Amazon.com essential video
Paul Newman gives one of the defining performances of his career, and cemented his place as a beautiful-rebel screen icon playing the stubbornly tough and independent title character in Cool Hand Luke. And before he became familiar as a sidekick in 1970s disaster movies (Earthquake and the Airport movies), George Kennedy won an Oscar for playing Dragline, the brutal chain-gang boss who tries to beat loner Luke's cool out of him. It's a classic rebel-against-the-repressive-institution story in the line of One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest or The Shawshank Redemption. Certain moments have become classics--particularly the hardboiled egg-eating contest, and the immortal line (drooled by Strother Martin, as a sadistic redneck prison officer), "What we have here is a failure to communicate." And don't forget, Luke is also the source of the oft-quoted driving ditty, "I don't care if it rains or freezes, long as I have my plastic Jesus, right here on the dashboard of my car..." He is cool, all right. --Jim Emerson

 A Real Review of This Blu-Ray January 5, 2009
Phillip Hickok (Orlando, Florida)
Alright, I've noticed all the reviews have been of the film and a summary. I'm sure if you're looking to purchase this film, you've already seen it. I'm going to go on about this particular conversion of the film.
The visuals for this film wasn't upgraded very much from the DVD release (I also own). Image quality is not that much better than the DVD. The audio is much crisper. They separate the channels really well, however, I've noticed that it isn't in a true 5.1 Surround sound. It's in stereo and mono only. There is a special documentary called "A Natural-Born World-Shaker: Making Cool Hand Luke." After doing some research you'll find this is not upgraded from the DVD at all. This gets 5 stars from me, because simply, it's a film required for every film collection. Being rated G it's good for the whole family and holds tons of moral stories for you. Forget Disney, show your kids to reality, not brainwash.
 coll hand luke review January 4, 2009
Clayton (seattle, WA USA)
its a great movie would highly reccomend it but the reason i give it 4 stars and not 5 is because the ending is very sad.
One of the best movies ever made!! December 22, 2008

This is a great movie, but in Blu-Ray it is even better. The quality of the picture is excellant. I recommend it highly.

It had been a long time since I had seen it, but the interest in Paul Newman has risen since he passed away. Glad I saw it again and for making the purchase.
