So difficult to pick only six. He is one of my go-to actors.

Nobody's Fool. One of the most neglected of his movies. Amazing performances. Slow story. Simple story. Great film (imo).

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Early Newman. Incredible film. Even better when you are actually old enough to be watching it and have a clue about what they are talking about.

Butch and Sundance. Newman and Redford go outlaw. What more could one ask for ?

The Sting. Ditto with a TWIST or two.

Absence of Malice. Modern film in the city. Another quiet performance in a film that packs a punch.

Hud. Anti-hero that you pay attention to.

left off the list but deserves to be there is Cars. As the voice of the older experienced car it was perfect casting and a fine end to a distinguished career.

I had actually planned on including Cars, but I discovered (the hard way) that these polls only allow a maximum of 50 options. So I was forced to make some cuts. Choosing what to cut was not easy, as I was bound to disappoint someone no matter what I chose. Since Cars was an off screen voice-over, I reluctantly chose Cars as one of the several cuts I had to make.
