'Hombre'

Hmm. Another film that's better than The Sting, Cool Hand Luke, Butch Cassady ... and The Hustler.

My assertation has always been that nobody gave a hoot about Paul Newman until he died suddenly (to us, of course) two years ago. Once he passed, everyone was coming out of the woodwork to talk superfluously about all his great films. Blah, blah, blah.

Since, no one's said a word and I've gone on to watch half his movies.

Newman, it turns out, wasn't overrated. He was just being rated for all the wrong movies. Hud is still his best. Hombre has to be up there.
