Editorial Review:
Paul Newman gives one of the defining performances of his career, and cemented his place as a beautiful-rebel screen icon playing the stubbornly tough and independent title character in Cool Hand Luke. And before he became familiar as a sidekick in 1970s disaster movies (Earthquake and the Airport movies), George Kennedy won an Oscar for playing Dragline, the brutal chain-gang boss who tries to beat loner Luke's cool out of him. It's a classic rebel-against-the-repressive-institution story in the line of One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest or The Shawshank Redemption. Certain moments have become classics--particularly the hardboiled egg-eating contest, and the immortal line (drooled by Strother Martin, as a sadistic redneck prison officer), "What we have here is a failure to communicate." And don't forget, Luke is also the source of the oft-quoted driving ditty, "I don't care if it rains or freezes, long as I have my plastic Jesus, right here on the dashboard of my car..." He is cool, all right. The digital video disc is in anamorphic widescreen and digital stereo. --Jim Emerson
A defiant chain-gang prisoner suffers a "failure to communicate" in this searing drama. Paul Newman Shines in the title role, George Kennedy as his sidekick won an Oscar(R). Year: 1967 Director: Stuart Rosenberg Starring: Paul Newman, George Kennedy, J.D. Cannon

Rating:  - Overated and Boring
This supposed classic is an absolute bore and features characters that you could really care less about. I wish the studios would get serious about releasing older movies...Cool Hand Luke and Ms. Doubtfire aren't the types of older movies that most of us want to see released in the early years of Blu-Ray. How about Lawrence of Arabia and The Godfather?

Rating: - Communication breakdown
Paul Newman stars as Luke along with a marvellous cast in a prison gang film set in the deep south. Luke is a former war hero who when very drunk one night starts damaging parking meters (the very beginning of the film) and ends up serving time. Although apparently a very laid back character, the death of his mother changes Luke's attitude and the film hinges on this critical moment.
I've always enjoyed the film in the past on TV, but was too young to have seen it at the cinema first time ... Read More

Rating: - Cool Hand Luke - Too Cool
Actually bought this movie for my oldest son's 21st birthday. Both he and I think it's one of the coolest movies ever made. Don't care how many times I see this movie, Paul Newman is one Cool Dude..
