    So many but the one that will always stick out is the egg eating contest in Cool Hand Luke. R.I.P.

    The best performance of his career was certainly "The Verdict" but somehow the scenes in "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" linger on as iconic of Newman the Screen Legend.

    The Sting.

    I like the montage in Cool Hand Luke when they're all remembering him after he's dead and the bit in Cat On a Hot Tin Roof where he tries to run on the track when he's drunk and on a crutch.

    His salad dressing ads.

    It was only a matter of time before some 'wag' brought that up.

    In addition to the movies mentioned above I have a few:

    1. The scene in The Hustler after his character has his thumbs broken, and he's telling his co-star, played by Piper Laurie, what a loser he is.

    2. Several scenes in Slapshot, especially dealing with the Hanson brothers.

    3. His confrontation with Stacy Keach in "Judge Roy Bean."

    4. With Tim Robbins in "Hudsucker Proxy."

    Judge Roy Bean: "I know the law. And have spent my entire life in its flagrant disregard."

    His pasta sauce ads

    Judge Roy Bean: "But I called you whores, and for that I apologize."

  • Sarge at 11:52 PM JST - 29th September

    Judge Roy Bean: "The last time that bear ate a lawyer, he had the runs for thirty-three days."

    Having a young son I will say as the voice of Doc Hudson in "Cars". Odd choice I know but it was just such a great nod to Newman's racing past. RIP, I can't believe he's gone, a truly remarkable talent.

    His performance in "Nobody's Fool" stands up against anything he's ever done. Brilliant...

    He's excellent in The Hudsucker Proxy.
