Michael Caine/Harry Palmer
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.

And it was a great movie.

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.
