10 Great Actors With Over 30 "Rotten" Movies On Rotten Tomatoes

7. Michael Caine

No. Of "Rotten" Movies: 33 For a man who has reportedly built his career out of never turning down a script (at least, that's what the London-born actor claims), Michael Caine has done surprisingly well. He's only managed 33 "Rotten" movies over a long and otherwise prosperous run. Whilst there's a sense that most actors on this list need to re-think their career strategies, Caine seems okay to just soldier on, doing business as usual. After all, based on his liberal approach to filmmaking, you'd have expected a lot more "Rotten" flicks. Michael Caine turns up in something and makes it better through presence alone; a naff picture can be improved for the amount of minutes that Michael Caine is in it, after all. Yes, he's made some terrible stinkers (Jaws: The Revenge is the stand-out travesty), but on the whole Caine's filmography seems to read as such: one good film, one bad film, one good film, one bad film... and so on (though he did just make five good films in a row - class).
