"Cool Hand Luke"

Watched Cool Hand Luke tonight. Great great movie, absolute masterpiece. You have to sit down, relax, maybe have a drink in your hand, and enjoy it. The movie was about southern state road chain gang, and among which a war veteran called Luke (played by the legendary Paul Newman) who had hard time to fit in the society or anything. The spirit as shown in the movie was truely memorable. "Small town, not much to do in the evening" said Luke, after he cut off the parking meter heads.

Besides, I just found out that the following quote
"What we've got here is... failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach. So you get what we had here last week, which is the way he wants it... well, he gets it. I don't like it any more than you men."
was from this movie, uttered by the captain, and mocked by Luke, while smiling. It was quoted at the beginning of Guns 'n Roses' famous song "Civil War".
