Top 5 - Paul Newman Movies

Today would have been Paul Newman's 93rd birthday. Here's my 5 favorite Paul Newman movies - not saying they are his best just MY favorites.

1. Slap Shot - perhaps the best sports movie ever.
2. The Sting - a classic but these days seems a little long
3. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
4. Cool Hand Luke
5. (tie) The Verdict (tie) Absence of Malice

Just missing the list was The Hustler.

  1. Dog up the original novel of the hustler. It fleshes poor George C Scott's part greatly, radically alters huge female lead, and bookends the whole story nicely with minor characters.

  2. The best thing about the movie version was Jackie Gleason. He was a fantastically talented person.
