My favourite would be Cool Hand Luke.

Cheers.

I realize I’m very late to this party but I would suggest to you to research a little more about Paul Newman before you criticize the honoring bestowed him here.
Newman never made a dime by hawking pictures of himself on spaghetti sauce and salad dressing. All profits went to charity.
Further, I would suggest you read this article on Newman published after his death:

Any man who went to the lengths that he did to bring happiness to those less fortunate, especially children, deserves a place as a man of honor just like the fine gentlemen you mentioned.
Respectfully,

And LTB – lighten up! Sheesh, we can’t appreciate a great actor and a decent man without you butting in with your ‘bubbububu…butwaitaminute’? Take a chill pill and relax.

Before you get all high and mighty, do some research.

Nothing High and Mighty about it and I am sorry you missed my point.

I acknowledged actors can be manly and gave some example..
Nor were my comments or example only focused on Military Service..

The posts I read could have come out of “Vogue” or “Glamor” Magazine and it got my Goat.

I enjoy this site. Thank you for creating it. Thank you for creating a simple place for comments.

If this site is about Real Men should it not stick to the lives of real men.
Not Actors, Politicians, the “Rich and Famous”?

There are plenty of media outlets that talk of nothing else everyday.

Why not continue to focus on real men and what it means to be a real man… living in the real world . They are the ones who have earned my respect.

Sincerely and Respectfully

LTB

Some men you are, when you look too and lament the loss of an actor..

Real Men everyday live their lives courageously and honorably most times in obscurity. They are not pretenders, actors living in a make believe world..
They are not playing Cowboy or Soldier or Working Man or Prisoner they are the real thing.

The guns for the soldier are real and the blood, the long dusty ride of the cowhand is real. Those crazy fellows fishing the Bering Sea are more manly in their sleep than Paul Newman or those of his ilk..

They are real men who experience real the victories and defeats.. Not Hawking pictures of themselves on Salad Dressing Bottles or Spaghetti Sauce.

Man Up… the real heroes are fellows like Col Lewis Millet, Dr Jonas Sallk, FDR. Along with millions more who haul themselves to jobs many do not much care for to provide a future for themselves and their families.

They do not live lives of excess, lives of flattery…and adulation… and they like it that way.

Can Actors be real Men.. Sure…..

General Jimmy Stewart , Pilot, 23, B17 Bombing Missions over Europe.. Sgt Clark Gable Gunnery Instructor. Steve McQueen (troubled Marine), Lee Marvin (Plumber) Combat Marine. Professor Emeritus, Dollege Dean, NRA President Joe Foss (MOH).. Ronald Reagan… in the middle of defeating the Soviet Union shot by a real assassin…with a real bullet in his side…. his comment to the Doctors as he lay on the Operating Table… while the bullet was still in him….” I hope your all Republicans.”..

Pay Homage to Pretenders…..Pretty Boys like Newman?

Don’t make me Laugh.

For my money Butch & Sundance was on of my top five movies, but you have to love “Cool Hand Luke”.

He was quite a wonderful man and will be the ONE that we all should want to emulate.

I loved Somebody Up There Likes Me, Nobody’s Fool, The Sting, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and the Hustler. But I could list his whole career here.

You’ll be Greatly Misseed as an actor and most especially as a Compassionate Human Being,

John F McCarthy

He was a quiet, private, Man
But, a giant, amongst the stars
A philanthropist to millions
And owned and drove racecars.

He was a producer and director
And an actor, beyond, compare
He won almost every award
A great talent, one, so rare.

His great films will last forever
For, new generations to see
And he will always be with us
In the pages, of our history.

He always said, he was just lucky
But, it was us, who were blessed
For, while he was in this World
He passed almost every, Earthly test.

The Hole In The Wall Gang Camp
Serving, those Children who are ill
Where they could have fun, just be a Kid
One of those dreams, he did fulfill.

He was a family man, first of all
Married to Joanne fifty years
And he has left, each one of us
Filled, with memories, grief, and tears.

Survived by Joanne and five Daughters
His Son, Scott, he’s gone to see
He’s broken the bounds of this Earth
And from his suffering, set free.

He’s gone, to a much better place
And, I’ll bet he’s looking down
With sparkling eyes, and famous grin
And saying, “I’ll always be around!”

Rest in Peace, Paul.
