Another classic scene from a movie before most of you guys were born, this time featuring the late, great Paul Newman...

I can't watch these videos from work

but if it’s the egg-eating scene from CHL, I’m glad I can’t… makes me sick everytime.

great movie

It's hard to believe Newman's no longer with us

except in salad dressing form.

That's why they call them business sox

I still have Hud

At the top of my all time favorite movie list (granted it’s a short list). Newman and Patricia Neal performed defining roles in that one.

Really?

Man, that movie is dark and depressing as hell.

I don’t dispute that the acting is superb, but van damn, what a debbie downer of a flick.

Color of Money

Was my first exposure to him. Brilliant performance. I was a teenager at the time, so that has always stuck with me.

A movie that was made 19 years before I was born.

Yet it’s one of those Saturday afternoon-ruining movies. You’re flipping through the channels, planning on watching 20 minutes of TV before you get to work on your big list of things to do.

You flip past AMC, and there’s Cool Hand Luke (or, in another personal example, The Running Man, because damn it, I love that movie). And it’s then that you realize that you’re not going to get any of those things on your list done, because you are inherently obligated to watch the entire movie.

Oh yeah.

And it’s funny because you get mad at the station for running it, because they’re making you watch it.

Bad 80s/90s hip hop is the usual fare for Friday videos…

I've always liked it

But I didn’t really “get it” until the second or third time I saw it either. I haven’t seen it in way too long. Might have to rent it now.

Leaving a comment here, boss

I got the Blu-Ray; very good transfer for those thinking of getting it.

Embarassing

But I only saw this movie from beginning to end a few months before he died.

Great movies of his that some might have not seen are The Verdict and Nobody’s Fool.

Remember Red, hope is a good thing. Maybe the best of things. And no good thing ever dies.

Nobody's Fool...

was playing at the AMC Sundance when I worked there as a teenager. I never saw it though. I’ve only seen Color of Money.

Sidney Lumet is a master.

‘The Verdict’, ‘Network’, ‘12 Angry Men’, and my personal fave, ‘Dog Day Afternoon’.

Have you seen "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead?"

Over looked gem, in my opinion.

For some reason, it really flew under the radar, but I loved it. P.S. Hoffman going against type with fantastic abandon.

Haven't yet

Thanks for the reminder- I’m terrible about recent movies.

Also, I was remiss in omitting ‘The Hill’ among Lumet gems.
