Biggest Movies of Michael Caine AFI (Complete)

Postby Kyle » Sat Jun 10, 2017 7:17 am

The Adjusted for Inflation Bureau is stolen from poorpete (who first had the idea to make this a game here), who stole it from Doug Benson at Doug Loves Movies (which everyone should be listening to). Here's the rules:

1- Post up with a movie of Michael Caine that you think has the highest domestic box office gross adjusted for inflation. Thus, even though the new Star Wars movie is the highest grossing domestic earner, if we adjust for inflation, the title actually goes to Gone With the Wind. This includes cameos, if they are listed for the actor on boxofficemojo.com.

2- After you make a post- you can only guess again AFTER I HAVE TOLD YOU IF YOU ARE RIGHT AND HAVE AWARDED POINTS. Thus, if you make a guess- please don't guess again until I've acknowledged your guess.

3- Your guess must be done off the top of your head. No research. No googling. No referring to Imdb. Obviously, no referring to Box Office Mojo. Just use your brain.

4- This game is on the honor's system. But if you cheat, please understand that you're just ruining the game for everyone. There's nothing at stake. We're just all trying to have fun.

5- Points are awarded for the top 20 movies of the actor, in reverse order of their place on the list. Thus, 1 point for the 20th movie. 20 points for the top movie. If you guess the movie at the bottom of the list, you get 5 points.

I will try to periodically update this first post with all the guesses, points awarded and standings.

MOVIES:
1- The Dark Knight
2- The Dark Knight Rises
3- Inception
4- Austin Powers in Goldmember
5- Batman Begins
6-
7- A Bridge Too Far
8- Interstellar
9- Miss Congeniality
10- Kingsman: The Secret Service
11- Now You See Me
12-
13-
14-
15- Hannah and Her Sisters
16- Cider House Rules
17- Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
18-
19- On Deadly Ground
20- The Prestige

MOVIES (NO POINTS):
22- Secondhand Lions
58- The Holcroft Covenant
NOT LISTED- The Eagle Has Landed
NOT LISTED- Alfie

STANDINGS:
Mike- 57
poorpete- 50
Phoebe- 23
Bluedevyl- 20
Tahlvin- 14

This is a hard one because he has been in so much, often not starring. But because I love him, I pick one of his greatest even though it may be weak on $$ comparatively:
The Cider House Rules
Such a great movie!

On Deadly Ground

(I've got an enormous weak spot for bad action movies... Seagal, Van Damme, Stallone, Schwarzenegger... it's like they made The Expendables specifically for me)
