No contest....The Verdict. (he was robbed for the Oscar!)

Butch and sundance -- an all time movie favorite of mine

the sting "you're boss is quite the card player . . . how does he do it?"
"He cheats."
yeah, i know, newman doesn't speak in this quote, but they ARE referring to him, and its my favorite quote of the movie ::wolf smirk::
these are all excellent, older newman films and in some of his much more recently work, i thoroughly enjoyed him in road to perdition

Nice list Holden. I could mix up any of your top three in my top three position, though I expect most of the time I'd say The Hustler is his best performance.

Re: Paul Newmans, best Movie
 

Cool Hand Luke.

Re: Paul Newmans, best Movie
 

What! No Slap Shot!!

I love that movie! . One of the truly hilarious un-PC comedies ever, yet the theme is far more pertinent than so-called serious films made nowadays. I just watched it again last night. :cool:

This is the cleaned-up American trailer:

Re: Paul Newman's Best Movie
 

i rather enjoyed him in Road to Perdition..great movie, and great acting...

Re: Paul Newman's Best Movie
 

Cool Hand Luke, for me. I haven't seen many of his films (in fact, I think the only Newman flick I've seen is Cool Hand Luke).

I absolutely love Cool Hand Luke, though.

Re: Paul Newman's Best Movie
 

Only seen both Cool Hand Luke and The Sting. Prefer the former, though both were great.

Re: Paul Newman's Best Movie
 

Gotta root for Luke.

Re: Paul Newman's Best Movie
 

WITHOUT A DOUBT COOL HAND LUKE

Re: Paul Newman's Best Movie
 

The Verdict is my personal favorite.

Re: Paul Newman's Best Movie
 

What's your impersonal favorite film of his?

Just giving you ****.

I've seen parts of The Verdict, but not all of it.
