I knew I was going to have a hard time in this world when I realized that Luke was my complete hero when I was 12. One of the greatest performances in one greatest movies of all time. And what a cast.
George Kennedy was old school and he was able to transfer in the new school he wouldn't you wouldn't only Cool Hand Luke everything he did was good all the old good actors has long been gone now we got a line of young old actors the damn sure ain't old school like the old guys
My Mom and I watched this film together several times over the decades. We both loved it and from time to time, I would randomly throw her that accent, that line- "Dems just pigeon eggs, Luke!" She'd grin like a baby, her precious smile...🎵"assuring me that I won't go to hell"🎵 Rest in peace, Mama⚘
+Marco Arguilez filmferret.wordpress.com/2016/05/18/cool-hand-luke/ This post has my views on cool hand luke... and I share my views on many other movies so look it up... I am looking forward to some feedback... Marco I think you should really tell me what you think about this
+Vikram Mervyn Paul Newman as great an versatile actor that he was, I feel he wasn't given the accolades he deserved in his early career. Not that he didn't get the some great scripts, but that he was up against fellow actors like Brando, Peck, and Douglas who were great in their own right, but seemed to grab the lions share of the limelight. Paul Newman will always be my favorite.
+Marco Arguilez Absolutely, I mean I think Paul Newman is as capable of doing a role like The Godfather as Marlon Brando was. Marco, Paul Newman's characters are SUPER Awesome!
Brando in the 50s was one of a kind and an innovator of a highly emotional, highly passionate style others copied. Paul, for the most part, early on, played a less outwardly emotional character but, instead, was introspective and worldy with a blunt manner of expressing his thoughts, e.g., Hud, Harper, and Hombre. Over time, he got more expressive emotionally and had greater range. I love both actors' work but, for me, no one tops Bogie for all-around versatility and range.
Powerfull scene. One of my favorites. I watched with my kids age 35 and 36 and they were blown away. The Sting,One Flew Over the Cuckoo's those were the days.
My wife's brother managed a tree trimming crew. When they'd trim Paul Newman's trees, he'd come out and drink beer with them after they had finished. He definitely wasn't one of the plastic people in Hollyweird. It's a sign of great character that he was able to resist allowing that much fame (well earned!) from going to his head.
Drag Line. What a name😎 the whole cast, is a thing of the past. God that sucks. At least the stars aligned and produced the ensemble of characters and production who made this one in a million piece of film that it is Cool Hand Luke. Thanks to all the people that left us this GEM.
Paul Newman loved playing this role. He said, with a character like that, an actor can perform miracles. After he did this scene with the Plastic Jesus, he ran to the director and said, "I can do it better." Rosenberg, the director said, "No one could have done that any better." He was right.
Pioneer JVS showed this beautiful, WONDERFUL Classic in 1975 in an assembly for the students...never understood why...until I grew up...Thank you PJVS!!!!!
would love to see this given a special cinema release.. original reels and sound and a whole full house of genuine adoring movie fans.. goddamn thatd be a nights worth of fine worthwhile memory making
Elvis talked on the phone with Red West about "Cool Hand Luke" (if you can find that, you´re lucky!), so it made an impression on him - I like that, it completes my reality...lol
I’m 30 now I watched this movie when I was a kid... don’t know how I came across it... it just must of been on tv... but for some reason it stuck with me... when I grew up I always remembered this film... and I now and then came back and watched clips of it... life made sense to me
@@iowanation1034 Thank you. It's been almost a year. Nothing has changed. Maybe I'm weak or feeling sorry for myself. But nothing has any color any more. The world is a desert without la mamma. I'm trying. She told me to promise I'd rebuild my life. Trying.
Recently UA-cam has been recommending various Cool Hand Luke clips. Thanks for that. Saw this when it was released. one of my favorites. Strother martin appeared again with Paul Newman in the film Slapshot.
It's a good story but Cloris Leachman alleged he made a drunken pass at her during the ' Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid' shoot. I love this movie and Paul Newman as a man and actor but believe her.
I remember watching this as a kid. One of my favourite films. The 60s and 70s made some brilliant films. You don’t see these type of films made anymore. It’s more about Marvel, Batman, Spider-Man etc etc. 👍
There are two types of people in this world: show them this film and you will know what type you're dealing with. As a single guy, if I play this for a woman and she's distracted and ambivalent, she's not for me. But if she's totally transfixed through the whole film and afterwards, goes "wow..." with a tear in her eye, well... she just might be a keeper. It's a good test. Named my boy after this film and the man responsible for 1/4 of the New Testament (Dr. Luke). All this character truly needed was a father figure in his life and God only knows what he would have become. That's the real hidden message of the film. Almost every prison to this day and since the beginning of time is full of men who were raised without fathers. Almost any man that walks through this life frustrated with the malady of angst in his heart that he can't describe, again, was raised without a father or an abusive one.
