Loved Funeral in Berlin, liked the Ipcress File.
Couldn't warm up to Billion Dollar Brain, and couldn't muster enthusiasm for the later Harry Palmer made for TV movies. What am I missing?

Fourth Protocol wasn't Harry Palmer, but the character was very close.

I don't know about the Harry Palmer movies, never seen them but if you like Michael Caine check out the movie Harry Brown. It's a damn good crime drama.

I got this one on DVD from Amazon some months back, but unfortunately they only offered one that was apparently dubbed in Korean, then re-dubbed in English. The sync isn't great, and is annoying in some places, but it's the only one I could find in US format.

The rest I DVR'd from TCM last year or the year before, so at least I can watch them until our receiver craps out.
