The Best 35 films of Paul Newman. by jacobyjhn-18-315763 • Created 12 years ago • Modified 9 years ago. Charismatic, blue eyed, Paul Newman, was horribly miscast in his film debut in 1955, in the silly biblical epic, The Silver Chalice.
- Samuel Stone
- The Hustler (1961) Paul Newman was the epitome of Hollywood cool, yet he brought an earnest amount of depth to his various performances. No role benefited from this blend more than his smooth-talking character Fast Eddie Felson.
- The Sting (1973) With "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" being regarded as an instant classic, director George Roy Hill reunited with its stars for a different kind of period piece.
- The Verdict (1982) Paul Newman turned his talents to the legal genre for the 1982 film "The Verdict," an adaptation of the 1980 novel of the same name by Barry Reed.
- Cool Hand Luke (1967) As counter-culture sensibilities and defiance of authority figures began to sweep across the United States in the face of the escalating Vietnam War, Paul Newman starred in 1967's "Cool Hand Luke."
- Cool Hand Luke. Paul Newman, George Kennedy, J.D. Cannon. 719 votes. In this iconic classic, the audience is introduced to the nonconformist character Lucas "Luke" Jackson, who is sentenced to a chain gang after vandalizing parking meters.
- Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Paul Newman, Robert Redford, Katharine Ross. 650 votes. This legendary western pairs a charming outlaw duo consisting of Butch Cassidy, the brains, and the Sundance Kid, the gunslinger with a heart of gold.
- The Hustler. Paul Newman, Jackie Gleason, George C. Scott. 560 votes. The masterfully directed tale of ambition and obsession features a compelling storyline that follows "Fast" Eddie Felson, a small-time pool hustler with dreams of making it big.
- The Sting. Paul Newman, Robert Redford, Robert Shaw. 621 votes. A masterful ode to the golden age of cinema, this film is a delightful crime caper that pairs two charismatic con artists who seek revenge on a dangerous gangster.
- Fiona Underhill
- Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958) Two superstars at the peak of their physical beauty come together in this Tennessee Williams adaptation (the first of three for Newman) and hash it out over the course of one day and night, trapped in a stiflingly hot room and surrounded by the "mendacity" of the family from Hell.
- Hud (1963) Apart from, of course, Joanne Woodward, Newman's two best leading ladies were Piper Laurie in "The Hustler" and Patricia Neal in "Hud." Although Neal only gets around 20 minutes of screentime, her presence makes a lasting impact.
- The Sting (1973) The second of Newman and Redford's team-ups, this influence of this ingeniously plotted story of a long con can be felt in everything from "The Grifters" and "Ocean's Eleven" to "Lucky Number Slevin."
- The Long Hot Summer (1958) Newman appeared in two films set amid sultry Mississippi summers in 1958, but played two characters who couldn't be further from one another.
- THE HUSTLER. Directed by Robert Rossen. Screenplay by Sidney Carroll and Robert Rossen, based on the novel by Walter Trevis. Starring Jackie Gleason, Piper Laurie, George C. Scott, Murray Hamilton.
- THE VERDICT (1982) Directed by Sidney Lumet. Screenplay by David Mamet, based on the novel by Barry Reed. Starring Charlotte Rampling, Jack Warden, James Mason, Milo O’Shea, Lindsay Crouse.
- HUD (1963) Directed by Martin Ritt. Screenplay by Irving Ravetch and Harriet Frank Jr., based on the novel by Larry McMurtry. Starring Melvyn Douglas, Patricia Neal, Brandon deWilde.
- BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID (1969) Directed by George Roy Hill. Written by William Goldman. Starring Robert Redford, Katharine Ross, Strother Martin, Jeff Corey, Henry Jones.
