Your Favorite Paul Newman Movie?

[skeptic49]

Hollywood great Paul Newman died today after a long battle with cancer. He was a humanitarian as well as a talented actor.

I suppose my favorite Newman movie is "The Sting." He and Redford were wonderful together, as they were in "Butch Cassidy..", but in "The Sting" we also also get to watch a wonderful ensemble cast perform, we get a great plot with a surprise ending, and a wonderful musical score. MR. Newman displayed that famous smile with a twinkle in his eye in that one!

He will be missed.

He was 83 years old.....what a wonderful long life giving so much pleasure to so many.

I will vote for "The Sting" also.
And he sure makes a wicked good salad dressing line.

Cool Hand Luke ... "I can eat 50 boiled eggs"

 

[Superbob]

What a great actor and great man -- did a lot of good in this world quietly, without showboating.

I will mention "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" as one of my favorites.

What a great actor and great man -- did a lot of good in this world quietly, without showboating.

I vote for the "Sting" also. I have the 'Sting' as a ring tone on my cell phone.

Mr. Newman was also involved in Indy Car Racing (Newman & Haas Racing Team), which my son attends and has a few pictures of Mr. Newman in the pits.

A sad day.

Sad to hear Paul Newman died! He was such a wonderful actor!

I loved all his movies but the one that sticks in my mind the most is, "Cool Hand Luke".

 

[Dina]

I'm really sad to hear this , he was a great man seldom seen in Hollywood.
My favorites were "The Sting" and "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof".

 

[Mary]

He was a lovely man.

I have a special fondness for Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, so I'll pick it.

Those are some beautiful pics! They were all so good in that-what a
volatile movie.

What a great picture! He played in so many good movies. Cool hand Luke and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, favorites. He will be missed.

Paul Newman gone at 83

Paul Newman gone at 83

Seems like all the ones I grew up with are leaving us now.

 

[Phyllis]

I always loved "blue eyes". The older you get, Ross, the more is gone- both people and places.

"Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid"
"Exodus"

I'll never forget what he said regarding his wife, Joanne Woodward.
When asked why he didn't take advantage of the multitudes of
female fans,he replied why should I get hamburger out when I have
filet mignon at home.
I heard that his wife was insulted,but I'm sure she thought it funny too.

I know I am sad to see him go.

Oh no...this is what happens when you miss the nightly news.

 

[aussigal]

I vote for The Sting!...and so does my mum! What a handsome fellow he was.

 

[Bonzo Dog]

Another vote for Cool Hand Luke. Films with doomed anti-heroes in the lead role do it for me.
A snatch of dialogue as Luke talks to Old Man (God)

Luke: Anybody here? Hey, Old Man. You home tonight? Can You spare a minute. It's about time we had a little talk. I know I'm a pretty evil fellow... killed people in the war and got drunk... and chewed up municipal property and the like. I know I got no call to ask for much... but even so, You've got to admit You ain't dealt me no cards in a long time. It's beginning to look like You got things fixed so I can't never win out. Inside, outside, all of them... rules and regulations and bosses. You made me like I am. Now just where am I supposed to fit in? Old Man, I gotta tell You. I started out pretty strong and fast. But it's beginning to get to me. When does it end? What do You got in mind for me? What do I do now? Right. All right.

[Gets on knees, closes eyes and begins to pray]
Luke: . On my knees, asking.

[Peeks up with one eye, waits. Then opens eyes and crosses arms]
Luke: . Yeah, that's what I thought. I guess I'm pretty tough to deal with, huh? A hard case.

[Clicks tongue]
Luke: . Yeah. I guess I gotta find my own way.




When asked Why he was cutting the heads off parking meters Luke replied
"Small town, not much to do in the evenin'."

 

[WayneGM]

The Sting is my fav....followed closely by Butch Cassidy and Cool Hand Luke.

He'll be missed.
