One of the Hollywood giants.  Age 89.

So many good roles over the years.  The Natural, All the Presidents Men, Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid, Spygame, & Sneakers (a personal favorite) to name a few. Plus he directed Ordinary People, Quiz Show among others.

Not Roy Hobbs!

So many great movies.  To add to Dons:   Jeremiah Johnson, A River Runs Through It, Three Days of the Condor, The Candidate.

Those first two are films I watched over and over with my dad.  Redford left a mark.

The Sting was another classic from his prime.  RIP to one of the greats.

Saw Butch Cassidy in the theater with a friend in 1969. We still talk about it. Loved it.

And Roy - totally with you on Jeremiah Johnson though that might not be for everyone.

A River Runs Through it is one of my all time favorites. And the final scene in that movie is definitely my favorite movie ending of all time. Just really got to me.

Forgot "The Last Castle".  Great flick about a military prison with Redford and James Gandolfini going head to head.
