Newman is the better twilight-years actor, McQueen is hawt in a leather-bar-fantasy kind of way, Marvin the most sinister, and Mitchum the most blasé. If I was voting on acting, I'd vote Newman, and he makes better tomato sauces too.

it wasn't the action, but the mystery that wasn't that tight, i guess. and this was all pre miranda? so i guess if he sees a couple dudes in a car that give him the eye he can chase them at 70mph and they'll ram into a gas station and it all blows up, and that's that. doesn't even have to figure out what they were up to?

No; let's just say at least PN wasn't having any Scientology...
I saw in one of those small-press books about homosexuality in the movies that Paul Newman was the first actor to say "faggot" in a Hollywood film (maybe Harper), and the author added "How ironic etc."

of course they're all great but NEWMAN is the only one that's really always solid, the marrying type.

Fast Eddie: I told you I got drunk.
Bert Gordon: Sure you got drunk. You have the best excuse in the world for losing; no trouble losing when you got a good excuse. Winning... that can be heavy on your back, too, like a monkey. You'll drop that load too when you got an excuse. All you gotta do is learn to feel sorry for yourself. One of the best indoor sports, feeling sorry for yourself. A sport enjoyed by all, especially the born losers.
Fast Eddie: Thanks for the drink.

Robert Mitchum? Far out. Didn't think I could vote in "I'm not gay but if I was...." but I would have expected Paul Newman to be a shoe-in. Dear straight men, I fail to understand your homoerotic desires.

PB is, as far as I can tell, the best American film of '67.
Bunch of Newman films follow it on TCM (The Long Hot Summer w/ Woodward, Welles, Lansbury, Remick).
― A Patch on Blazing Saddles (Dr Morbius), Saturday, 12 September 2009 15:19 (fourteen years ago) link
Summer has a couple of Newman beefcake shots and a few fat jokes b/w Lansbury and Welles.
― vulva eyes (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Saturday, 12 September 2009 15:23 (fourteen years ago) link

The least of these 4 is easily McQueen btw.

Burt Lancaster is sort of at the tail end of your Errol Flynn and Douglas Fairbankses, and then he stopped grinning so wide and because something else entirely.
