Cool Hand Luke, for many reasons.

Cool Hand Luke and Slapshots. Doesn't get any better.

 

[Jerry Johnson]

Cool Hand Luke...hands down favorite

 

[Rich Stern]

There were very few roles of Newman's I didn't enjoy, but his portrayal Frank Galvin in The Verdict was, IMO, the pinnacle of his acting career.

 

[Rodger Tellefson]

"Cool Hand Luke" for me too. "We have a failure to communicate"



Are there several of us here showing our age? :unsure::lol:

 

[Keola P]

I like his organic food products.



Sorry, I had to throw that in the mix

 

[Gerald Pierce]

Cool Hand Luke.

 

[Timmy-The-Ute]

The Silver Chalice

 

[Richard L]

I also think Cool Hand Luke is my favorite, and probably close to being a cult classic.

Okay, since many others are giving a prioritized list, here is my top 10, mostly in order of how well the movie showcased the man's talents AND how much I enjoyed the film:





1. Nobody's Fool



2. Absence of Malice



3. Slapshot



4. Cool Hand Luke



5. Road to Perdition



6. The Verdict



7. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid



8. The Sting



9. The Hustler / The Color of Money (tie due to their tie-in)



10. Cars

 

[Brian Hasledalen 2]

SLAPSHOT. they brought their f$#%#&* toys. I loved the Hanson brothers. he will be missed, Cool hand luke was also great. You know you have a crappy team when you trade your skate sharpener for three players!!!!! I watched it last night.

 

[Collin Lyon]

1 The Sting



2 Butch Cassidy



3 Cool Hand Luke



4 Slapshot (bumps to #1 during hockey season)



5 The Verdict



6 The Hustler

 

[Gary DiPietroSr]

All of the above. I drove past his house in Westport on Thursday and was thinking of him. I enjoyed all his films.

 

[OLE442]

The worst was "Judge Roy Bean" but it is sill watchable. I've seen it once and that was enough. Only dud I know of in his career!



Gary G

 

[Chris Taylor]

1. The Sting



2. Butch Cassidy

 

[Thomas Rogers]

Gary G,



I kind of liked the "The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean".



It didn't make my top 10, above, but then neither did "Fort Apache the Bronx", both both films are quite good, IMHO.



TJR

 

[Galen Burden]

The very best......



Hombre



How you gonna get back down that hill?
