    Best I've seen, heis one cool guy. I know someone who met him and worked with him, and they said he is the most charismatic man in the whole wide world.....that movie is just awesome.
    I came, I saw, I concurred.....

    P, I LOVE Newman!!! Just had his sauce last night. :p edit: oh gawd, cant wait for the twist-of-response on this.

    awesome movie. I was actually thinking about posting this not too long ago.

    I have to check out some more of his flicks. I just found out that my dad was his fan too!!!

    His wife is pretty damn cool too.

    Patrick, I knew I liked you. ;)

    That is awesome. I couldve met him last spring, but I had a trip to Nepal and India to undertake.

    Thanks for sharing that Juk. I was just talking about him yesterday....we dont have actors like that anymore. My bro's gf laughed when I said that to her....but then again, she took my bro (both pretty young) to a Paul Anka concert filled with seniors....He was on letterman the same night as Pjam. I might ask Mike if he can help me meet him. :p

    It takes me to log in for ((Paul Newman)). :D True gentleman.

    Hope that everyone is having a great night /weekend. :)

    In his best southern drawl Strother Martin says it here vocally at the beginning of GnR's song "Civil War" some classic lines.

    This IS one of my top 5 movies of ALL time just pure power all the way through. You start to feel for the character Luke as Newman fools everyone time after time.

    Many religious overtones in this movie like the scene after the eggs scene where Luke is shone from overhead as it appears he's lying down like Jesus on the cross.

    An Academy Winner in George Kennedy for this movie with his very powerful performance also. Great movie, thanks for the reminder they don't quite make them like this one anymore.

    Man I haven't heard that term in ages, I think one of my 90 year old patients used that term some time ago.

    :D thanks ra-ra! you're not so bad yourself! ;)

    I did see you mention you liked him in a post a while back and I was thinking, "Girl's got taste!" :)

    He really is devine. Inside and out. :) I loved him in Cat on A Hot Tin Roof.
    Can't decide between that and Cool Hand Luke as my favorite of his perfomances. :)
    NOPE!!!

    Woodward and Newman is quite an incredible accomplishment in itself. They compliment themselves perfectly< I guess. How does a Hollywood marriage last?

    I read somewhere awhile back where Newman said his best movie was 'Slapshot.'

    Good flick, not great. Newman may have been at his best with Redford in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and then The Sting.

    Not to mention the earlier films like HUD and The Cincinatti Kid.

    Both excellent movies.

    A classic old movie Luke sure is. That's the problem with today's youth. They have no idea how many classic really old movies were made. This is one of them for sure. :D

    Every Hockey fan should watch Slapshot. You'll end up laughing so hard during this movie. Another great Newman movie. :)

    One of my favorites ever since I was a little girl. :) I've never forgotten the hard boiled egg scene. I'm glad you reminded me because I should sit down and watch it again. :) Actually I think I've collected a few Paul Newman films of late, I'll have to sit myself down and have a Paul Newman fest! :D

    Oh I will. :) I'm pretty sure I've Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid around here somewhere and now that I've remembered Cat on A Hot Tin Roof I've got a hankering to hear Big Daddy say "the mendacity" :D

    Yup. Reckon that'll be my line up:

    Cool Hand Luke
    Cat on A Hot Tin Roof
    Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid

    I'll save the popcorn till after the egg scene. :D

    dude, Jeanie's right. Cat on a Hot Tin Roof IS Paul Newman and Elizabeth Taylor and Burl Ives plays Big Daddy
