1. Would it be wrong to vote for Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid only
only because Paul Newman is in it. :shrug:

7. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

the next is The Sting. Robert Redford is an excellent director, and a wonderful person, but his acting sucks if he's not boosted by very good actors, like Paul Newman, and Meryl streep.

3. Anyone remember BRUBAKER?
I believe it was made in 1980. One of Redford's more underrated films, but I've always liked it.

6. The Way We Were
is my favorite.

Barefoot in the Park is a close second.

8. I can't believed you mentioned one of the above ...
Even Robert Redford couldn't save "Out of Africa". That movie coupled with "The English Patient" have to be the ultimate in snore-fests. My husband and I were within the first few years of our marriage, but I took a risk and asked him, "Does this movie suck, or what? Want to leave?" He replied, "I thought you'd never ask. LOL

If only Robert Redford knew martial arts like Steven Segal or Chuck Norris. THEN he'd be the perfect actor. :P

9. An obscure one: The Hot Rock
Dated about 1972, it stars Redford and a bunch of other people as a
gang of rather inept jewel thieves.

Its a pretty entertaining movie, and it contains a scene that is amazing
in retrospect: At one point the gang is flying through Manhattan in a
helicopter, and flies by the World Trade Center as it is being BUILT!

14. Liked 'em all. I took JEREMIAH JOHNSON
-- but also loved Redford's directing on ORDINARY PEOPLE, THE MILAGRO BEANFIELD WAR, and A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT.

Redford's a class act.

16. "The Electric Horseman"
Edited on Fri Feb-25-05 12:49 AM by BrklynLiberal
where he frees the drugged up stallion...with Jane Fonda. He was not too young and not too old.
