I highly recommend a recent adventure/suspense movie, "All is Lost." He's alone at sea on a sailboat; trouble ensues. Excellent direction and Redford carries it with ease.

"Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" is one of the first movies I can remember seeing in a movie theater. I still watch it whenever it comes on, still laugh when Sundance sheepishly admits he can't swim, still love the freeze frame ending. Thanks for that, RR, and also The Sting, Sneakers, Out of Africa, The Natural and many many many more. posted by chavenet at 6:58 AM on September 16 [11 favorites]
Redford suggested to Woodward & Bernstein that they focus their Watergate book on their own investigative process instead of doing a straight retelling of the scandal as they'd planned. Yes, this was because he hoped to make a movie about it ¡ª nevertheless I always thought that was pretty astute of him. posted by theory at 7:06 AM on September 16 [27 favorites]

I really liked his work as an actor and director (from what I've seen) but even beyond that, Robert Redford's importance for movies cannot be understated. As Film Crit Hulk wrote earlier: "the fact he took that power and created the entire Sundance ecosystem, which fostered the american independent cinema boom - and probably most of your favorite directors - is one of those things that paid us with amazing work 100x greater than even the great work of his own career. It's the kind of career that makes endless ripples."

I have realized this morning that I've seen very few of Robert Redford's movies -- perhaps five. Must remedy that. He was in a lot of classic, much-referenced movies. I also appreciate that he was consistently on the right side of every political issue he spoke out on, and that no one seems to have any complaints about his behaviour.
Redford seems like one of those people who have been around so long and made such a solid contribution that they get taken for granted in a sense, at least by younger generations, and one doesn't quite realize significant they really were until one sees the size of the hole they leave behind when they're gone. posted by orange swan at 8:01 AM on September 16 [6 favorites]

After hearing about this, I did an online search for "modern movie stars." Let me say that the pickin's were slim.
The closest would be Clooney and Denzel. And, a generation younger, they don't yet have the depth and quality of catalog that Redford put together.
Redford was one of the last of the old-line Movie Stars. And he was also a great actor. What a career. (nthing Sneakers, which I may have to watch tonight)

he did some good work as an actor. Not the greatest of his time (or often as not the movie he was in). Somebody called him the anti-John Wayne, because his initial fame came as the Duke was on the wane. Very much a reflection of those times.
All The Presidents Men immediately comes to mind as his essential movie, certainly one I can watch pretty much any time. And, key point, it's very much an ensemble success. Script, direction, cast (of course), art direction -- everything. The guy was a team player all the way. Which made him a pretty solid director as well. Ordinary People didn't deserve to beat Raging Bull at the Oscars but it at least deserved a nomination.
Sundance, I think, will go down as his greatest achievement. Talk about a legacy. Well played, sir.
The Great Waldo Pepper is still on Netflix until the end of the month which is one of my favorites.
And of course The Hot Rock in which Redford was totally miscast as John Dortmunder , but not as badly cast as George C. Scott, Paul Le Mat, Christopher Lambert, and Martin Lawrence.
Glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks Spy Games is much better than it has any right to be.
While I'd not call him my favourite actor, he does appear is a lot of my favourite movies, and those films are better with him in them. He really had the "it" that makes someone compelling to watch on-screen.
The Sting is my favourite of his, even if he's playing second fiddle to Paul Newman. It's such a gloriously contrived plot, but it's based on some real-life long cons carried out by the Gondorff brothers. posted by scruss at 9:05 AM on September 16 [11 favorites]

My only scrap to relate/remind was his appearance in the sequel to "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" by Pirsig called "Lila: An Inquiry...".
Redford apparently wanted to make a movie of the book. When Pirsig met him he was blown away by meeting Redford and then had Redford say something about how most people "goon up" (or something) when meeting him.

Oh, damn, this is a hard loss. The ¡°movie star¡± image aside, the guy always gave such natural-feeling performances. Jeremiah Johnson is probably the first of his movies where I sat-up and noticed how damned good he was.
Three Days of the Condor was the first R rated movie I ever saw, at a 2nd run movie theater on Block Island that just ran movies continuously around the clock. It is etched in my memory for two main reasons: 1) it was the 1st movie where i came in at the middle, watched it through to the end, then watched the beginning (this was before, oh best beloved, VCRs and DVDs and even, in my world at least, cable TV) and 2) welp, I'm heterosexual and whoa, whoa what ARE these feelings?
I remained in love with Robert Redford - although he was undeniably Too Old - until, a few years later, Nicolas Cage came along in Valley Girl.
OK, small story, in the late 70's when I was young and stupid, I woke up in the San Diego County Jail one Friday. In the felony tank. I didn't know what I had done but I was sure it couldn't be good. Slowly over time, things normalized in there. During the weekend all processing stops and you stay where you're put. Saturday rolls around, and OK this is my new life. Sunday more of the same until Sunday afternoon, and it's movie time. The TV in the Felony Tank starts playing familiar, awful music. Barbara Streisand, The Way We Were. the most ridiculous tear jerker melodrama with Streisand & Redford. Everyone one in the tank, drug dealers, rapists, murderers, what have you, all quiet down and for 1.5-2 hours. We're enraptured by this treacly tossed off confection and become entwined in the lives on the screen, which, despite the dramatic twists, are SO MUCH BETTER than the mess we had made of our own lives. It's my best memory of my time in SD Jail, a really bad time in my life. By no means the best film either of them made but for a small amount of time life wasn't so bad. I love Robert Redford. He made lots of great, and a few not so great films, and when he was off the stage he was doing things to make life better for us all. I will miss you.
For me the two that i think of with him are The Sting (coincidentally filmed in part here in Pasadena - specifically the alley sequences towards the beginning don't know about later). That movie kicked off my fascination with con games.
The other is Sneakers - as a young computer nerd, starting fresh at MIT when it was released, that movie may as well been written specifically for me!
But I also remember when my now wife and I first watched The Way We Were. She was horrified by the ending where they run into each other years after they divorce and it's clear he hasn't been involved in his daughter's life. I reminded her that wasn't a typical for back then and it's exactly what my biological father did to my family. (Never did meet that man. Got a text from his step son saying he was dying and honestly felt nothing except "well what am I supposed to do with this?")

