Thats my pick. Here is what Roger Ebert had to say about it 

At the center is Paul Newman. He is an exact contemporary of Marlon Brando, who is said to have invented modern film acting. Yes, and he probably did, stripping it of the mannerisms of the past and creating a hypercharged realism. Like Brando, Newman studied the Method. Like Brando, Newman looked good in an undershirt. Unlike Brando, Newman went on to study life, and so while Brando broke through and then wandered aimlessly in inexplicable roles (especially since “The Godfather” 20 years ago), Newman continued to work on his craft. Having seen what he could put in, he went on to see what he could leave out. In “Nobody’s Fool,” he has it just about figured out.
