tier films.
"The Young Philadelphians": he explodes off the screen with repressed power and intelligence.
"Hombre:" you cannot write a better screenplay of what courage is. Perhaps a tad melodramatic but it worked for me. The ending gets to me, everytime.
"Harper:" the quintessential movie of one of modern cinema's great detective portrayals, right up there with "The Long Goodbye (Elliot Gould)" and "Chinatown (you know who)."
"The Long Hot Summer:" Newman is exceptional here as a barn-burner's son who claws his way up. His wife, also, is terrific.
"Cat on a Hot Tin Roof:" What's not to like? Two great actors play-off each other in great scene after great scene. Man, Elizabeth in that undergarment was burned into my juvenile libido!
