Nobody's Fool

If there were such a thing as a chick flick for guys this would be it! Paul Newman, in one of his finest roles as the grizzled old Sully Sullivan, perfectly portrays the rogue saint here. As a man in his twilight years coming to grips with the sum of his life and his meaning to those around him Nobody's Fool touches on the key issues of what it truly means to be a man. With amazing character contrast provided by Bruce Willis this is the perfect stormy winter night film to share with a loved one. Sadly, Newman lost out at the Oscars to Tom Hanks on this...sadly because it is certainly his defining role from this time period. Also sadly, this marks the last film of screen legend Jessica Tandy whose turn as landlady Beryl Peoples is a pure joy to watch.
