Two Sirs, No Love:

Parkinson: Will this southern fairy ever get to the point?
Caine: Does this northern monkey understand a single word I'm saying?

Connelly: Ha' y'e'er notic'ah don' ha' many consonan's in me?

I loathe celebrities as a religion and I dance on their graves when they die, but I swear as my mother is mean...when Michael Caine and Ray Davies* die, I will indeed kneel down and become a a supplicant, bleeding child. I swear it. I will.

* as in The Kinks...for the woefully uninformed'

"DON'T YOU...FROW...YOU BLOODY SPEAHS...AT *ME*!"

(that's the only Cane I've got)

That was awesome. I'm kinda choked up. Fuck you.

Oh yeah? Wait until you hear my Ray Davies story!

I like Michael Caine. He's an original. Nobody else looks like him or sounds like him. So many of the newbies are so interchangeable, I can't tell them apart. Give me Caine, Bogart, Jimmy Stewart, John Wayne, Cary Grant, etc. etc. any day.

And don't forget "The Man Who Would Be Shaun"

Genius. I had just looked up this oldie but good with Coogan and Brydon's Caine-off, too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!

My wife and I will periodically pull out "She was only...sixteen...years old" at random intervals. Love it.

(And from the same movie/show: "GENTLEMEN, TO BED!")

More importantly, BILLY CONNELLY!!!

Michael Caine has to rank amongst the Top 10 "Most Fun Lives Lived"

His memoir is amazing
