  1. theme (ending/aging parallel): The Color of Money → Slap Shot. Both films play Newman's age as a strength, battered but still the hottest thing, and end with a nonconventional, self-satisfying triumph rather than a big win.
    “not unlike Slapshot, where the movie's culmination is, I'm going to take all my clothes off and skate around in circles.”

  5. unmapped (dialogue / language): Miracle → Slap Shot. Hockey players curse well, so Miracle needs an R-rated cut; Slap Shot proves it.

  7. verdict (career ranking): The Color of Money → Slap Shot. Only Butch Cassidy, Cool Hand Luke, The Verdict and Slap Shot rank above this among Newman's films for the speaker.
