Favorite Paul Newman movie

[firewindwater1]

Thought i'd start this thread as a tribute to the late, great Paul Newman....
Don't know how many responses to expect, since he may have been a bit before your times...but the same would apply to me as well then (being some 60 years his junior), so that aint no excuse 😛

if i had to choose one, my favorite would be The Sting (1973). and yours would be?

Butch Cassady and the Sundance Kid. 'Nuff said.

 

[melanie2]

"Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" meow Maggie the Cat..

 

[MistressValerie1]

The Towering Inferno

 

[Cbarton]

Butch and Sundance or Cool Hand Luke...

"What we have here is a failure to communicate...."

 

[Dr. Bill Kobb]

I was automatically gonna say Cool Hand Luke, but firewindwater1 reminded me of how great a movie The Sting was.

But then I got to thinking about The Life & Times of Judge Roy Bean...

Shush, you. Don't even give those bankrupt clods in Tinsel Town any ideas. Before you know it we'll have Matt Damon and Will Smith as the leads...:unwell:

The Sting

I would REALLY like to see that one again. It's literally been almost three decades since I first saw it. I suspect I'd only appreciate it more now.

Good lord. I hope that's one of those movies that never makes it out of the pre-production stages. I really don't see why these people have to piss on the classics like they seem to feel they need to do.

 

[Tantrum]

The Hustler.

 

[Violetta]

I'm all about Butch and Sundance. Great movie.
