Cool Hand Luke (1967)

The prison guards are sadists, and Cool Hand Luke is their masochist. Paul Newman’s anti-hero endures severe punishment — the film’s Christ-like imagery is well-documented — and in one classic scene, eats 50 eggs: one for every prisoner.

Nobody’s Fool (1994)

Paul Newman makes it look easy. He plays a man who drinks too much, works too little and avoids responsibility, and he does it with such nuance that any nuance is unnoticeable. Jessica Tandy, Bruce Willis and Melanie Griffith offer fine supporting turns.
