1. Cool Hand Luke

Also probably my favorite movie in general

[Doc Sportello]

2. The Hustler

With Hud a close second. I feel like Newman and other hearthrobs like Brad Pitt don't get enough credit because of their looks but Newman was great in both of those. He finally got his due with the Verdict but he was great in many roles.

I’m going to have to think about that one for a while.

Loved his smile in that movie.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

[Boomerproud]

13. The Sting and the Verdict.

Butch is right up there too.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

44. 🤗

[rogerballard]

14. Sometimes a Great Notion

Butch Cassidy and Road to Perdition

[mobeau69]

39. Never saw the movie but read the book. Sometimes I live in the country, sometimes I live in the town, sometimes I have

a great notion to jump in the river and drown.

May favorite though by Ken Kesey was The Electric Cool Aide Acid Test.

[rogerballard]

42. I saw the movie...

at the theater, I was 12. Great cast.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

45. ☺️

[marble falls]

15. Cool Hand Luke, Hud, Slap Shot, Harper, Drowning Pool, Nobody's Fool. I could watch these six films on ...

... a loop. Toss in an occasional Third Man, Magnificent Ambersons, Citizen Cane, Casablanca - I'd be 100% satisfied. Maybe add Stagecoach. And Unforgiven, Holiday, Tombstone. Oh yeah, Chinatown and both Fantasias.

54. Who am I to criticize Martin Ritt but get that flower away from Newman's face will you?

[Niagara]

73. I checked the IMDb trivia section to see if that part was scripted or ad-libbed.

Unfortunately the trivia section didn't say anything about that scene, but the flower does give it a bit of a playful and teasing vibe.

[BOSSHOG]

17. Awesome that there are so many to choose from

I’ll go with the Verdict. Every other movie tied for second. Not a bad performance in any them.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

49. 🤗

[scipan]

18. Cool Hand Luke.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

50. 😃

[ProfessorGAC]

19. Absence Of Malice

Great story, he's fantastic, & we get the climactic scene with Wilford Brimley!
And, I don't care for Sally Field, but even she was ok in it.
Other obvious options were Butch Cassidy, The Verdict, The Hustler, & Color Of Money.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

Putting on the foil...

34. The Verdict

[Floyd R. Turbo]

41. I almost forgot this early film from 1958

Rally Round the Flag, Boys
starring Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward, and Joan Collins. A very funny movie.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

66. 🤗

[Mr.Bill]

48. Toss-up between The Hustler and Cool Hand Luke.

The Hustler was also Jackie Gleason's finest dramatic work.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

67. ☺️

[Glorfindel]

52. The Long, Hot Summer

A movie masterpiece! In addition to Paul Newman, it starred JoAnne Woodward, Orson Welles, Lee Remick, Angela Lansbury, and Anthony Franciosa.