What crossed my mind was the realization that he's the same age as my parents. I'm old, my parents are really old, Redford was really old. They grew up in a far more fucked up world than we did, they tried their best to make a better world for our generations, and at some point those new generations came of age and started fucking it up again. And yeah that's not how it actually happened, but right now when I'm feeling particularly struck by how the people we love affect our sense of time, it's kinda how it happened anyway. posted by at by at 10:17 AM on September 16 [3 favorites]

The brilliance of casting Famous Leftie Robert Redford as the leader of fascist Hydra in Captain America: The Winter Soldier was truly one of the many things that make that movie so great. For a lot of my life, he was almost as famous for his activism as for his movies, and of course for his friendship with Paul Newman (another famous leftie).
I was obsessed for a while with Three Days of the Condor, but I hadn¡¯t seen it for a long time once that obsession faded, and when I did, that love scene weirded me out so much. But I kind of loved that about him¡ªhe could play the straight down the line romantic hero perfectly, but he wasn¡¯t afraid to mix it up.
It¡¯s still kind of amazing that he and Newman only made two movies together because they¡¯re such a legendary pair, but what movies they were. Butch Cassidy is still a movie that I will stop and watch anytime.

I'm 60 so I remember how huge he was in the '70s and how great it was watching a lot of his films on local TV.
The iconic role for me is, of course, Sundance in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. That's the firs thing that comes to mind when I think of him and I imagine it'll always be that way.
He wasn't an actor, he was a movie star, the last of of a certain type of movie star Hollywood used to specialize in. Brad Pitt, George Clooney, etc are movie stars, but Redford was a Movie Star. Perhaps I am being too subjective, due to how old I was when I first became aware of him.
There always seemed to be something in reserve about his onscreen persona, as though there was something he wasn't quite ready to save with the audience. Not mystique, but certainly a first cousin to mystique.
A life well lived and thank you, sir, for what you contributed.
RIP to one of the last old school stars. That appearance in Winter Soldier was splendid and yes, it was the best Captain America movie. Glad to see some love for Sneakers here. I also am repeatedly heartbroken by the ending of A River Runs Through It.
I don't know the extent of his involvement as a producer of the TV series Dark Winds. Hell, if he just used his influence to get it into production that's worth a slow hand clap alone. Bonus, the scene with his sitting in jail with George RR Martin. posted by Ber at 12:23 PM on September 16

I'm going to try to convince my wife to watch The Sting this weekend (she likes the movies I suggest, but it's always a bit of work to get something other than a fifties musical on the TV).

walking behind Redford as he rehearsed the same line over and over again, ¡°Tell Kepler in the map room the party¡¯s cancelled¡±.

All of the above - still a few of his films on my list, but my father made sure we saw All the King's Men, The Sting, and Butch Cassidy growing up. I laughed until I cried watching A Walk in the Woods with Redford and Nolte two or three years ago. Redford leveraged his receding good looks to both elevate Nolte's character portrayal past boorish buffoonery and offer some critique of his own legacy of "respectability."
I first learned of his name in Hongkong romance novels -- often times some handsome guy would be compared to 'ÂÞ°ÎÁи£' and found wanting. Finally understood what the fuss was about after watching "Out of Africa".
Just the other day I was thinking that to have given both Brad Pitt and Scarlett in their breakout roles ("A River Runs Through It", "The Horse Whisperer") in major movies is quite an achievement for any director.
Soderbergh was contacted by Baltimore Pictures to direct [Quiz Show], but the assistant of Mark Johnson, the head of Baltimore Pictures, happened to be married to the head of Robert Redford¡¯s production company, Wildwood, so the script was also sent to Redford. And one day, while Soderbergh was shooting King of the Hill (which Redford had agreed to produce in the aftermath of sex, lies), he got a phone call from Johnson saying, in so many words, that Redford was doing the project and Soderbergh would not be. This understandably put a bit of a dent in Soderbergh¡¯s relationship with Redford, and Redford ultimately backed out of producing King of the Hill. posted by rory at 9:38 PM on September 16 [1 favorite]
