I've admired Paul Newman ever since I saw:


That movie has served (and still serves) as a personal inspiration to me on more than one occasion. That and his stellar performance in:



The Hustler.

I'll miss his grace on the silver screen.


Cheers Paul! And many thanks for your wonderful contribution to the screen.

cheers,

he was also great in THE STING

Cool hand Luke will always be one of my favourites.

Yep... and also "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid".

The Verdict...

That was a fantastic movie

my all-time favourite,Slap Shot...

True story, the guy who now owns the team in Johnstown (named the Chiefs) is local to my area ( he owns a microbrewery and attends the same church I also sometimes attend). The Johnstown Chiefs are not the Charlestown Chiefs (but rather were formed much later and named after the team in Slap Shot). But, if you ever get a chance to see the Chiefs play, it will look eerily familar since Johnstown is where Slap Shot was filmed. I am sure thattony Romo, living just a bit north of me, already knew this though.

just recently read an article about the guys who played the Hansen Brothers are still making appearances due to movie from 30 years ago...

PS: i've always wanted to tip over a venting machine after getting ripped off...last week i bought a bag of pretzels that were jammed against glass and would not drop dispite my punching the shit out of the machine...
