Editorial Review: Product Description: Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 09/09/2008 Run time: 127 minutes Rating: Pg Amazon.com essential video: Paul Newman gives one of the defining performances of his career, and cemented his place as a beautiful-rebel screen icon playing the stubbornly tough and independent title character in Cool Hand Luke. And before he became familiar as a sidekick in 1970s disaster movies (Earthquake and the Airport movies), George Kennedy won an Oscar for playing Dragline, the brutal chain-gang boss who tries to beat loner Luke's cool out of him. It's a classic rebel-against-the-repressive-institution story in the line of One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest or The Shawshank Redemption. Certain moments have become classics--particularly the hardboiled egg-eating contest, and the immortal line (drooled by Strother Martin, as a sadistic redneck prison officer), "What we have here is a failure to communicate." And don't forget, Luke is also the source of the oft-quoted driving ditty, "I don't care if it rains or freezes, long as I have my plastic Jesus, right here on the dashboard of my car..." He is cool, all right. --Jim Emerson Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Well done!This is a blu-ray remake of the original movie and it's well done. Great movie too!! Rating: - Classic Tale of NerDoWell Becoming HeroThis movie was so before its time. We ordered it days before Newman's death was reported, and when we got the movie in the mail, he had just passed away. So, we watched it with reverance for Newman's full body of work over the years. As far as prison movies go, this would have to be at the top of the list. As far as Newman goes, this is HIS movie. He dominates the film from start to finish -- with strong supporting roles from all the actors, who have gone on to great work themselves. The movie is ...

Also I was on my 3 day leave from the Air Force and when I saw that famous scene when warden Strother Martin beat Luke (Newman) after he says, "Boss, why are you so nice to me?" to which Martin utters the famous lines, "What we have here is a failure--to communicate", it rang in my ears as an ironic twist to my days in Basic training. The late Paul Newman, who died ... Read More Rating: - The Spirit of the Anti-HeroPaul Newman died yesterday, and I watched 'Cool Hand Luke' in his memory. Paul liked to think he was an ordinary guy. He played ordinary guys in his films, and he hung around ordinary people. The difference is that Paul Newman knew his own mind and no one could push him. That is the kind of character that Paul Newman best portrayed. Luke Jackson was a war hero, who may have suffered from PTSD. Certainly Luke did not want to face his demons, he did not like people, he did not want to be anyone's ... Read More Rating: - Newman's quintessential roleWell, one of many ... My favorite actor, ever...and one of my favorite films of all time. My heartfelt condolences to Paul Newman's family, at his passing 9-26-08... Browse for similar items by category:
