Film School Rejects: Win a Copy of Cool Hand Luke on DVD!

windycindy · 1 year ago

I like him as "Butch Cassidy!" The chemistry between Robert Redford and him was magical! Thanks, Cindi
Christy Schultz · 1 year ago

I liked him in The Long, Hot Summer as Ben Quick. I like that movie because it is one of the first movies I remember seeing.
peter · 1 year ago

Well, coincidentally, my favorite Paul Newman role is as Luke in Cool Hand Luke. The way that each of his characters has carried a certain smugness, you know it will always get him into trouble at some point. Well in this movie he is already in trouble, being detained already, so I like the tenacity he shows to keep his spirits up.

And the egg scene is good fun, and classic cinema.
kelvin hobson · 1 year ago

It has to be Luke,he was made for this film,and the film itself is a classic!
Darren Perleberg · 1 year ago

Fast Eddie Felson in "The Color Of Money".
kerri · 1 year ago

mine is also fast eddie that movie was great
Michael Sweet · 1 year ago

My favorite character is Henry Gondorff from The Sting. He is so smooth, he plays a drunk
very VERY well and he's funny as all hell. The relationship between him and Redford is
classic in that movie, the mentor and mentoree. He nailed that part.
Will C · 1 year ago

My favorite Paul Newman character is Cool Hand Luke, I love his acting in that film, and always having that slick grin on his face no matter what. That film is one of my all time favorites
April · 1 year ago

There are so many great Paul Newman roles, but I'd have to say my favorite is Henry Gondorff in The Sting. Paul was perfect in that role and I couldn't image any other actor playing a scoundrel quite as good as Paul did.
Sarah · 1 year ago

I think Paul Newman's best role was Brick in Cat On A Ht Tin Roof. He was amazing and the chemistry among the entire cast was perfect for the film. I've seen the play several times, but I still don't think anyone can beat Paul Newman's performance.
Tom · 1 year ago

Henry Gondorff in "The Sting". To this day I start my morning by plunging my face into a sink filled with icy cold water.
Matthias Galvin · 1 year ago

Frank Galvin.
I find that Paul Newman's finest hour was in Sidney Lumet's The Verdict. Newman played the part with such subtlety and an quiet, unspoken dignity that it's one of his finest performances. I think that the collusion of things made his performance that much better. In addition to just having the right "fit" for the part, he was the right age, and had the right experience of enough of life to have (in some ways) identified with his character.
Linda N · 1 year ago

My favorite character is HUD. Such a sexy bad boy!
ddog · 1 year ago

favorite newman role for me was reg in slap shot him and the hanson brothers were fantastic and have always loved that film. my favorite sports film of all time.

I'M LISTENING TO THE FREAKIN SONG !!

ah the film has so many classic lines and newman was fantastic in the film.wish there were more movies like this nowadays.
marleenandlouie · 1 year ago

My favorite of all time? Wow, tough, but I'd have to say Fast Eddie, the Pool Player--playing against Jackie Gleason--what a performance by both of them!
Ken Robinson · 1 year ago

Paul Newman as Luke Jackson in "Cool Hand Luke"
Harold · 1 year ago

Butch Cassidy - it was the very first movie I've ever seen him in, and it was one of
my favorites for a while.
Mike · 1 year ago

Hands down, cool hand luke. He had such strength and even more weakness all hidden
behind his eyes. a great performance that in my opinion holds its own against the likes of
brando. And newman makes one heck of a salad dressing...
Ethan S · 1 year ago

His role as Butch Cassidy is a favorite of mine. He was really memorable and the chemistry between Robert Redford and him made that film a classic.
danielle dipasquale · 1 year ago

my favorite has to be as luke in Cool Hand Luke~he's the classic American rebel with such character, his character never waivered to conform with the others...
love him in that film, but then again, there really wasn't a film I didn't like him in :)
Eva · 1 year ago

I liked him as John Russell in Hombre.
David Hollingsworth · 1 year ago

His performances in films such "Hud", "Cool Hand Luke", "The Verdict", 'Butch Cassidy", and "The Hustler" were absolutely iconic, but I always respected his beyond riveting portrayal of Rocky Graziano in "Somebody Up There Likes Me"; he just exuded the physicality, with a very rare ruthlessness, vulnerability, and truth that is extremely hard to come by these days. It was a very difficult part to play, but he nailed it perfectly, and you'd think that he would be terrible in giving the New York accent, but he pulls it off flawlessly, to the point that you could actually believe that he was from New York.
Jon · 1 year ago

Without a doubt, "Cool Hand Luke" is my favorite Paul Newman role. Especially since his bit with the soda cans was lifted for the film "Prison on Fire" (aka "The Prisoner").
Uber · 1 year ago

Henry Gondorff in The Sting is my favorite because he plays a better sly character in it then in CHL.
agordon10 · 1 year ago

Butch Cassidy was my favorite
Cathy W. · 1 year ago

Butch Cassidy was my favorite character that Paul played because he was able to make me laugh even during the serious parts of the movie. He had such diversity in that role.
mverno · 1 year ago

hud played a great heel
Stephen Alexander · 1 year ago

Luke because it showed a version of the south few in the north had ever seen.
Erica C. · 1 year ago

fast eddie :)
Amy Tucker · 1 year ago

I would have to say Butch Cassidy. He totally rocked in that movie.
Raz · 1 year ago