Actually ,as we recall , I put my darling Kara to the " Luke Test" early in our Endless Romance ! She was mesmerized and teary , and I said , " See ? ". . .
And sometimes you're raised by a man so great, his worth seems to magnify your faults. Eventually you get tired of falling short and the only people you can find that look up to you are the ones who've fallen further yourself.
It's here on UA-cam. Don't remember the title of the video. This scene is almost to much to bear. The next scene it when they lock him up in "the box", a cruel oblong hut, very small, and the prisoner must either stand up or sit on concrete for the night. No ventilation or light or any sort. Hot as hell. Florida nights can be brutal in the summertime. It's to keep the prisoner from trying to escape to go to his mom's funeral for final respects. What a cruel way of treating a grieving son.
And THAT'S exactly where his Personal rebellion started: had the Warden just left him alone, there WOULDN'T have BEEN a problem In the first place! Luke, IMO, had no intention of Rabbiting...he was already at peace With her passing. However, the Authority figures FORCED him to Escape once he was unjustly Locked in that box! He did Nothing to deserve it, so he figures 'If that's the way it's gonna be, then I'll EARN my time in that lil box!!"
Luke...................step out......................now, when a man's mother dies he gets rabbit in his blood...................I'm doing this for your own good Luke. Captain, I don't know why you're so damm good to me.
Could someone please post the entire scene between Luke and his mother in the back of the pickup truck? I believe it is one of the best scenes in movie history.
I have to joined the crowd on this one it’s my favorite movie of all time Especially bc I was watching it when I found out I was pregnant with my son I always told my son I should have named him Luke😂
One of the all time greats... lonely bum, drifter, without direction purposely gets arrested and his spirit still soars, wild free spirit,,,,in chains. Love the irony, love the theme.... plastic Jesus on abalone shells
The thunderstorm scene, testing God to strike him shows that Luke had belief in God and then again when he's singing plastic Jesus in tribute to his deceased mother. Then once again for the last time as he prayed in the church before his murder. This clearly shows Luke was not only trying to escape the imprisonment of himself but also his his battered and tormented soul. No doubt the scars of his upbringing, failed marriage and the war had contributed to this and his delinquency towards society. We all have a sentence and an imprisonment in our lives. Whatever the case, there IS Salvation available to us. Make that peace with God a daily priority. You have one life on this earth today and an eternal life in heaven waiting. The thunderstorm scene, err hurricane scene testing God is again portraid in Forrest Gump when Lieutenant Dan rides Jenny's mast tempting God to strike him while Forrest is battling to steer Jenny and ride out the hurricane. Later we see Lieutenant Dan has made his peace with God and thank Forrest for saving his life. Well actually Forrest carried Lieutenant Dan to safety, God saved his life.
Every time i cough and sneeze it When i eat my plastic cheezits Sitting in my hot & stuffy car When i puke its so unpleasant Plastic dots glowing iridescent I get em when I'm hungry at the bar
orrr..... or. was it the fact that they put him in the box just because his mom died? who can say. only thing we know for sure is some birds weren't meant to be caged
Please please please please Hollywood. Don't remake this.
No bombs, gunfights, martial arts, superheroes, etc and yet one of the greatest movies of all time.
Funny that. Ya know?
……..just 50 eggs and a little pepper.
No not nobody will ever remake this film
These guys are priceless in this classic
Slavery never stopped it just changed form
No blacks in that jail the Kkk must b good thair then ha
I knew I was going to have a hard time in this world when I realized that Luke was my complete hero when I was 12. One of the greatest performances in one greatest movies of all time. And what a cast.
Every actor in this movie deserved an award. Absolutely incredible !!
I love how all the other inmates gave Luke the space he needed even if it was for a short time. Classic movie and my favorite of all times.
I love how he speeds up the song with conviction that he'll be alright even though at the moment, he is not.
I love how you admire that idea..about the 'inmates.'
@@andrewbecker9062 Leftist drivel, I'd imagine.
@@andrewbecker9062 Wasn't me, I was referring to Dan K.
Great movie great actors and great scene here. All time favorite movie. RIP Momma and Dad.
Got an Oscar for "Color of Money" but not this one! Luke would surely have smiled at the irony.
È vero ,come si fa a vincere un oscar per il colore dei soldi e a non vincerlo per Nick nano fredda, se uno ci pensa è una barzelletta
Amen!
I agree with you, however, can you point out the irony? I'm not trying to be a smartass, I just don't understand the irony comment.
Sometimes nothin’ can be a pretty cool hand.
You ain't shittin, How'd Paul not when the Oscar? By far his best movie
Goodbye George Kennedy. You were great in this film.
And Paul Newman
George Kennedy was old school and he was able to transfer in the new school he wouldn't you wouldn't only Cool Hand Luke everything he did was good all the old good actors has long been gone now we got a line of young old actors the damn sure ain't old school like the old guys
Love him in general, but i don't know if anything can top _charade_ .
A life-changing film. Very rare, these days.

