Michael Caine film tops list of Britons' favorites
"Get Carter," a 1971 movie starring Caine as a London gangster investigating the mysterious death of his brother, topped other classics such as "Life of Brian" and "A Clockwork Orange" to secure the top spot in Total Film magazine's list, released Sunday.
"Caine's character is now seen as one of the greatest anti-heroes of all time," said Total Film editor Matt Mueller. "It has stood the test of time and marks the pinnacle of his career."
Total Film polled 25 movie critics for the survey.
"A Matter of Life and Death" (1946), starring David Niven as a British wartime aviator who cheats death, came in second.
