This week we pay special tribute to the late great Paul Newman, one of the best-loved and brightest stars of all time.  Take a wistful look at the photo montage below and identify the movies starring this famously handsome leading man.

Answers will be put up on Wednesday morning. In the meantime I will be calling in sick so that I can enjoy a movie marathon of his memorable performances while snacking on some Newman Own’s popcorn.

I loved Charlton Heston.

I love Charlton Heston because as an honorary Texan, he held dear at least two, if not all three, of the Pillars of Texas Life, namely Jesus, guns and barbeque.

He was also the unchallenged master of the “Greased Up For Jesus” film genre  and shaped an entire generation’s visual ideas of the Bible. Seriously, what does Moses look like in your head? Exactly.

In fact, I’m pretty sure that from 1956 to 1963 any religion that didn’t feature a cinematic spectacular with a ripped dude in an equally ripped loin cloth, all slicked up with vaseline and righteousness wasn’t even protected under the Bill of Rights.

We’ll miss you Chuck!
