GREATEST BRITISH FILM EVER MADE

 

MICHAEL CAINE ITALIAN JOB

Sir Michael Caine's movie "The Italian Job" has been voted the greatest British film ever made. The 1969 heist classic, about a group of criminals who attempt to steal a van full of gold, notched up 15 per cent of votes in a survey of 1,000 film fans to find the best movie to come out of the U.K. "Monty Python's Life of Brian" came in second, while "The Full Monty" trailed in third with six per cent of votes in the Sky Movies HD poll.

Meanwhile, Sir Anthony Hopkins was crowned Britain's favorite actor with 12 per cent of the vote and Laurence Olivier was a close runner-up with 10 per cent. "The Italian Job"'s lead actor Caine rounded out the top three. Dame Judi Dench was hailed the country's top actress with a quarter of the votes cast, while her closest rival, Dame Helen Mirren, took 14 per cent.
