YEAH, WELL — SOMETIMES NOTHIN’ CAN BE A REAL COOL HAND

Paul Newman as Cool Hand Luke
*
Cool Hand Luke, brother. Enough quotable anti-establishment mantras to ink an entire tattoo sleeve. Enough chambray & denim workwear to choke the toughest clothes horse. It’s Sunday night, men. You have a few hours still left to rebel before you punch your ticket and report to the man on Monday morning.
Can’t find your spine? What? you left it at Starbucks, bro? Pick up your shovel and let Lucas Jackson show you how to find it at the bottom of Boss Keans’ ditch. Sometimes a man enters a fight with nothin’ but his will, and where he came from — and that can be a real cool hand. Watch and learn.
Any man who passes up– spends a night in the box.

One of my all-time favs, classic!
That Paul Newman was one cool, good-lookin’ motherfucker. If I can lead half the life he did, I’ll be a happy and fulfilled man.
An excellent actor and an excellent movie. It’s hard to say who was cooler…Newman or McQueen. McQueen may have taken the cake on pure coolness, but it seems Newman had more developed acting chops. Then again, he had an additional number of years to work on his craft.
My favorite movie. And in JK’s argument, I might be in the minority, but for me it’s all Paul, all day.
That carwashing scene changed my life forever. That, Catherine Bach and the girls of Hee Haw made me what I am today: a guy who knows how to find the rare talent to photograph a girl and a car the right way…
Some old movies feel old in a bad way.
But this one still feels alive and magnetic. It’s been a long time since I’ve watched it though, and never from a style perspective. Hmm…
I don’t care if it rains or freezes…long as I got my plastic jesus…riding on the dashboard of my car
One of the best! I group this one with The Last Picture Show and Hud. All my friends, brother and I loved these. Shit, one of my friends named his son Hud.
