Time to watch a Paul Newman movie

I would surely add The Verdict......not only a great role for Newman, but a superb movie overall. I try and watch it once a year and am always moved by it.

Paul Newman was 'old school' Hollywood, where his fame and success were founded on is work in film and not to how many club opennings he'd been or how many covers he was on or whether he appeared in 'Who wore it best?' week after week.

Paul Newman was an actor first, a celebrity second - the way it used to be when the story took precedence to the special effects.

As Canadians, we're obligated to watch 'Slapshot' before our 16th birthday but until last week my only other Newman movies were 'The Sting' and 'Butch Cassidy...'

Last weekend, we saw 'Nobody's Fool' and now I want to see the others on your list. Eventually all of the Hollywood greats will be gone and we'll be left with a succession of poorly made duplicates, each less worthy of their income and celebrity status than the previous.

Seriously: Paul Newman's left toe is worth a thousand Spencer Pratts.

One of my favorite Paul Newman movies rarely mentioned is "Sometimes a Great Notion." I'm no critic so there could be all kinds of things wrong with the movie, but I love it anyway.

TCM does not have broadcast rights to THE STING or THE HUSTLER... which is why those two films are being shown on AMC next week instead.

Empire Falls was Paul Newman's last live action movie, which he also produced. It is one of my favorites. He is old school Hollywood. He is a legend. But more importantly he was a great human being that everyone should want to emulate.

My favorite is The Sting, he is just so damn charming in it. And as cheesey and embaressing it is to admint, I really love him in The Towering Inferno, the combination of him and Steve McQueen, it is the epitome of sexy cool... the both of them just emulate that... I also love Butch & Sundance and the Hustler

Even Paul Newman's Role in 'Road to Perdition' was unique..his take on the 'old school' irish gangster mob boss was superb. I will miss him.

As young as I am, Cool Hand Luke is one of my top 10 movies. One of the reasons I love my boyfriend is tht he has Paul Newman's eyes (lucky me). I would definitely add Slap Shot to this list. Hopefully I can kidnap the remote long enough to watch a couple of these movies.

How can all these people leave out the quirky but brilliant, "The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean." Superb cast of characters (John Huston, Roddy McDowell, Tony Perkins, Tab Hunter and Ava Gardner) and countless "one liners" that always get a snicker out of me.
