Favorite Robert Redford movies?

[kentauros]

Three Days of the Condor
Sneakers
The Natural

Also liked him in the second Captain America movie, "Winter Soldier"

I had to agree with Samuel Jackson when he mentioned on The Daily Show that he couldn't figure out how they got Redford to take the part for that movie (it's quite out of character normally, yet there's still plenty of intrigue to attract him I would guess )

1. Since he narrated it and directed it I vote for A River Runs Through It.

Otherwise for pure starring roles a tossup between Three Days of the Condor and All the President's Men.

2. "All The President's Men"

Dustin Hoffman was way hotter than him in that IMO

[Tuesday Afternoon]

3. All Is Lost

brilliant.

a tour de force

I was mesmerized although I understand others have been underwhelmed.

I thought it sublime.

[Flaxbee]

4. I tried to watch it at a rather

difficult time in my life earlier this year (and couldn't get past the first 10 minutes)... things are better now; might give it a go again. I really like Redford and the movie seemed compelling.

I also like Sneakers, The Natural and A River Runs Through It.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

6. yes, all three of those were great movies ... Although I was thinking of him in roles

so not sure how he makes the cut in A River Runs Through It since wasn't he only The Narrator in that? I don't recall him playing a role.

Also, I have to mention The Sting ... one of my all time favorite movies.

As for ... All Is Lost ... I knew nothing going into it and had no idea what to expect.

The tensions just kept building and The movie is half over before one word is spoken.

I don't know. I can see why some would be bored with it but, I was scared to death for the man

I kept thinking ... any minute now ... Something Is going to happen ... lol ...

20. If "The Sting" is on,

even chopped up, reformatted, and so on, I'll still stop and watch it!

I haven't yet been in the right mood to watch "All Is Lost" so maybe I'll put it on Netflix

[alphafemale]

10. Watched that awhile back

Shortly after it came out on DVD.

Roomie and I started it intending to watch only a few minutes as it was well past 10PM.

We were both mesmerized and ended up watching the entire thing.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

13. that is what happened to me, too. I was on the edge of my sofa ... lol

for the whole entire movie!

[pinboy3niner]

5. Lots of good examples for Redford--plus his early TV appearance in Twilight Zone. nt

[Rhiannon12866]

28. Not to mention "The Untouchables!" :)

[Brother Buzz]

7. You just keep thinkin', Butch. That's what you're good at.

8. Jeremiah Johnson

I loved his transformation into a mountain man in a harsh environment although I didn't care for the ending. I assume you mean Redford's acting roles since he's been so productive in his career as a director and producer as well.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

12. that is another great movie. Yes. really good flick.

[femmocrat]

9. "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" of course.

"The Sting"
"The Horse Whisperer"

I would love him in anything. Wasn't he in that dumb movie, "Bus Riley's Back in Town" with Ann-Margret? Even that one! LOL

[alphafemale]

11. Barefoot in the Park.

Playing a stiff conservative.

So against type.

How could I not love Robert Redford in anything?

[Coventina]

23. This is my pick as well!

I'm a sucker for classic rom-coms.

Current ones, not so much.

Plus it's a Neil Simon play.


How can anyone NOT love it?

[CTyankee]

14. Definitely Three Days of the Condor. For the sex scene with Fay Dunaway if nothing else...

Hottest scene in a mainstream popular movie ever...sadly, it was edited heavily when I watched it again on youtube...

[frogmarch]

15. An Unfinished Life

Definitely.

16. "The Last Castle"

It was great seeing him and Gandolfini together.

Also:

The Electric Horseman

The Sting

The Natural

[awoke_in_2003]

25. I am with you on Last Castle

Didn't care for the Natural. What was he batting in that movie, .750?

[mackerel]

17. Ordinary People was good and Barefoot in the Park was delightful

[mackerel]

18. I've liked most of his films, The Candidate was another good film.

[GCP]

19. This Property is Condemned

I saw it once in the early 70s at an art-house cinema. Southern gothic with Natalie Wood, it made a big impression on me and it was the first movie I ever saw Redford in.

[Glorfindel]

21. Barefoot in the Park. One of the funniest movies ever!

But Mr. Redford is great in whatever movie he chooses to grace.

[Sherman A1]

22. The Great Waldo Pepper

is mine, but I like airplanes.

[BainsBane]

24. I'll add Spy Game

I really like that one, as well as Butch Cassidy, which has already been mentioned several times.

[valerief]

26. The Candidate. nt

[El Supremo]

27. The Milagro Beanfield War

He directed it.

[LWolf]

29. Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid

because it's the first Redford movie I ever saw, I had a HUGE tween crush on him, and saw it again and again and again.

I've liked almost everything he's done; another favorite: A River Runs Through It

[locks]

30. Butch Cassidy

which was over the top with me because I could watch Paul Newman at the same time!

[GoCubsGo]

31. The Natural.

Got to love a good baseball movie.
