Recommend me some Paul Newman films to watch
I watched Somebody Up There Likes Me on Turner Classic Movies last night and was quite transfixed by Newman's performance. Having perused his IMDB listing of films, I have to admit that I haven't seen a number of his films, which are his best?
(embarrisingly these are the only films I have seen of his)
- Road to Perdition
- Message in a Bottle
- The Color of Money
- The Towering Inferno

Essential viewing:
The Hustler
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Cool Hand Luke
The Sting
Slap Shot
Also good:
WUSA
Fort Apache: The Bronx
Hombre
The Mackintosh Man
The Hudsucker Proxy
Also check out one of his best performances with Nobody's Fool (1994).

He is, without a doubt, one of the ten greatest american actors to ever grace the screen. Some others not mentioned that are among my favorites:
Hud
Harper
Sometimes a Great Notion (A singular favorite of mine...sadly not on DVD )
Blaze
The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean
Sweet Bird of Youth
As others mentioned, the following are absolutely essential:
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
Long, Hot, Summer
The Sting
The Verdict
Slap Shot
Cool Hand Luke
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
and of course: THE HUSTLER!!

And just for fun it's not bad watching Absence Of Malice and Fat Man And Little Boy, just to see Newman's performances.

No votes for Exodus? I thought that this was a really good movie and Paul Newman was great in it. Obviously I know it's not one of his best movies, but the movie itself is very moving and the music is one of the best soundtracks of all time, at least I think so.
