Poll: Paul Newman's Greatest Movies

Blessed with the most recognized piercing blue eyes in film history, good looks, remarkable talent, intelligence and humility, Newman established himself as one of the greatest actors in film of all time. Starring in about 60 films that span a half of century career, it's hard to miss Paul Newman during the fifties, sixties, seventies and eighties because of his own way to re-invent himself in many unforgettable roles.

"I had no natural gift to be anything — not an athlete, not an actor, not a writer, not a director, a painter of garden porches — not anything. So I've worked really hard, because nothing ever came easily to me." Paul Newman
