👮‍♂️ In a career of memorable performances, Paul Newman delivered one of his most indelible in the male bonding chain gang drama directed by Stuart Rosenberg in 1967. George Kennedy also left a lasting impression as the main buddy. While…

I had seen this film televised as a child, and it was awkward to watch. Its a lot easier now. The cast is entirely male, and the setting dirty and mean. Very well written and performed, excellent music, and okay imagery. It all revolves…

✝️ Luke died for your sins. But first He ate fifty (Easter) eggs, and sang the Plastic Jesus song (see quotes). Easter is coming up, you might want to watch this again.

Good movie saw it when it first came out and was interested in seeing it again. A very good movie however I can understand why it never go any awards.

"What we've got here is a failure... to communicate" one of the greatest lines in motion picture history. Such a wild ride of a movie.

A new criminal in a Florida state prison facing a 4-year sentence, the movie's premise is based on the gallantry of Luke when being incarcerated by the malfeasance of the guards and warden. Released in 1967, this movie still holds up today…

Paul Newman classic! A decorated war veteran turns to petty crime/mischief and ends up on the chain gang in some Southern prison. Paul Newman is excellent in this film and there are several memorable scenes - especially the egg eating…

One of the films this country should be proud about. Excellent and timeless! Be sure to also indulge in the special features on the disc - the commentary by historian/Newman biographer Eric Lax and a documentary, "A Natural-Born…

Do you know (and, do you care?) that this highly-praised "Rebel-Without-A-Cause" prison picture is actually a little Bible story in disguise? - It's true! ~~~ With deliberate intent, director Stuart Rosenberg saw to it that throughout the…

One of the Top 10 Movies Ever Made is how I vote "Cool Hand Luke". Paul Newman is "Cool" as they come. This is a Movie Classic. See it to believe it!

A pretty interesting film, from the prisoners' perspective quite fair, and it has one of the more interesting scenes in any film when it shows the inmates on a chain gang watching a woman washing her car.

"What we have here is... failure to communicate." Who can forget that classic line from Strother Martin in one of my all time favorite films. Paul Newman shines in a fascinating story of a war hero turned small town loser who is busted…

Could watch over and over, my only complaint is the audio track on Blu-ray in single channel.

This is simply a must see again. Virtually every performance is exquisite. Everything a movie-goer wants is captured here.

A great, entertaining movie. I have seen this movie several times and always enjoy it. Great performance by Newman. A classic. Obviously it does feel dated, but it is more than worth watching.
