September 16Sep 16 The Natural is my favorite sports movie of all time. His accolades as an actor and director are too lengthy to list here. All time great head of hair. He will be missed.

September 16Sep 16 RIP to one of the greats. The Sting is one of those movies I always watch if I run across it. Since Sneakers was already mentioned I will nominate Brubaker as one of his “underrated films”. As a kid I watched that a ton and learned all about the corrupt prison system in this country.
September 16Sep 16 The last twenty minutes of A River Runs Through It are as beautiful as the end of any movie. He had great taste in his choices of films.

As somebody studying computer science and working in IT when that movie came out, I loved the shit out of that movie and still do today. Loved the cast. Loved that it started out as a sequel to War Games. Putting aside Redford and the rest of the cast, it's a well-made/tightly-edited movie. 3 minutes ago, Don Johnson said: Spy Game another underrated IMO.
September 16Sep 16 RIP to a damn icon. Redford persona and charisma overcame his inability to play by Hollywood's conventional rules. A true artist. The greatest ending of any baseball movie ever....

September 16Sep 16 Spy Game The Natural Jeremiah Johnson Indecent Proposal Enjoyed many films he directed as well. Did not know until today that he went by his middle name. Charles is his first name.

September 16Sep 16 Damn. Butch and Sundance is in my top 5 all time favorite movies. His support of independent film and art made a profound impact on so many young artists and helped launch innumerable careers. A huge loss, but an even larger enduring impact.
September 16Sep 16 Three Days of the Condor is another remote drop film for me, along with All the President's Men.RIP, Sundance.
September 16Sep 16 I imagine TCM will have a nice tribute and marathon. Time to load up the dvr I guess.
September 16Sep 16 just woke up. robert redford has died, and everything is worse now. in 4 of my top 10 movies all time and directed a 5th. “my dad wanted me to be a baseball player.”
September 16Sep 16 Well, looks like Butch and Sundance are gonna get a watch tonight. RIP to one of the best to ever do it.
September 16Sep 16 Damn shitty news today. Sneakers is one of my faves. So damn good, among so much of his work. RIP to one of the greats Edited September 16Sep 16 by Captain Ron
September 16Sep 16 One of the all times greats. This hurts. His closing narration in A river runs through it still gives me chills.
September 16Sep 16 RIP to one of the all time greats. I imagine he and Paul are tearing it up somewhere. Two things I didn't know until today: * Redford was on a baseball scholarship at UC-Boulder but lost it because of his drinking * his Mom was from Austin and so they spent a lot of time here when he was growing up.

September 16Sep 16 He had so many great roles. My go to is All the Presidents Men Sneakers Three Days of the Condor Barefoot in the Park

His Granddad built the house my wife's Aunt currently lives in and that's where he spent summers growing up. I think it was like 15-20 years ago my wife's Aunt gets a call from "Bob's people" explaining he would like to come visit the house and relive memories. She had no idea the history. He shows up and proceeds to spend several hours telling her and my wife's uncle about the story of his granddad building it and his memories of the times he spent here. They are to call him Bob, as that's what his friends call him, and if they ever want to come to Sundance Film Festival, please call him and they will be his special guest. They never took him up on that. My MIL was some kinda pissed she wasn't notified ahead of time he was coming (they didn't tell anyone). Lol.
