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.
That's a good list. All enjoyable films, unlike The Hustler and Hud, which are better movies.
ReplyDeleteHave to admit that I've never seen Hud
ReplyDeleteFantastic film, brilliant acting (Newman should have won the Oscar), reprehensible character, somewhat unpleasant to watch.
