What's Your Favourite Paul Newman Movie?
Ask a Question
I watched Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid last month and it set me off on a Paul Newman filmfest. I've seen a dozen or so since and so far my 3 favourites are The Color Of Money, Hud and Coolhand Luke.
It's on my yet to see list. Of those I've seen so far, there's only one that I can't recommend and that's the long, hot summer with Liz Taylor. Most of the film is shot in a single apartment, and Paul Newman plays an unlikeable character.
I might make Nobody's Fool the next to watch. I've read the reviews, they are all very positive.
Yeah I can understand the interest - very underrated, I think. I've even been keen enough to watch him in a couple of black and whites but prefer to see those blue eyes. Coolhand Luke and Butch Cassidy being my favourites but I really enjoyed his parts in The Sting and The Road to Perdition.
I like him in The Sting. Although, I wouldn't mind watching The Hudsucker Proxy again. It's quirky and fun.
I had completely forgotten that one and yes it was quirky and I think Tim Robbins (another reliable actor) was in that one. Thanks for the reminder.
My kids favourite Paul Newman movie was Cars. My favourite movie he appeared in was The Towering Inferno and I was lucky enough to stay in the featured hotel in San Francisco a long time ago.
