Cool Hand Luke (DVD 1998)

Paul Newman is a class act as both actor & man and in Cool Hand Luke he plays a loveable rebel with humour, steel and dignity. Set in a tough prison this film follows Luke in his battle not to be buckled or shaped by a brutal and unflinching penal system whilst winning the hearts and minds of his fellow inmates. The red blooded amongst us should also watch out for the now legendary Car Wash cameo from Joy Harmon providing and Oasis of femininity in this emotional rollercoaster.

I bought this film as a present for my husband as he has been wanting it for a while. He says this film is a classic and Paul Newman is superb in it.It has everything you want from a film its funny and sometimes sad an all round great film.

I love this movie.
It has it all! Action, drama, comedy......
Paul Newman plays Cool Hand Luke and in my opinion it is one of his best roles and performances.
never get tired of this movie.

Just has to be one of my favourite films of all times, fifty litle pigeon eggs!
All the actors seem to gel simply superb!

Excellent! A cool film!Seen it a long time ago, and fancied watching it again!You can't beat Paul Newman!

Actually the reason for buying this film is quite stupid! My boyfriend loves Guns N Roses and there is a line from Cool Hand Luke in one of their songs! That was it. Having said that I am glad we did buy this film. The story is about a man who does not like to conform to all societys rules and regulations and rebells against the system. He ends up in prison where he becomes a well liked respected in mate. It is strange to see how prison life was like back then compared to todays incarcerated!This film is considered a classic and it is a good watch however is sometimes a little boring as it is a simple story with no frills. Compared to todays action packed violent prison films. Give it a miss if you do not have an interest in how things used to be or can not appreciate an older film.

The movie is old but like they say the old ones are the best and its true with this classic!! I first saw it on telly then had to have it on video then had to have it on dvd! Paul Newman is excellent and it is a movie mystery on how he didn`t get an oscar for it!!And it was further imortalized with a line from the film being used in Guns`n`roses song Civil War
