Movie What's the last movie you saw? (5)

[Ocha905]

You're in for a treat if you're keen to continue with Paul Newman's films.

Definitely! Any suggestions?

 

[HeathySure]

My 2 fave Newman films are Slap Shot which might be the greatest sports film ever, and The Hustler which is also a sporty film but so good

Spot on with Slap Shot,but it's all about the Hanson Brothers,the original on ice psychopaths.

The Color of Money is great as well. The Sting and The Towering Inferno are pretty legendary for him but Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is probably his most famous.

Popped up in Road Perdition not too long ago as well (which is a great film)

Quite a few good Hockey movies actually

Goon (which I love)
Goon 2 (not as good)
Miracle
The Tooth Fairy
Mystery, Alaska

And of course the Mighty Duck trilogy

If you count the Van Damme classic Sudden Death as a Hockey Movie it can be added to the list.

Nice one forgot all about it, Theres also The Love Guru

Absolutely. Forewarning - I'm a huge Newman fan but also a big fan of pre-1970's cinema, so not all will be to everyone's tastes. Rough ranking for me, in terms of the film quality:

Hud
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Road to Perdition
The Hustler
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
Nobody's Fool
Slap Shot
Hombre
The Towering Inferno
The Verdict
The Color of Money

Thanks so much I'll start with Hud

Although I haven't seen enough classic cinema I've enjoyed most I've seen like Casablanca, 12 Angry Men, Modern Times, Rear Window, On the Waterfront... basically the classic on IMDB's top 250 list.

Believe you me, I do.

Especially the part where he stops fighting terrorists to sub in for the goalie.

Take that back

 

[Shell]

I still haven't seen Die Hard

 

[jackn]

Replying to it gives that thought more credit than it deserves. The only area it comes out on top is boobs.

IIRC weren't you saying that Tommy Lee Jones is totally implausible as a bad guy not that long ago and that he couldn't cut it as a lead villain?

 

[ZEV]

My issue with Ford is despite his swagger and acting ability... he's never looked convinving in the action. When he fights it's like, every punch is taking his breath away. Tommy Lee Jones is the same and somehow he had a run of action flicks too in the 90s, one with Ford which was like two out of practice dads in pre-season, and another with Steven ******* Segal! That's nearly as bad as when the casting agent for Cliffhanger was like 'yep, the dad from Third Rock from the Sun will be a good match up for Rocky Rambo!'

Yep, yes you did.....

No.

He can't be convincing as an action actor during the action.

His everything else is great. He only has to fight once in the movie and it's a ridiculous scene anyway that looks like a slap fight with Segal right at the end, so there's no killing of 'suspension of disbelief'. Most of the movie he just sits around or walks around being very convincing as an unstable domestic terrorist.

Also Steven Segal's different fighting style to most Hollywood stuff make it plausible, it's a fairly quick scene and he gets ****ed up.
