Paul Newman is great. I really felt his pain when eating all those eggs. The movie is a little too long though, it dragged at times.

I can see why this is a classic. It's not really a story line I care for, but to hell with that; I ain't marking the score down because I didn't like the plot. I'm rating the film based on production quality and so on. It's got quality in spades.

Dragline: My boy says he can eat fifty eggs, he can eat fifty eggs.

What struck me positively about "Cool Hand Luke" right from the start was the great cinematography. Prison dramas often struggle to provide variety on a visual level due to the limited setting, but this movie easily manages it. The performances are no less impressive, especially those of Paul Newman and George Kennedy. Newman manages to convey many emotions with just a few words. His transformation from indifferent to optimistic and finally to broken is palpable. Admittedly, you have to live with the fact that "Cool Hand Luke" is a movie with almost no female characters and with an almost exclusively white cast. But if you can accept that, you will be served a fascinating character study.

Don’t really get why people love it so much. Is it bad? No. Entertaining? I guess. But a classic? I don’t know.

It drags quite a bit if you ask me, but I should end on a positive note: the acting is good and it looks amazing for the time. I can give it that.

Of course, Paul Newman and the cast of prisoners deserve the accolades they garner for this film, but the standout performance of the entire film is Jo Van Fleet as Luke's failure of a mother.
In her one short scene, we find out that she never married Luke's father, that she liked Luke when he was causing trouble more than when he tried to settle down, and that she never loved her younger boy and only felt guilty about that despite saying she felt responsibility for Luke's situation.

**A perfect representation of the tribulations of nonconformism.**

I honestly don't know why this movie is considered a classic. It was dull and boring.

This story is a wonderfully crafted tale presented in the atmosphere of the deep-south. A host of well-known performers - in addition to Paul Newman & George Kennedy include such greats as Harry Dean Stanton, Dennis Hopper, Ralph Waite, Strother Martin and, Joy Harmon. Kennedy's role as Dragline promotes the main character, Luke (Newman) by positioning him as top dog because regardless of the odds, Luke will continue to propel forward. I'd share more but you should really take the time to enjoy this heartfelt story. You will not be disappointed.
