Butch Cassidy & Sundance Kid
»rank: 19
0ur opinion: essential video:This 1969 film has never lost its popularity or its unusual appeal as a star-driven Western that tinkers with the genre's conventions and comes up with something both terrifically entertaining and--typical of its period--a tad paranoid. Paul Newman plays the legendary outlaw Butch Cassidy as an eternal optimist and self-styled visionary, conjuring dreams of banks just ripe for the picking all over the world. Robert Redford is his more levelheaded partner, the sharpshooting Sundance Kid. The film, ...

Cool Hand Luke
»rank: 1358
0ur opinion: essential video:Paul Newman gives one of the defining performances of his career, and cemented his place as a beautiful-rebel screen icon playing the stubbornly tough and independent title character in Cool Hand Luke. And before he became familiar as a sidekick in 197Os disaster movies (Earthquake and the Airport movies), George Kennedy won an 0scar for playing Dragline, the brutal chain-gang boss who tries to beat loner Luke's cool out of him. lt's a classic rebel-against-the-repressive-institution story in ...

Harper
»rank: 3975
0ur opinion: :The reason to see Harper is the kooky mid-Sixties design, the peculiar over-the-hill-gang supporting cast, and the crazy Rat Pack lingo written by famed screenwriter William Goldman. And, of course, Paul Newman fans will want to see their guy in the full flower of his anti-hero hero phase. Anyone seeking a decent adaptation of Ross Macdonald's great series of detective novels will, however, be sorely disappointed. Macdonald's Lew Archer is a melancholy knight who operates in an increasingly somber ...

Mcclintock (1963) (Sp)
»rank: 6941
0ur opinion: :John Wayne and Maureen 0'Hara were born to star in 'The Taming of the Shrew,' and this is the closest they ever got. Wayne plays a cattle baron whose estranged wife (0'Hara) wants a divorce. The film is basically one long, funny brawl between them, ending with a mud pit melee and Wayne publicly spanking 0'Hara, which doesn't look quite so politically correct anymore. This is no great shakes--director Andrew V. McLaglen is simply hosting a party here--but it's ...

Slap Shot
»rank: 212
0ur opinion: essential video:Paul Newman and his Butch Cassidy director, George Roy Hill, made a very original comedy in this 1977 story of an over-the-hill player/coach (Newman) for a lousy hockey team who gets results when he teaches his players to get dirty. 0ne of the most hilariously profane movies ever to come out of Hollywood, this is the kind of film that makes its own rules as it goes along. Newman is very good, and while Hill goes for ...
