June 27 | Sometimes a Great Notion
Dir. Paul Newman, 1971, 1 hr 53 min
Sometimes a Great Notion is an American drama based on Ken Kesey’s novel of the same name, following the fiercely independent Stamper family of Oregon loggers as they clash with their community when they refuse to join a logging union strike. Starring Paul Newman as Hank Stamper alongside Henry Fonda, Lee Remick, Michael Sarrazin, and Richard Jaeckel, the film explores themes of individualism, family loyalty, and stubborn resilience amid economic and emotional hardship, with powerful performances and striking Pacific Northwest landscapes anchoring this classic story of work, pride, and perseverance.
