Members Roman Posted September 27, 2008 Members Share Posted September 27, 2008 Cool Hand Luke. Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid. And the greatest disaster film of all time.... The Towering Inferno. He will be missed. http://www.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/Movies/09/...dead/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dan Posted September 27, 2008 Members Share Posted September 27, 2008 How ironic. I just watched "Torn Curtain" on Turner Classic Movies last night too. Rest in piece Paul. By the way Roman, you totally forgot his brilliant performance opposite Elizabeth Taylor in "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EricMontreal22 Posted September 29, 2008 Members Share Posted September 29, 2008 Just don't ever ask him about Towering Inferno a film he was deeply (overly) embarassed to have made (partly because aroudn the same time he finally gave into pressure and dropped his pursuit of filming the popular gay themed novel The Front Runner And Sweet Bird of Youth although they censored it from the play almsot as much as Cat it's great to have him repeating his stage performance on screen... Oh and Hud. Long Hot Summer. etc etc RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted September 29, 2008 Members Share Posted September 29, 2008 Hud and Cat were my favorites. Honestly, this man must have been the most beautiful being on earth in the 60s. That's probably why he seemed almost immortal and why I am so shocked at his passing. RIP. p.s.: I love Towering Inferno even if he never did.

Members Jess Posted September 29, 2008 Members Share Posted September 29, 2008 He acknowledged once that Towering Inferno was the only film he ever made for the money. Hud was my favorite, and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof was very good. Although, he was not the star, I thought he was very good in Road to Predition. I know some did not like it because he "seemed old." The character was old, Paul Newman was old and he played it the way it should have been played. I thought he gave a very nuanced performance.
