Everybody loves that cinematic failure to communicate, but Cool Hand Luke is pretty much bursting with insights both camouflaged and right out in the open for anyone who ever looked at a parking meter and hated it. Let’s go now with: “Get mad at them eggs!” Delivered by Oscar-winner George Kennedy’s character Dragline during that outta-nowhere bet that Luke can eat 50 eggs in an hour. It’s as enduring a statement as anything from Strother Martin’s Captain, who delivered the movie’s most famous line. On days when there’s money on the line and a last bite of something you don’t wanna swallow in your mouth, that’s the way to make it through—get mad at them eggs. Go see this movie and learn a little about how to live.
