it's hard not to admire Paul Newman for putting his money to work in such productive ways, such as his Newman's Own line--high quality stuff and the proceeds go to good causes... very smart.

My father, who died almost two years ago now, looked an awful lot like Paul Newman. They shared the same steely blue eyes, the strong nose....I watch any Paul Newman film, and I see my father there.

So I can't pick five faves. They are all good to me. I cried when I heard the news.

There are so many Newman films I have yet to see, like Hud. I liked his detective film, Harper as well.

1. Cool Hand Luke (1967)
2. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969)
3. The Sting (1973)
4. The Hustler (1961)
5. Slapshot (1977)

Maybe slapshot is a Canadian sort of choice, but I thought he was great in the film and he and George Roy Hill worked well together.

I haven't seen enough Newman films to be able to put together my own rankings, but I do like his Italian dressing.
