COOL HAND LUKE

COOL HAND LUKE tells the story of a poor drifter who can’t find his place in life. Paul Newman portrays the main character with sincerity and great emotion. Luke’s struggle is a universal theme we can all connect with. Some of the many highlights of this film include:
Luke’s poignant visit from his mother, the lighthearted egg-eating contest, the roadtarring scene, and Luke’s desperate plea to God in the chapel. Fine performances from all the supporting actors - George Kennedy (Oscar winner), Wayne Rogers, Lou Antonio, Strother Martin, others - make this a movie classic. To me, it’s the most underrated movie ever made !

Well I have to agree with the 2 listed below me the Sting and Titanic are 1 and 1A for me but to add to that The Best Years of Our Lives is 1B.

All 3 great movies for different reasons. I managed a theatre that had Titanic from December from April and I never tired of it

How could anyone come up with one favorite movie. I more than the above to go a top of the heap list. I love movies for many reasons. The Pianist is a emotionally powerful work with one of the great acting performances of all time.

American Beauty is funny, hypnotic, lyrical, beautifully photagraphed, great writing, acting………. Great Story telling. Hip.

Godfather I & II all of the above and insightful.

Bulworth: I movie I never tire of watching. It is hillarious……..

Thunder Road….. Robert Mitchum

The Hustler……. Again great cinematography, acting.
Solyaris: But if I had to pick my greatest movie it would probably be Solyaris. A beautiful film that is the most affective film I’ve seen that paints a picture of transcendence and creation.

Just one comment about a movie lot’s of people love and I send to the bottom of my list. Namely 12 Angry Men. Thought this movie was God awful. It does not put you in the room in the sense that you could make a decision on the fate of the person being judged. The evidence used to walk you to this jury’s conclusion was non-existent.
