I'd highly recommend a few other Newman roles that you might enjoy - "The Hustler", "Hud", and "Cool Hand Luke" from the 60's. In later years, two roles stand out - "The Verdict" and quickly becoming another of my favorites, "Nobody's Fool" (a charming movie).

BTW - I enjoyed him very much in "Road to Perdition", too.
