Paul Newman movies: 20 greatest films ranked worst to best Zach Laws, Chris BeachumFilm February 19, 2020 4:56PM DOUGLAS PIZAC/AP/REX/Shutterstock
Oscar-winning legend Paul Newman appeared in dozens of films throughout his lengthy career, but how many of those titles are classics? Let’s take a look back at 20 of Newman’s greatest movies, ranked worst to best.
For years Newman was the perpetual Oscar bridesmaid, racking up failed Best Actor nominations for “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” (1958), “The Hustler” (1961), “Hud” (1963), “Cool Hand Luke” (1967), “Absence of Malice” (1981), and “The Verdict” (1982), as well as a Best Picture bid for producing “Rachel, Rachel” (1968). The Academy handed him an Honorary Award in 1985, only to give him a competitive prize the very next year for “The Color of Money” (1986). He scored subsequent bids in lead for “Nobody’s Fool” (1994) and supporting for “Road to Perdition” (2002).
The actor enjoyed a lengthy career behind the camera as well, winning the Golden Globe and competing at the Directors Guild Awards for helming “Rachel, Rachel,” which brought his wife, Joanne Woodward, a Best Actress Oscar bid.
Newman’s extensive charity work brought him the Academy’s Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award in 1994. He and Woodward jointly received the SAG Life Achievement prize in 1986 and the Kennedy Center Honors in 1992.
On the small screen, Newman won an Emmy as Best Movie/Mini Supporting Actor for “Empire Falls” (2005), for which he also competed as a producer in Best Limited Series. He previously contended for directing “The Shadow Box” in 1981 and starring in “Our Town” in 2003.

Paul Newman是曾得奥斯卡最佳男主角的大明星,他的沙拉酱和我表哥的故事。。。。。
第二天,饭店马上无人问津,空空荡荡,表哥一家欲哭无泪,无语问苍天,不知道下一步怎么办了?
奇迹突然出现了,帅哥大明星保罗纽曼带了也是明星的美女太太来了,进门就叫了两碗酸辣汤,表哥马上现做了汤奉上,保罗纽曼拿勺翻了又翻,大声问表哥:猪血怎没有见到啊?表哥诺诺地答:大家叫我们是吸血鬼餐馆,都不来了,所以我把血不放了,明天就要登报道歉,並声明发誓永不见猪血在本店!
纽曼说:求求你了,给我们做最后一次带猪血的酸辣汤吧!想嚐嚐看!表哥马上照他要求,奉上有血的汤。纽曼呼噜呼噜很快幹完一碗,他太太不敢吃,一口也没有动,最后,纽曼也端过来,一饮而尽!走之前,高大帅气的Paul Newman搂着表哥的肩膀说:我刚搬来附近,开车10分钟就到,以后铁定常来光顾。
那两碗带血酸辣汤,的确是表哥在美国卖的最后两碗。纽曼却是每周必来报到一次,每一道菜都试,表哥也变成了菜导游,细细解释来处,作法,几年下来,他两成了好朋友, 纽曼从饭厅吃到了厨房,每叫几道菜,他本人都有特权在厨房监工,问东问西不厌其烦。
无疑他是位美食家!果不久他开了沙拉酱工厂,出品很多种沙拉酱,其中有一种叫东方的就有我表哥的功劳,纽曼常在厨房问尽了所有的调料,最让他爱不释手的是麻油,问表哥这是啥呀?表哥巧妙回答:中国妇女厨房滴的“香水”,没多久,纽曼就送来刚出厂的东方沙拉酱,里面成份有“麻油”!
后来,纽曼年老去世,表哥也住了养老院,我每次去看他,他都要我去超市查,那酱里还有麻油吗?所以我都先查好,才去看他好立刻回答他:还有!
这麻油是表哥和保罗纽曼特殊一段友谊的信物啊!
