Hud. Best Newman performance of all. Then The Hustler, then Cool Hand Luke.
However saying that, my favorite Newman film of all time and also my favorite film of all time is Cool Hand Luke. Just a great film.
But in this film - The Hustler George C. Scott is the best.. how he missed winning best supporting actor for this is one of the all time great oscar mis-steps..

The Verdict, The Hustler, Cool Hand Luke & The Colour of Money are my favourite performances by the epitome of cool

2 movies..one when he was younger called Cat on a Hot Tin Roof..he was raw and his performance was off the charts intense as a riled up young man and his performance opposite of Elizabeth Taylor(a superstar at that time) would bode well for the future.
when he was a bit older(69) a movie called Nobody's Fool..outstanding performance of an almost-elderly and unfulfilled man looking to make things right.

For me, his best ever performance was in The Verdict.

I'd pick Cool Hand Luke out of the bunch offered, but probably Cat on a Hot Tin Roof or The Verdict overall.

I have no idea (it's probably The Verdict), but my
favorite
of his is probably Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.

The Verdict, out of those three it's probably Cool Hand Luke. He was great in The Hustler but I think was uneven, he had some brilliant moments, but overall it wasn't all outstanding.

Hud
His acting seems more natural. He completely transformed himself into the character.
Everybody did good job of acting. If I had to pick someone for The Hustler. It would be George C Scott.

For some reason, Newman reminded me of Marlon Brandon in this.
