Films of Robert Redford

 


Robert Redford just died  on the 16th of September at the age of 89 and it really affected me because he is one of the last of the giants of the big screen even though he is from the modern era. I’m changing this up just a bit because I can’t  just choose 3…. I tried, but I couldn’t and I am choosing more than 3 going from my favourite on down and will not give a synopsis. There are some famous films he made that I have yet to see like, “All The President’s Men” so I won’t showcase some famous films he did make. You can let me know which ones I should watch in your comments. Here we go…

1. THE STING-1973


2. BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID-1969


3. JEREMIAH JOHNSON-1972


4. BAREFOOT IN THE PARK-1967


5. THE GREAT WALDO PEPPER-1975


6. THE ELECTRIC HORSEMAN-1979


7. THE HORSE WHISPERER-1998


8. THREE DAYS OF THE CONDOR-1975


9. BRUBAKER-1980


10. THE GREAT GATSBY-1974


You can see there are some major omissions because I have not seen them yet. Redford started the Sundance Festival in his home state of Utah but he was prolific behind the scenes as well as a Producer and Director. He won an Oscar for “Ordinary People” a film I still need to see. I noticed that I really like his directing style and here are 3 films I love…

1. THE MILAGRO BEANFIELD WAR-1988


2. QUIZ SHOW-1994


3. A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT-1992


If you watch all these trailers…thank you!!  We lost a great one this week and I bow my head to this classic gentleman.
