Cool Hand Luke is king
September 28th, 2008 by Wade Tatangelo in News
I’ve been feeling like shit the past few days. Hunkered down at my apartment Friday and my parents’ place Saturday. Last night, I waited until everyone went to bed (my cousin and his wife were visiting from Pennsylvania) and then spent $1.99 of my folks’ hard-earned money on Cool Hand Luke (thanks ma and pa).
I laughed. I sniffled. I cheered the rugged individualism, the rebellion, the killer grin Luke flashed — even with a slug through his neck. Love that movie. On Saturday, in honor of the actor’s passing, I posted a list of my 10 favorite Newman flicks here at the Daily Loaf, along with clips of each selection.
“That old Luke smile”
