I damn fine actor RIP Mr Newman

I only know him from Cool Hand Luke and Butch Cassidy & TSK, both classic films. Great actor RIP

Mr Cool

RIP

One of my favourite actors, many classic films but my favourite was 'Somebody Up There Likes Me'.

RIP

Rip mr newman. Lost count of the times i sat down with my grandad to watch the hustler

Cool Hand Luke - one of my favourite filsm of all time and one of the great cinema characters. A really good actor and from all accounts a really good person. RIP.

Had a role in 'The Hudsucker Proxy' too, which is a vastly under-rated and hugely entertaining film from back when the Coen brothers produced decent movies.

I'll bite. Fargo, The Big Lebowski, O Brother, Where Art Thou? and No Country for Old Men all superb Coen movies post-Proxy.

Other than that I agree.

I'm sorta with michael on this. But only because i was bored by Fargo, disliked A Simple Plan and recently watched No Country for Old Men, with baited breath, only for it to end. I keep meaning to watch O Brother, Where Art Thou? and do like The Big Lewbowski though.

Shame about Paul Newman, many good films, really liked The Colour of Money myself, gotta be one of my favourite films.

Forgot that No Country for Old Men was by them! It is a well produced film, although served up from a novel.

My point was more around the run of The Man Who Wasn't There, Intolerable Cruelty and The Ladykillers. Awful in anyone's book.

Mr Cool without a doubt, how dare anyone be so handsome.
R.I.P.

Me thinks you're thinking of Blood Simple... A Simple Plan was a decent Sam Raimi movie.

I really liked Butch Cassidy but Cool Hand Luke was great.

Having just had a quick gander at both movies i don't think it was either film. So i withdraw my comment about the Coen brothers, because it appears i know fuck all.

Briliant actor...also people dont realise that any profit from his sauce ranges went to under priveledged kids....110 million pounds since he started them also married for over 50 years......but what i admired most was that he didnt wallow in self pity and even close mates didnt know how ill he was.
RIP.

i'm not his mate and knew he had cancer

Yeah, I saw a picture of him a few months ago and he looked very ill.

Either way, very sad as it's another of the old greats gone.

OK Arriba.....he had cancer along time before you or i knew.....so if you have known for a year,he had it along time before that.....and he had it along time before alot of his frends realised..he only announced it after pictures showing him looking unwell..

i'm not going to get in an arguement over it leefer.he was a legend and that isn't debateable so i'll leave it at that

you're not goign to get into an argument? wow.

RIP, another dead legend. i didn't realise until earlier that newman's own donated all profits to charity - fair play.

your repetetive digs are a bit tiresome sonic.give it a rest eh?

Haha you tell the bitch

i think he must fancy me
