I just watched Cool Hand Luke for the first time...found it good, not great

I'm shocked, as a 56 year old, that I never saw it, especially since Paul Newman stars in some of my all-time favorites (Butch & Sundance, The Sting). Maybe this movie will grow on me after some time, or another viewing.

Yeah. Good movies always take 3 viewings. First is to find out what happens -- CPRVHokie 01/05/2019 9:09PM

Some movies take more viewings than that. -- EDGEMAN 01/06/2019 12:32PM
