Paul Newman. I don't even want to put up a link. One of the truly great men.

Amen to that. A great actor and by all accounts an even better human being.

His five greatest movies, in no particular order: The Verdict, Cool Hand Luke, Slap Shot, The Sting, Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid.

And I've always been fond of The Hudsucker Proxy and thought he was great in it.

I'd have to add The Hustler to that list. . .

I know that it wasn't his favorite work (and I'm not saying it's the best either) but The Towering Inferno was always a guilty pleasure of mine.

And I somehow managed to forget the incrediby great Hud!

A great race car driver that happened to be a pretty good actor. Also, married to the same woman for over 40 years. A man who meant what he said.

In defense of "The Towering Inferno" and "When Time Ran Out", everyone did at least one of those terrible disaster movies in `70's. Can't explain "Quintet" though.

Don't forget the other 'H' movies - "Harper" and "Hombre"

And, best of all, Newman's Own. Changed the face of salad dressing forever!
