Cool Hand Luke [Deluxe Edition] [DVD] [1967]

Classic Newman movie. A must see for everyone. The very best from Mr UBER COOL.

Nothing to dislike

To call `Cool Hand Luke' a classic is a vast understatement. I saw this a few days ago on TV and was hooked within the first fifteen minutes and as I was unable to finish watching it I bought it straight away and I know already that this will be one film I will watch again and again. This has an amazing performance from Paul Newman as Luke, a loner who refuses to bow to the might of authority, whether it be in society or in the prison he is sent to. He manages to inspire his fellow inmates with his humour and quiet dignity in the face of the warders cruelty and you can't help but connect with his character. This has many memorable scenes and the egg eating scene is wonderfully funny and yet others scenes are especially poignant and emotional. The direction is pretty good, if a little dated and stylised, but this only adds to the character and classic nature of the film on offer. The supporting cast are very good in this film and the entire ensemble elevate this film from being merely good to being great. This also has an excellent 'making of' documentary included on the extras. Having heard a lot about this film over the years and never having seen it I am delighted I finally have and I can honestly see what all the fuss is about. This has style, a great story, many famous lines and scenes and a wonderful anti establishment feel that makes you feel mildly rebellious just by watching it. Highly recommended indeed.Feel free to check out my blog which can be found on my profile page.

The story starts with breaking some seemingly simple rules about chopping the heads off parking meters. Why?It doesn't matter why- it captures the why not and has you smiling, crying, and cheering the underdog. It's a human story about not fitting in, about getting up when the big guy knocks you down, about being lost, about needing a higher purpose- even if thats just eating boiled eggs to win a bet. Great acting from the whole cast, Newman is sensational but it's George Kennedy who won an Oscar who is just perfect. For anyone wanting a Sunday film to remind them it's ok to laugh even when it's tough.

Still a great film after all these years.
