Cool Hand Luke

E:
I got this DBD as a Christmas present. I love it. It's one of my favorite moobies.
It is, without a doubt, one of Paul Newman's finest performances. He plays a guy who was basically so bored and dissatisfied with the world he landed himself in a road-working prison. He challenges convention and authority. Sometimes to his advantage, sometimes to his detriment. I think there's a bit of Luke in all of us. Or at least we hope there is.
Newman was 42 when he did this picture. Look at him and let that little bit of reality soak into your head. I've never looked like that. Maybe by the time I'M 42 maybe I can. George Kennedy won an Oscar for his performance as Dragline and he beat out some other major performances to get it (1967 was a great year for the oscars). Strother Martin plays the Captain with such sleaze. The cast of supporting characters all put in fine work too - Dennis Hopper & Harry Dean Stanton among others. And the always incredible Conrad Hall did some really good work behind the camera here, the film looks amazing.
All in all, this is a great picture everyone should see.

Paul Newman is SO HOT in this moobie. Also, I had a hard time watching the scene where he's digging that hole. ugh. And the egg eating scene is great.
