How about “Bang the Drum Slowly”? I loved watching old movies/t.v. shows with my dad and I can still remember watching that one with him when I was a teenager.

There are a lot of talents out there, but Newman really was special. “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” wasn’t chopped liver. And I can’t imagine a better Fast Eddie Felson.

But I think he was a better man than he was an actor and that’s really saying something!

“Cool Hand Luke” is very good but far too many people have never seen “Nobody’s Fool.”

For a sheer great time at the movies, I might agree with you Tim. Although the Sting gives it a good run for the money as well.

As a serious role, Cool Hand Luke was probably one of Paul’s best, but you can’t beat the tongue in cheek humor, the Burt Bachrach soundtrack, photograpy and memorable scenes from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. One of the best movies Paul Newman ever made.

Good story about the ad lib. Well, other than Casey Kasum and Wolfman Jack, Tom Bodett’s voice is certainly one of the top recognizable voices for me.

OK, let’s add to the Tom Bodett piece. Did you know that “we’ll leave the light on for you” was an ad-lib? And, really, does anyone anymore know who Tom Bodett is beside the guy who does the Motel 6 commercials?