I still have yet to see many of his classics. One that I have seen is the Sting and it really stood out for me. He played the likeable con artist to a tee.
Wes · 1 year ago

Paul as himself- the founder of Newmans Own. His acting talent is obvious, but to create an organization that not only offers great product, but also provides incredible humanitarian benefit and $$ to less fortunate individuals. He is a true hero to mankind.
Sandy · 1 year ago

loved butch cassidy- he is so talented
Tyler Mann · 1 year ago

My Favorite Character that Paul Newman has played is Reggie "Reg" Dunlap the once great player/coach of the Charleston Chiefs. The way he led his team with those massive bloody fights on the hockey ring was hilarious. Followed by a close second with Cool Hand Luke. It is hard to beat Paul Newman full of 50 eggs about to pass out., but a think Reggie stole it.
christopher h · 1 year ago

gordon · 1 year ago

Paul Newman has always been an exquisite man!
Auriette · 1 year ago

Wow. I just went to IMDB, and I think the only Paul Newman movie I've seen is "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid." Isn't that weird? So, I'd have to say Butch Cassidy. Or could I say that I prefer him in the role of my great-aunt's neighbor? Well, former neighbor. They both used to live on the same street in Connecticut, back in the 1970s. I don't know if they hung out, my I remember my aunt saying she really enjoyed watching him mow the lawn.
Jennifer R · 1 year ago

Definitely Luke (Cool Hand Luke)....what a sexy man!
Jill L · 1 year ago

I am not a Paul Newman fan at all, but this movie definitely rocks. I have watched it so many times with my husband. It would be a great win for our collection.
Jay French · 1 year ago

Sully Sullivan in Nobody's Fool. Reminds me of folks I knew in my hometown.
Peggy Gorman · 1 year ago

My favorite is Butch Cassidy
Kristen Hendricks · 1 year ago

I haven't seen him in too many movies unfortunately. But I have always enjoyed him as Reggie 'Reg' Dunlop in Slap Shot and Doc Hudson in Cars. I have seen many clips of him as Luke in Cool Hand Luke and also enjoy him as that character.
Jason Fiske · 1 year ago

Fast Eddie in The COlor Of Money. This is when I began really taking an interest in actors and actresses in movies. Just coming of age and it wasn't all about the cartoons and entertainment value. He was incredible in the movie and really sent me to the video store to get the vhs of all his other movies. Hey, Cool Hand Luke, The Sting, Slapshot.....all great movies, but I have to credit THe Color of Money to introducing me to Paul.
Geoff K · 1 year ago

My favorite Newman performance was as Brick Pollitt in the 1958 adaptation of "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" - Paul handles this complex Tennessee Williams character with ease, and the tense push-and-pull chemistry he had with Elizabeth Taylor was electrifying.
kathy pease · 1 year ago

the fire chief in towering inferno..that was a great movie :)

My favorite character is HUD.
Samantha Pruitt · 1 year ago

fast eddie was great, he did such an amazing job in that part!
Kathleen Lewis · 1 year ago

"What we've got here is a failure to communicate." â€” spoken by "Luke", from Cool Hand Luke. My favorite because I was given the nickname at 9 or 10 and it wasn't until years later that I saw the movie and understood it. Unfortunately, the name fit.

In contemporary usage the line is usually an illustrative mockery of the principle behind it; the allocation of blame or fault for refusal to agree with or accept a powerful nemesis. The phrase is often articulated with a Southern American drawl in imitation of the character who first delivered the line.

Suanne Giddings · 1 year ago

My favorite Newman performance was as Fast Eddie Felson in the Color of Money. He did an incredible job of bringing back the character he played in The Hustler. He really deserved the Oscar he received for his acting ability in this show!
Erica G · 1 year ago

Fast Eddie was my favorite. I love th e movie The Color of Money.

Butch Cassidy. Such great on-screen chemistry!

I loved Newman as Gen. Leslie Groves in Fat Man and Little Boy because the General is a powerful figure at a turning point in the war and Newman is outstanding in the role.
Buddy Garrett · 1 year ago

I liked him as Hud Bannon in Hud because his performance was so awesome.
Sand · 1 year ago

I loved his character of Max Roby in Empire Falls. He just melts into that character, so different from who he is as a person and you're just so carried away by his performance.

Luke in Cool Hand Luke. My son is named Luke...
Alex · 1 year ago

I saw Paul Newman in the audience at a New York play. There was more interest in him than the show. My favorite role of his was Henry Gondorff in "The Sting". The fun he had in the poker game on the train is classic.
Bridgette KolesarWilliams · 1 year ago

I loved him in: Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. The chemistry between him and Redford was electric. I remember watching an interview Redford was doing of Newman at Newman's house a few years back, and it was the funniest thing I had ever seen! You could see the mutual respect that they had for each other, and why they were friends to the end. I believe we have lost a true humanitarian, excellent
actor, and a friend for all mankind. Paul Newman you will be greatly missed
Carrie · 1 year ago

It's hard to choose but Luke because it changed the definition of cool. An anti-hero could be the lead character in a motion picture.