Makes me want to cry everytime I see this. Rip Paul Newman what a man
This was Newman,s seminal movie and he should have won the Oscar for it no doubt.
What's great about this is...he's really singing and playing. It's not perfect, but it IS perfect because it's so natural. Great movie.
"He grin like a baby, but he bite like a gator!
This is why I named my son LUKE. BEST MOVIE EVER MADE.
Me too!
Same!
Bawlin' my eyes out, boss
Such a great scene. No matter how manny times I watch it, it still brings me tears.
Because, that scene has now become You. Me. America.
Same here
some are classics the day they were made, this is one
Paul Newman was not only a great actor. he was a great person. he had tons of charities he started and belonged to.
he makes the best frozen Pizza too

Baby faced luke had more courage, character and ball's than all of them.
This has to be the most perfect scene I've ever seen in 23 years of loving cinema.
They sure dont make movies like this anymore. mid 40s through mid 70s were the best for cinema IMO. I miss going to the drive in.
Paul Newman loved playing this role. He said, with a character like that, an actor can perform miracles.
After he did this scene with the Plastic Jesus, he ran to the director and said, "I can do it better." Rosenberg, the director said, "No one could have done that any better." He was right.
How could it possibly be better!? Thank you for the fun fact
Damn good movie. My father and I used to watch this one together.
All I remember is Paul Newman eating too many eggs on a bet in jail...lol
One of the best movies.
+Vlad Tepes me and my father too. He passed, and i havent seen it since.
Same for me...
Same here. Great father-son movie for some reason.
Gen x. We grew up on this movie!!! God bless luke and Paul neuman.
Greatness right here, in a timeless contemporary tale. The misfit brings the imagined life everyone wants, but too afraid to live it.

Never gets old.

Sucks, when Luke was put in the box, while grieving the loss of his mother. Sad,
One of the best movies ever and this scene is the best.. and I guess 2nd. would be when he gets to see his mama Arleta.. xx

i like how he pitches a coin to decide whether or not to lend money out.
Yes, it's just a movie. But he took the death of his mother a whole lot better than I did. Mine passed two weeks ago. Life is empty and cold.
I won’t promise that things will be fine any time soon. But they will certainly get easier man. Take care and I wish you the best.

One of my favorite movies of all time...I want to play the song he sang when his mom died, when my mom passes on, I think she would love that.

What a brilliant movie great actors one of the best
God me and my daddy watch this movie together all the time
Paul Newman on fidelity and marriage: "why settle for hamburger, when I have steak at home"
Sometimes, all you want is a hamburger. :)
Joanne Woodward wasn't very happy about being likened to a piece of meat.
It's a good story but Cloris Leachman alleged he made a drunken pass at her during the ' Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid' shoot. I love this movie and Paul Newman as a man and actor but believe her.
Me? I'll have both.

In time people will forget movies of today but will remember movies of this quality. I guess Luke wins no matter of an anti hero he wanted to be.
That Ole Luke Smile, 😢
Mom absolutely loved him. When I would ask her what she liked most, she would always say: those blue eyes.
I SWEAR I WAS CUTTIN ONOINS. greatest movie ever.
RIP Dean Stanton.

What a Movie even though I wasnt born when it was made.
It gets MY VOTE as the greatest movie EVER made.!!
He should have received the Oscar. It doesn't get any better than this.

The thunderstorm scene, testing God to strike him shows that Luke had belief in God and then again when he's singing plastic Jesus in tribute to his deceased mother. Then once again for the last time as he prayed in the church before his murder.
This clearly shows Luke was not only trying to escape the imprisonment of himself but also his his battered and tormented soul. No doubt the scars of his upbringing, failed marriage and the war had contributed to this and his delinquency towards society.

Was the big man upstairs letting Luke know he was there by taking his mother to the big unknown? Luke was asking for it in the rain.
