I thought making y'all choose between Dean, Brando and Clift was cruel, but this one, I think, gives it a run for its money. For some reason, as seen earlier, I've had Butch & Sundance on my mind today... and Warren's never far off my mind no matter the circumstance. He and Faye Dunaway made for the prettiest damned pair of killers in '67, and two years later Newman and Redford made for the next prettiest pair. As is my wont I'm casting Dunaway to the wolves for this exercise (believe me, that broad can take it), and asking y'all to CHOOSE! Here's a refresher to see what I am making you decide between:
Robert Redford
Paul Newman
(for more Newman, click here)
Warren Beatty
(for more Warren, click here and here)
So...
who'd ya marry, who'd ya do, and who'd ya dump?
Do tell in the comments...

Paul Newman
(for more Newman, click here)Warren Beatty

For the record, I would:
ReplyDeleteMarry - Paul Newman
Do - Warren Beatty
Dump - Robert Redford
And I'll surprised if that isn't the general consensus.
This is way too obvious, I have the same order.
ReplyDeleteDo- Warren, he looked so good at so many different movies
Dump- Rob, the skin is creepy. What are those growths?
Mary- Paul, he has been working the Woodward beard for decades waiting for me. I'd do his corpse.
But I think I'll go with your idea of the general consensus, JA. That sounds about right. But Rob, one of the sexiest men of the 20th century (at his peak), as the dump-e pretty much says how good the competition is. DAYUM.
ReplyDeleteWow, yeah, I'm with the group thus far. It's too bad, because I'd love to be contrarian. But:
ReplyDeleteDo: Warren Beatty. I'd marry the guy, but who wants to be looking over one's shoulder all the time.
Dump: Robert Redford. Lions for Lambs does him no favors in this regard. And Three Days of the Condor was boring as fuck.
Marry: Paul Newman. Talented, handsome, incredibly loyal (married 50 years!), seems like a great guy. The man was on Nixon's enemies list!
Birds of a feather!
ReplyDeleteMarry - Paul Newman. C'mon people, free salad dressing for life.
Do - Warren Beatty. Sizzlin'
Dump - Robert Redford. In his hey-day, sure... but I like a fella who can age a bit more gracefully.
I'm going with the concensus:
ReplyDeleteMarry-Newman (particularly if we're at his Cat on a Hot Tin Roof days)
Do-Beatty (particularly if we're in his Splendor in the Grass days)
Dump-Redford (though I will forever be heartbroken and feel idiotic for turning down Hubbell Gardiner).
I'm not a Redford fan at all so it's an easy decision to dump him.
ReplyDeleteBut it's a toughie between the other two. I'd say I'd marry Warren Beatty and do Paul Newman. If only to go against the consensus.
I remember going to a screening a few years ago of a short film that Faye Dunaway directed followed by Network. She was there to introduce both. After her short film, she took a few questions about it then told the audience that she had no idea what movie was about to be shown. After a few people shouted Network she said, "Oh, fine...that's a great movie. You'll enjoy it."
ReplyDeleteI have trouble with this one as it's difficult to divorce the fact that I'm aware what they all look like now. Same problem with looking at William Holden in Golden Boy then trying to reconcile that image with him in S.O.B.
Still, I'd dump Redford because I can only handle so much environmental chiding, do Beatty as long as he doesn't Bulworth rap, and marry Newman so I can have free salad dressing in perpetuity.
Marry - Paul
ReplyDeleteDo - Robert
Dump - Warren (he probably thinks this post is about him, don't he, don't he!)
f%&#ing hell Paul Newman is hot.
ReplyDeleteDo: Warren Beatty
ReplyDeleteDump: Paul Newman
Marry: Robert Redford.
I don't mean to be contrarian, but I'm going to have to disagree with the consensus and dump Paul Newman. I just can't get into Cool Hand Luke.
Do - Robert Redford: if only for Barefoot in the Park.
ReplyDeleteDump - Warren Beatty: always found him kinda sleazy, and his head is an odd shape.
Marry - Paul Newman: cos he would keep me in good pasta sauce.
Marry - Paul Newman (those eyes don't age ... I'd happily make spaghetti sauce with him for eternity)
ReplyDeleteDo - Warren Beatty (c'mon ... that's what he was born for .. the dog)
Dump - Robert Redford (cute, but unnecessary with Paul to spoon and Warren to snog)
would you mind blog exchanging. expecting your reply soon
ReplyDeleteHm..
ReplyDeleteI'd marry Paul Newman,
do Warren Beatty six ways to breakfast,
and dump Robert Redford.
Wow, I guess most everyone did agree on this one.
Marry - Redford
ReplyDeleteDo - Beatty
Dump - Newman
I can't really get with the Newman bandwagon, and I'd totally marry Warren if I wasn't scared that Annette would kick my ass. I do love Redford (in his heydey) though.
HapiBlogging to you my friend! Have a nice day!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely joining the consensus. Marrying Paul, doing Warren, dumping Robert.
ReplyDeleteI have a thing for blonds, so I have to go against the grain.
ReplyDeleteMarry - Robert
Do - Warren
Dump - Paul
I actually find Warren to be rather annoying, but in the looks department alone, he beats out Paul. Is a four-way out of the question?
Do- Beatty, long and hard
ReplyDeleteDump- Newman (not that attractive to me, sorry)
Marry- Redford (I can get into Sundance for free, y'all!)
Marry Paul Newman not only was he an amazing human being he was also an avid gay supporter and he treated everyone as a human being.He never looked down on us and I will always respect him in more ways than on for the incredible compassionate and truly special man he was.
