Top Five: Paul Newman Moments

By Dirty Harry on Top-Five
youtube.com

Not too long ago we did a list of our favorite Newman films, but today let's focus on those all important moments, for it's moments that define:

1. The Verdict (1982): Every circumstance builds to that moment when James Mason's Ed Concannon offers Newman's Frank Galvin a settlement check neatly divided by three — and Galvin refuses. It's the kind of moment that can reaffirm your faith in movies for years.

2. Cool Hand Luke (1967): Luke plays the banjo and sings "Plastic Jesus." …cuz I got the Virgin Mary assuring me that I won't go to Hell. A lost soul … searching, searching for one last thing to hang onto before he breaks. This is the only moment we're allowed to see the real Luke — the lonely little boy with the awful mother. The rest is all hustle — even when he drops to his knees and prays to God near the end.

3. The Sting (1973): The card game on the train with Robert Shaw. How he gets under the man's skin is a thing of beauty.

4. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969): The "fight." Ace has the clip.

5. Nobody's Fool (1994): When he turns down Melanie Griffith's offer to run away, choosing finally to be a father and grandfather. Tender. The next scene's even better, he demands his son call his wife and reconcile lest the young man end up him.

Listen close and from on high you'll hear Newman and Charlton Heston debating over who won last night's debate.
