I feel that Cool Hand Luke, Hud, and The Hustler were equally his best performances, and he had many other excellent performances as well (Butch Cassidy, The Sting, and on and on), with very few lesser ones.One of those rare great people whose offscreen persona truly ma

Also kind of interesting that many of the lines that instantly make you think of his best movies were either not spoken by him, or the same line was also spoken by a different character in the movie as well. Like: "Rules? In a knife fight?" "You owe me *MONEY*!" "Who *ARE* those guys?" "What we ha

I, too, mourn the loss of a real star! One day about 20 years ago I was walking into the LA airport (LAX for locals) and Newman was coming out. I opened the door for him and we looked into each other's eyes. I've been around almost 60 years now - and have looked at my share of eyeballs - And

In listing my favorite "Paul Newman" movies, I forgot to mention Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, probably because I don't really think of it as a "Paul Newman movie" because of the incredible performances by Taylor and Ives. But it IS one of my all time favorites, for so many reasons. Too bad Paul Newman a

Robert Benson's TWILIGHT (1998) had Newman carrying a film at 73 along side Gene Hackman and James Garner (two other greats) and it turned out to be one of the best films of the year. He certainly pulled it off. One of my favorite films, period. A must see. It was easy to imagine Newman pl
