Robert Redford or Paul Newman ...

[Jessica]

Faced with this tough, fabulous decision, who would you choose?

[graywarrior]

1. Newman.

No contest. Class act.

[Abelman]

2. Newman

He's aged more gracefully, his salad dressing is superb, and Cool Hand Luke is better than any Redford movie I've seen.

[Richardo]

3. 'All the President's Men' is the best Redford movie, IMO.

Tough choice - even for a het guy. :)

[imenja]

14. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

has to beat All the President's Men. And I don't even like westerns as a genre.

[Richardo]

16. OH I agree with that, I thought we were talking about 'solo' projects...

BC&TSK and The Sting are two of my all-time faves. :popcorn:

[imenja]

17. The Hustler is my very favorite

but Cool Hand Luke is in the top four, with Hud and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is great too.

[Lavender Brown]

4. Robert Redford

I love Paul Newman, but he's almost too pretty.

Whose foot is that in your avatar? Just wondering :shrug:

[Jessica]

6. Dunno ...

I just saw the pic & it reminded me of a pair of shoes I had as a little girl. :)

[Lavender Brown]

10. Ah...

I had red patent leather shoes, I pretended they were Dorothy's magic slippers. :)

[luvLLB]

5. Newman...those eyes.

[imenja]

7. I choose a threesome

can I please?!!! :loveya:

[Jessica]

9. Lol!

Yes ... wish I could make it an option without getting shut down. :)

[imenja]

13. under great duress

I choose Newman. It just ain't fair though. They don't make them like that anymore.

[CottonBear]

8. Newman.

Those eyes.

I saw him in person once many years ago in the late 1970s. He was racing at Road Atlanta. He walked past me about 10 feet away from me. (He is a very small person.)

[Butterflies]

11. Paul Newman's eyes make me weak in the knees

though I wouldn't be disappointed with the alternative choice in the poll. :-)

[yvr girl]

12. My Mom loves Newman

I thought Redford was better looking. I must say Newman has aged better.

They're both classics.

[PBR me]

15. reg dunlop all the way

[demnan]

18. Newman

More personality, better actor, more interesting wife . . .

and good salad dressing to boot! What's not to like!

[imenja]

19. Redford has got plenty of personality

though I choose Newman as well--based purely on sex appeal. I don't think Redford is married anymore, but he did date Sonia Braga for a while. You can't call her dull.

[progmom]

20. I think Paul Newman is one of the hottest men ever.

[Jessica]

21. I agree ...

Actually, I think he just might be the hottest ever. This is my favorite picture of him:



Most beautiful. Man. Ever.

[imenja]

22. I'm surprised the vote isn't closer

10 or 15 years ago it would have been much closer. Redford hasn't aged nearly as well as Paul though. Paul Newman is one of nature's great wonders, always beautiful.

[donheld]

23. 30 years ago it would have been a close contest, now

i'll just take a V-8

[Flaxbee]

24. oh lord have mercy, don't make me choose!

I voted for Redford to make it closer, though Paul has aged better (less time in the sun, I think). Redford's got those great, long legs and a tight little butt, he still looks mighty fine in a pair of jeans. And Sundance is a cool endeavor all the way around (though the stuff in the catalog is ridiculously overpriced). And I thought "Sneakers" was hilarious, if we're talking about some more recent films.

Newman's breathtaking, though. Nooo doubt about it.

[KG]

25. PN can actually act.

redford plays the same guy in every role.

[seventythree]

26. Yah, but what a guy!

The Way We Were is my all time favorite. That end scene when Streisand asks him to come by sometime for a drink -- and he looks at her and says, "I can't" -- I must have put it on rewind 25 times, and watched it over and over and over. I related to that movie in a myriad of intricate ways.

[Schema Thing]

27. As a 100% hetero male, even I would have been dissapointed

in womankind if I clicked on this thread and Newman wasn't leading by a fairly wide margin. :dunce:

[imenja]

32. 15 years ago that would not have been the case

the problem is Redford hasn't aged terribly well.

[Schema Thing]

33. heheh.... 15 years ago, I would not have been man enough

to express my strong opinion, lol.

[mondo joe]

28. Newman in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and Long Hot Summer is

the most exquiste human being ever to exist.

Though I actually prefer him as a bearded artist in What a Way to Go.

[elperromagico]

29. Newman is by far the better actor,

all due respect to Redford.

[tjdee]

30. Redford! My God, People!!

Oh my poor sweet Robbie....getting shafted so handily....sure, Paul may have the better range and the tastier food items, but Robbie gave us Sundance!

My word, I canna believe me eyes. Plus, Newman's got finer features, which irritates me ever so slightly. Redford seems fuller in a way.
Newman's all "I'm going to have my way with you" and Redford is more "May I have my way with you?"

Aww.

[imenja]

31. I'm also surprised he's polling so badly

I love them both, but I did ultimately have to choose Paul. Still, it's bizarre Redford should be doing so badly in this poll.

[khashka]

34. Redford easily

But I agree with Susan Sarandon that Butch and Sundance woulda been a better movie if, in the end, instead of getting their guns out, they'd gotten their dicks out.

Khash.

Sorry, sorry, really. I couldn't help myself - it was such a great quote.

[RevolutionaryActs]

35. Paul Newman of course.

He's so dreamy. :loveya:

:silly:

[Left Is Write]

36. Redford.

[libodem]

37. Robert Redford

Do you know how handsome he is?

[Left Is Write]

42. Back in the 70s, a lot of people made a dessert known as...

"Better Than Robert Redford Cake."

I never knew anyone who made a "Better Than Paul Newman Cake," though my mother used to say it would be hard to choose between Newman and Redford. She rather liked Warren Beatty also.

[Seabiscuit]

38. Paul Newman's a man's man. Redford's a pretty boy.

No real comparison.

Plus, in his older age, Redford's pockmarks are showing on his face.

[ofrfxsk]

39. Newman

I used to love Redford when I was younger but what the fuck did he do to his face!?!?!?
It's horrifying! Just say NO to plastic surgery.

[Reverend_Smitty]

40. Paul Newman

He was so dreamy in Cool Hand Luke

[samplegirl]

41. Newman

He is quite avid car racer and saw him once and he signed the top
of a six pack for me and friend. He use to race not far from
me at a place called Nelson Ledges.
