(Breathes, pauses) “Yeah, I can see why I didn’t make the list. Those guys are really good.”

1. Cool Hand Luke
2. Sister Luke, The Nun's Story
End of list.

How about:

"and what's your name...is it...Luke?" Evil grin while holding snake and chocolate.

11. Luke Perry "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"

[T-Bone]

Haha yeah Luke Wilson was what I was thinking too. Love the Luke from Handmaid's Tale though! Awesome random list.

It's still completly bonkers to me that one of the cult moments of Israel is lifted up from "Cool Hand Luke"
I Can't find the whole scene - but in the film "Charlie and a Half" it happens twice: each time not as a bet but as a weird punishment of sorts,
This is the set up for the first scene where it happens to our hero (The quote "How many eggs?" "How much there is" is a classic movie line.... for some reason) -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFkZbpvMx-c

And here it is happening to the antangonist - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0Sduu9TT74

From a rocking chair....Luke and Little Luke McCoy

Would Corey Haim's "Lucas" count?
