#CoolHandLuke #4K #Review

This 4K UHD edition of Cool Hand Luke on 4K Ultra HD includes the Blu-ray and Digital HD. The DVD is not included.

His crime: nonconformity. His sentence: the chain gang. Paul Newman plays one of his best-loved roles as Cool Hand Luke, the loner who won't - or can't - bend to the arbitrary rules of his captivity. A cast of fine character actors, including George Kennedy in his Oscar-winning role of Dragline and the indelible Jo Van Fleet as Luke's mother, give Newman solid support. And Strother Martin is the Captain who taunts Luke with the now-legendary line, "What we've got here is... failure to communicate". No failure here. With rich humor and vibrant storytelling power, Cool Hand Luke succeeds resoundingly.

This 4K UHD edition of Rebel Without a Cause on 4K Ultra HD includes the Blu-ray and Digital HD. The DVD is not included.

In one of moviedom's most influential roles, James Dean plays Jim Stark, the new kid in town whose loneliness, frustration and anger mirrored those of postwar teens - and reverberate more than 40 years later. Natalie Wood (as Jim's girlfriend Judy) and Sal Mineo (in his screen debut as Jim's tag-along pal Plato) were Acadamy Award nominees for their achingly true performances. Director Nicholas Ray was also an Oscar nominee for this landmark film chosen as one of the Top-100 American Films by the American Film Institute.
