You can pick Only One: what’s your favorite Robert Redford movie?

Just one. I’ll go first: The Sting.

Some have touched on it in his RIP thread ➜ RIP Robert Redford ■ .

What’s yours?

Ordinary People

As I said in that thread, The Sting, but he is one part of a large ensemble cast. I’m not sure how much credit to give him for the greatness of the movie.

He was an iconic actor but I’m not sure if he was a great actor. Paul Newman, he was a great actor.

Botch Casually And The Somedunce Kid (I may have the spelling wrong :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:)

Butch and Sundance barely nudges out Sneakers.

All the President’s Men

He made so many good movies but my favorite performance is in The Candidate:

Stranger

He was terrific in Three Days Of The Condor.

This would be my answer too, only Redford doesn’t appear in it. For a movie that stars Redford, I would pick Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

Same - though I also really enjoy Spy Game and Last Castle.

Username does not check out.

Spy Game

I recall the one Mad parody being called The Way We Bore.


Being a baseball fan has to be The Natural.

One poll coming right up…

Jeremiah Johnson followed closely by Three Days of the Condor.

Another vote for Jeremiah Johnson. A truely intense man’s movie.

Og help me, I’ve only seen the social-media-reaction meme (Redford as Johnson, nodding his head in approval).

My favorite is Sneakers though his work with Newman is exemplary.

I would pick Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. I’m a sucker for cowboy outlaw movies of any stripe.

The Sting, all the way.

And I know it’s pick only one, but after that it’s The Natural, then The Great Waldo Pepper.

J.J. for sure.

Not just a man’s movie. It’s essentially a love story.
