24 hours of Paul Newman

Turner Classic Movies will pay tribute to legendary actor Paul Newman, who died this weekend at age 83. On Sunday, Oct. 12, TCM will dedicate its entire 24-hour schedule to movies by the Oscar-winning actor. The lineup (which only includes films Newman made from 1956 to 1968) will include the iconic “Cool Hand Luke,” the Alfred Hitchcock thriller “Torn Curtain,” and my personal favorite “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” with actress Elizabeth Taylor. Are any of the films in the lineup below one of your favorite Newman films?

I agree with val, I do love those. And where is “Hustler?” I will always miss him.

If your going to bother doing a tribute at least let the fans pick which memorable movies we’d like to see. You’ve left out some of the best.

Why are the greats playing so late in the evening? I can’t stay up past 10 on a Sunday. And I LOVE Cat on a Hot Tin Roof!

Katherine, I agree. The three I really want to see (that you can choose from) come on at 10, midnight and 2 a.m.! And Kelly, I’m with you as well on letting the fans pick. I’d love to see “The Vedict,” “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,” “The Sting,” and “Absence of Malice.” Perhaps they’ll devote another day to later films.

We just need more than 24 hours so we can work them all in. I’d also like to see “Nobody’s Fool” included.
