2. A truly great movie. The art of the scam.

Until Trump.

3. One of my favorite movies ever.

The casting, the soundtrack, the story, the costuming - perfection all the way around.

It totally had me when Johnny Hooker was fake shot, and I was so relieved when he got up off the floor.

Our older son is a fairly accomplished piano player, and one of his favorite pieces to play is Solace from this movie.

15. The version of "Solace" used in the film is a shortened version of Scott Joplin's original piece.

I definitely recommend hearing the whole thing. "The Sting" director George Roy Hill described it perfectly as "haunting".

"The Sting" is also one of my favorite movies. Robert Redford and Paul Newman never lose their power to dazzle. As pointed out above, the entire cast was pitch-perfect. With Johnny Hooker's strong bond with Luther and his family, in a time of deeply-ingrained racism, you knew he was one of the good guys, bad gambler or not.

The split-second timing of the con at the Western Union office is masterful, and always incredible fun to watch.

5. The "mark" was also just a great actor in Jaws.......👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻

6. If you want to watch another great Paul Newman movie...

watch "Absence of Malice". It's a movie you must pay attention to. It's a very mental movie, but the book is even better.

13. I'm watching a DVR'd copy of Absence of Malice right now.....

14. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do...

9. Put Scott Joplin on the map.

Love every one of his works, even if the syncopation has my mind and fingers tied in knots and stepping all over each other.

Perfect pairing with the flow of the movie.

I especially appreciated the paint job.

If you had put half a million on Mystic Dan to win, you would have made $9 million.

10. The audience is delighted to learn

that it is they who have been stung!

11. rewatched it about a month ago.

i rarely watch a movie or read a book twice. there r just too many more good 1s out there.
but that was the 4th time i’ve watched the sting, and i enjoy it every time.

[choie]

12. I don't know how many times

I’ve watched The Sting, and I love it each time! The plot and the teaming of Paul Newman and Robert Redford, along with co stars Robert Shaw and Harold Gould - just brilliant!
