Paul Newman (1925-2008)


I was saddened this morning to learn that Paul Newman died yesterday. He was 83.
His 1977 hockey comedy, "Slapshot," while not usually mentioned among his greatest films, is one of my favorites, if only just for his clothes.
Here's a list of some other must-see Paul Newman films, which I recommend enjoying with some pasta and his Sockarooni sauce, our family's sauce of choice. And by the way, he was a great liberal.
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958)
Torn Curtain (1966)
Cool Hand Luke (1967)
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969)
The Towering Inferno (1974)
Slapshot (1977)
The Verdict (1982)
The Color of Money (1986)
Nobody's Fool (1994)
Road to Perdition (2002)
