Refer (if you need to) to [Highest Rated Feature Film Actor Titles With Paul Newman](http://www.imdb.com/filmosearch?explore=title_type&role=nm0000056&ref_=filmo_ref_job_typ&sort=user_rating,desc&mode=detail&page=1&job_type=actor&title_type=movie) and select (and post) your favorite Newman acting job.
For me they would have to be:
1. Cool Hand Luke (1967)
2. The Hustler (1961)
3. The Long, Hot Summer (1958)
4. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969)
5. The Sting (1973)
