The good, right and honorable Kris Tapley of In Contention has put up a list of his Top 10 Paul Newman performances. It’s a good read and a worthy way to remember a dude with chops. Check it out.

dont know if i remember wtching Paul Newman movies, but i know i never followed him the way i followed Clint Eastwood,
so this article will help me to understand him and his legendary actor !
That’s a pretty crappy list…. NO HUSTLER?
That has flat out Newman’s best performance.
Man, I miss this guy already…
My favs are:
1. Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid: This film never gets old and I love the chemistry between Newman & Redford. This film made me a fan of his.
2. Color of Money: Absolute classic that really showed an inside knowledge of the game. This made me start playing for $ instead of just for fun.
3. Cool Hand Luke: Newman is such a man’s man and the essence of cool. ’nuff said.
4. Any old racing footage of Paul: Paul was not only a great actor and philanthropist, but one hell of an accomplished race car driver, even into his 60’s and 70’s!! He’s garnered a shelf-full of victory trophies (including the 24 Hrs of LeMans) and his racing team Newman-Haas is one of the most respected in the biz.
