Ipcress, Funeral in Berlin, Billion Dollar Brain.

[minestrone]

Pretty sure I have not seen spy who came in from the cold as I had that saved on SKY and waiting to watch recently.

I think the Caine was sent across to find a kidnapped child, there is a woman in a watch repair shop that is his contact. I think the films are all blurring into each other now.

I seem to remember one where he was cooking a meal with tomatoes and red wine at the start.

Oh, this thread again.

Zeity, did you know Harry Palmer came out of retirement for Bullet to Beijing (1995) and Midnight in Saint Petersburg (1996) ?

Perhaps there would have been more, but according to the trivia section in the IMDB page for the St Petersburg film:

Michael Caine stated in his memoir that the making of this film and Bullet to Beijing, "was my worst professional experience ever" and that he decided to quit acting during the production. ...

Dunno if anyone else has seen the two Harry Palmer films from the 90s?

Not exactly wonderful, but they occupied an otherwise even more tedious several hours.

Which one featured the Army type in an Austin-Healey 3000?

"The Spy that came in from the cold"?

I have a hazy memory of a fight in Berlin where the bad guy gets speared by a set of drills.

I thought it was in one of the Harry Palmer films, but it wasn't.

Are you perchance thinking of the punch up in The Odessa File (1974), with John Voight?

Was in a print factory as I (vaguely) recall, and the baddie ends up impaled on some printing machine gadgetry.
