning for that second berth ...

**Jean** · 08-10-2011 09:04 AM

oh no. Please some more Caine votes.

by the way, DD - did you see Educating Rita?

**DoctorDodge** · 08-10-2011 09:06 AM

Yes! My mum loves that film! She used to watch it over and over again. It's been a while since I've seen it though, and I think I need to give it a good rewatch.

**alkanto** · 08-10-2011 09:12 AM

Voted for Michael Caine. All are pretty brilliant, but I enjoy Caine's movies better, in general.
